00:01The Tamantun Dr. Ismayo Residents Association has voiced strong objections to a proposed annex linked to the nearby Royal Selangor Club.
00:11According to the group, a company identified as GPL, the slot machine operator at the RSC, submitted plans to Kuala Lumpur City Hall on March 10 for the proposed facility.
00:22The 0.5-acre facility would include a bar, restaurant, pickleball courts, and slot machine or gaming room for non-Muslim RSC members.
00:34RSC currently operates a sports annex in Bukit Kiara, while its main clubhouse is the historic Colonial Era building at Tatara Murteca.
00:42The residents questioned the logic of placing a gaming operation so close to a residential neighborhood, law enforcement quarters, and a religious institution.
00:53RA spokesman Khairuddin Rahim said the residents wrote to KL Mayor Maimouna Sharif and the Executive Director of Planning, Sukarnai Hassan, on June 16 to formally object to the application.
