Komtar assemblyman Teh Lai Heng, also the Chief Minister’s political secretary, said if the developer followed MBPP guidelines and the project had been approved, then it should be okay for it to proceed with its building plans.

“All projects must follow guidelines and if the owner is willing to appreciate the structure and heritage aspect and preserve the façade, then it would be great,” he said.

When asked about the narrow roads and the issues that may arise from having a 27-storey building there, Teh said every project would have a traffic impact assessment before it was carried out.

“If the council approves it, it means it has followed the guidelines,” he said.

MBPP mayor Datuk Yew Tung Seang could not be reached for comment.
