Amirudin acknowledged the difficulties faced by commercial property owners in extending leases, due to the high premium which is based on current market value, especially in areas like the older part of Petaling Jaya.“Any policy implemented will set a precedent, so we must proceed carefully,” he said in response to Dusun Tua assemblyman Datuk Johan Abd Aziz during the recent Selangor State Assembly sitting.

“I simply cannot afford to pay within six months or even if they give me an extension,” said a shophouse owner who did not want to be identified.The extended lease would start from the year it was renewed and not when it was due to expire. Tee King Koon, 76, has been renting his property on Jalan Othman to a bank. His lease is due to expire in three years.“I am currently gathering information before making a decision,” he said.
