重点报道：Highland Towers重建，可能吗？
Highland Towers自1993年12月的土崩惨案后，就被荒废至今，更一度成为瘾君子与鼠辈的藏身之地，与当年的荣景相比，实在不胜唏嘘。 多年以来，当地居民不断吁请政府将荒废建筑拆除，以重新发展这个地段，无奈却是只听楼梯响，不见人下来。 随着新任房政部长Zuraida Kamaruddin上任，并且将Highland Towers地段重建纳入她的计划中。被人遗忘的Highland Towers顿时重回镁光灯下，未来发展更是备受瞩目。 位于Ulu Kelang的Highland Towers，土地面积约为15英亩，为永久地契地段，且距离吉隆坡市中心约8公里距离，周围居民多为高收入阶层，且毗邻各类便捷设施与高速公路，堪称难以多得的黄金地段。 马来西亚Knight Frank资本市场执行董事Allan Sim表示，重建计划一旦成行，势必将可令当地社区受益，在遏止不法之徒藏身造案之余，也可以为25年前的惨剧划下句点，让经历惨案悲痛的人们随着重建计划重新出发。 当地一名匿名居民Marshall在Highland Towers临近的Taman Hillview居住超过30年，见证了这座高档公寓的兴衰。他相信，在政府的带领下，重建计划将可恢复人们对于这个Ulu Kelang的信心。 他说：“荒废的公寓大楼对当地居民来说是心中的痛。Sri Ukay Hillview居民委员会尝试与当地的国市会议员接洽，希望可以引起官方关注，重建公寓用地，但是始终没有进展，如今新任部长重提这件事，我们真的希望可以看到这里重新发展起来，” The One Property International Sdn Bhd 联合创办人与执行董事Stephen Yew指出，改变人们对于该区的刻板印象，将会是重建计划的最大挑战，不仅是1993年的惨剧，2008年Bukit Antarabangsa东边的一个住宅区（距离Highland Towers两公里处）发生的另一宗土崩事件，也让人对这一带的土地结构存疑。 房价依然逐年扬升 即便人们对于该处依然存有刻板印象，但多年以来，Highland Towers周遭的房地产价格其实都稳健扬升，即使增幅不及吉隆坡市中心，但依然逐年走高。 Marshall说：“特别是在围篱保安社区，房价增幅更为显著。支撑房价扬升的原因包括优美的绿景居住环境，以及毗邻吉隆坡市中心。“ EdgeProp.
