Zakaria faces council action on satay restaurant

KLANG: Port Klang state assemblyman Datuk Zakaria Md Deros’ troubles are far from over.

Klang Municipal Council (MPK) president Abdul Bakir Zin said appropriate action would be taken against him soon for building his DZ Satay House illegally on state land.

“The land office is preparing a notice to be served on Zakaria and action will be taken under the National Land Code,” he said.

However, Abdul Bakir could not say if the notice would require Zakaria to tear down the structure.

He added that Zakaria, a former MPK councillor, had yet to submit the building plans for his palatial home in Kg Idaman, Pandamaran, to MPK for approval.

Abdul Bakir added that Zakaria had also not settled the RM24,000 fine imposed on him for having illegally constructed his mansion

Fellow MPK councillor Mazlynoor Abdul Latiff, who had committed the same offence, had submitted his plans for approval, said Abdul Bakir.

Umno Youth chief Faizal Abdullah was the other MPK councillor found to have built his home without approval.
