Branch chairman Heng Kai Hiyong had lodged the report on Dec 11, claiming that the office premises in Batu Caves near here had its lock changed, the MCA signboard removed, the building repainted and the pictures within replaced.
Selayang MCA Division chairman Datuk Tang See Hang, who broke the lock Friday, said Heng noticed the change when he came to the premises at about 8pm on Dec 8.
He said the building was put up with donations from MCA members and the public and was used as the MCA office and a hall was used for party and social activities as well as for student activities on Sundays.
Tang said he had also referred the incident to the Selayang Municipal Council president Zainal Abidin Azim.
“As we have all the documents pertaining to the building, the municipal council president said no one else could take over the premises,” he said.
Tang said none of the items within the premises was missing but the pictures on the walls had been replaced with pictures of activities conducted by the trespassers.
“All the tables, chairs, a karaoke set, the PA system, air conditioner, steel cabinets and small items are safe,” he said.
“We have lodged a police report and our lawyers are handling the case. What happened was something illegal because anyone who had wanted to use our hall should have sought our permission,” he said. -- Bernama
