Old Perak monastery fails to set aside APMC's eviction notice

PUTRAJAYA (Feb 28): The old Buddhist Dhamma Sakyamuni Caves Monastery in Gunung Kanthan, Hulu Kinta, Perak, on Wednesday failed to set aside an eviction notice by Associated Pan Malaysia Cement Sdn Bhd (APMC).
This follows a three-member Federal Court bench unanimously dismissing the monastery’s bid for leave to challenge the eviction, rendering a Court of Appeal decision made last Sept 5 valid.

Monastery filed suit last month to nullify extension
Despite Wednesday’s decision, the monastery had last month filed a writ and statement of claim at the Ipoh High Court, to seek a declaration to nullify a 30-year extension of a land lease in the area to APMC where the administrators of the temple named the Perak Land and Mines Department and APMC as defendants
It claimed that the declaration that the extension of the lease registered vide presentation No 1213/2020 on April 29, 2020 is null and void, and an order that the department cancel the entry or memorial in the register of titles.
