00:075,000 ringgit or emulate Penang by offering discounts of up to 80% to extend leasehold

00:12titles for commercial properties.

00:15This is after shop owners in Petaling Jaya Old Town were asked to fork out almost 1 million

00:19ringgit to extend the 60-year leases of commercial properties.

00:24HBA Secretary General Chang Kim Lung, who is representing the shop owners, said his

00:29immediate priority is to ensure they get their lease extended at an affordable price

00:33given that some are expiring at the year-end.

00:37Selangor Metribasar Amiruddin Shahri said his government is looking at ways to make

00:41lease extensions more affordable, especially for commercial properties, adding that the

00:45matter will be referred to the Selangor Land Office.

00:49But the ultimate goal, Chang said, is for leasehold land in PJ to be converted to freehold

00:55based on the area's original land title.

00:58The land that PJ stands on now used to be a rubber plantation that belonged to Effingham

01:02estate, said Chang, and the original title was freehold.
