Istana Khir/ Khir Toyo's Palace (Shah Alam)

Malaysia / Selangor / Shah Alam / Jalan Suasa 7/1L
The controversial palatial residence of Dr Mohd Khir Toyo, the former Chief Minister of the Selangor state.

DAP’s Ng See Lim on July 6, 2009 revealed documents which allegedly confirms allegations which first surfaced over the Internet months ago that Dr Khir owns the mansion on Jalan Suasa 7/1L in Shah Alam, that costs upwards of more than RM23 million. He said the resort-like home of the former mentri besar had been built on two plots of land measuring over 50,000 sq ft or 1.17 acres, dwarfing the infamous Istana Zakaria built by the late Port Klang assemblyman Datuk Zakaria Md Deros.

In his rebuttal, Khir Toyo said he took a RM3.5 million loan to buy a sprawling Balinese-style mansion in an exclusive neighbourhood, brushing off allegations that the property is valued at RM24 million. He has threatened to sue Sekinchan Assemblyman Ng Swee Lim for making the claim, pointing out that HSBC would not have approved the loan if it was not above board and also countered claims that he could not afford to purchase the house on what he was being paid as mentri besar at the time.

Ng continued focusing his attacks on Khir’s finances, and argued that it was also not possible for the Khir to afford the RM3.5 million loan he claimed to have taken from HSBC to buy the mansion. He alleged that Dr Mohd Khir would have to pay RM16,000 a month to service the loan, while his allowance as opposition leader was just over RM8,000 a month. Khir explained that he was able to pay the housing loans as his side income as a dentist was high because he not only specialised in dentistry but also specialised in cosmetic dentistry and that the cost of a dental implant was anything between RM40,000 to RM50,000. This was however disputed by PR assemblyman and state executive council member Dr Xavier Jeyakumar who said there was no way Dr Mohd Khir could have been practising dentistry legally while still the mentri besar. He had made checks with the Malaysian Dental Association showing that Khir did not have a licence to practise during the eight years while he was mentri besar and only just renewed his licence. When Dr. Khir was a Menteri Besar he earn about RM48,000 per month. Before he was a Menteri Besar he earned about RM60,000 a month as a dentist. After 2007, he own a few business which include a dentistry clinic and a pharmacy.

  • DAH SUAP KAO-KAO TENTULAH BESAR, 350K KONON!
  • It's not a house, it's a MANSION!!
  • So there is the pretty RM290k Balinese gate!! If Mr. K said he paid only RM3.5 million to buy this RM24 million worth mansion; and he is expanding the business well so that he can afford the loan -- then you can see how good is to be a politician, especially part of the BN.
  • the owner of this mansion used to be Zakariah's boss. If Zakariah owned a palace, why can he get a better/bigger one for himself? If Zakariah palace can be the Shah Alam tourist point, I think this can be the mini Bali in Malaysia! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohamed_Khir_Toyo http://mt.m2day.org/2008/content/view/24089/84/
  • this is not house or mansion, stupid! It is a ISTANA !!! Hantu Toyol is a King !! Daulat Tuanku !!
  • And what have our dear Badan Pencegah Rasuah doing?previously menteri besar selangor only provide some cows for those kampung resident, they already said it is a type of corruption, then how about this one? why BPR so quiet this time?
