Lost in translation: It’s SHTDA, not Central Board says Heritage Sabah group

Press Release

Heritage Sabah group has identified and apologized for an oversight in its press release yesterday that suggests the Central Board was responsible for the upkeep of the clock tower area.

“Wordings in our published press release yesterday had unintentionally suggested that the Central Board was responsible for the upkeep of the land around the clock tower and that the Board had RM50 million in its coffers. It is actually SHTDA (Sabah Housing and Town Development Authority) or more popularly known by its BM name LPPB (Lembaga Perancangan Pembangunan Bandar) who is the actual land owner and possessing this substantial amount of money, and not the Central Board that is currently reassessing the 16-storey shopping mall proposal’, says group spokesperson Richard Nelson Sokial.

“However, we stand by our statement urging the state government to scrap the 16-storey commercial development next to the historic clock tower,” he said.
