Why is 263 acres of Jalan Duta at the centre of a RM13 billion fight?

263 acres in Jalan Duta.

A dispute that started before Merdeka.

And calculations that have gone as high as RM13.2 billion.

This is the story of the Duta Enclave — a land case Malaysia has been fighting for around 70 years, and one that could still end with a very big compensation bill.
