Family says goodbye to century-old house after court dismisses final appeal
A Malaysian family has lost their final legal appeal to save their 106-year-old ancestral home in Rawang from demolition. Despite decades of effort to secure the land, the court ruled the family has no legal rights to the property.
Why it matters
The case highlights the vulnerability of historical properties and long-term residents against land development and complex property rights in Malaysia.
The 106-year-old bungalow in Rawang was built in 1920 by Berjuntai Tin Dredging Bhd, which held a mining lease for the area at the time.
