S'gor residential lease holders to titles automatically renewed: PM

PORT KLANG- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak announced additions to Selangor Barisan Nasional's election manifesto in which all residential lease holders in the state will have their lease titles automatically renewed upon expiry.

He also said there will be discounted premium for lease hold extension for low and medium cost houses.

Najib made the announcement during a record breaking mammoth dinner with 60,000 people at an open space at Westport in Port Klang tonight.

Celebrities such as actress Datuk Michelle Yeoh and badminton champ Datuk Lee Chong Wei were among those present at the event organised by Chinese community NGOs.

Najib also impressed the crowd with his Mandarin words and urged them to give BN a strong mandate and for him to continue being their "shio siang" or prime minister.

He said the BN government is doing much more for the Chinese with its education policies and other matters.

He said the education ministry has set up Sekolah Menengah Chung Hwa in Kuantan, while 71 SJKCs are being relocates to new areas. " one plot of land that was supposed to be for a national school would be used to build SJKC Sungai Long in Kajang instead."
