Batu Kawa–Rantau Panjang Road Stays Open as Land Talks Begin
-
The Batu Kawa–Rantau Panjang road will remain open while land acquisition talks get underway.
Formal discussions on land acquisition and compensation have started between the landowner and the authorities over a disputed parcel used by the public road linking Batu Kawa Old Town and Rantau Panjang.
The landowner agreed not to block the route for now after authorities asked for public access to continue and road safety to be protected. The dispute centres on a claim that part of private land was used by the Public Works Department (JKR) for road and other public infrastructure.
Batu Kawa Chung Hua Association chairman Lim Ah Ted urged all sides to settle the matter through legal and administrative channels. He said public roads should remain accessible and unilateral blockades should be avoided.
A target date or project announcement is not the same as an open road or operating facility. Until an official opening or traffic notice is issued, residents should keep using the current arrangements and watch for the next construction or approval milestone.
