The Chief Minister’s Office said the agreement, dated October 4, 2017, expired on October 3 and a termination notice was sent to the company today after it failed to complete the 246.45-hectare project.

“The company is also required to return the project site, effective upon the termination notice issued by the state government.

“Therefore, all matters arising regarding the Melaka Gateway project site should be directly communicated with the Melaka state government,” it said in a statement.
