The long-standing Semantan Estate (1952) Sdn Bhd dispute with the government could bring into question the issue of the rule of law in the country, as what the company and its liquidators possess is a judicial order by the High Court, and affirmed by the Federal Court, that leaves no doubt that the taking and occupation of the 263.272-acre prime Kuala Lumpur land known as the ‘Duta enclave’ is unlawful, but the matter had yet to be rectified, said the lawyers for the company.
