Change in KL Tower operator legal, not about taking sides: Fahmi refutes Muhyiddin

KL Tower is fully owned by the government and eviction notices issued to previous concessionaire was within bounds of law, says Communications Minister

KUALA LUMPUR — The government is not taking sides in the dispute over the concession takeover of the Kuala Lumpur Tower (KL Tower), said Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil.

The unity government spokesperson said the eviction notice issued by the Federal Land Commissioner to the previous concessionaire should not be seen as an act of oppression, but a lawful procedure grounded in legal principles.

He said that the matter is currently undergoing legal proceedings in court, and urged all parties to allow due process to take its course.

“The actions taken are in accordance with the rule of law as enshrined in the Federal Constitution,” Bernama reported him saying.

“KL Tower is fully owned by the government, and the Federal Land Commissioner acts within the bounds of the law in light of several pertinent issues,” he told reporters after visiting the National Information Dissemination Centre (NADI) at Taman Sri Skudai in Johor today.

Fahmi said this in response to questions regarding the government’s decision, through his ministry, to temporarily close KL Tower to allow the new management to carry out necessary maintenance and upgrades to ensure the safety and comfort of visitors.

Perikatan Nasional chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin had recently claimed that the government appeared to be taking sides in the dispute between two companies to manage KL Tower.

Fahmi’s ministry had previously announced that the the new concessionaire, LSH Service Master Sdn Bhd (LSHSM) had been appointed effective April 1, to take over the operations, management, and maintenance of KL Tower.

Two eviction notices had been issued by the Federal Land Commissioner to MKLSB via letters dated April 3 and 9. 

MKLSB and its parent company Hydroshoppe Sdn Bhd, meanwhile, have initiated a lawsuit to challenge the concession awarded to LSHSM, claiming a breach of contract. – April 21, 2025
