Cemetery of historical Chinese kapitans in jeopardy


A major draw at the Kwong Tong cemetery is the grave of Kapitan Yap Ah Loy.

THE Kwong Tong Cemetery in Kuala Lumpur may lose its heritage status if the proposed city centre boundary is redrawn according to the 2040 Kuala Lumpur Structure Plan, reported Sin Chew Daily.

In the exclusive report, the daily quoted an expert in transportation planning Wu Muyan, who said the plan had proposed an expansion of 861ha south of the present boundary, which will then include the land in which the cemetery sits on.
