民政党峇都区部同人走访了冼都朱巴达一间观音亭，与该庙宇负责人会面，以了解他们目前所面对的问题。
参与活动的峇都区民政党服务中心协调员刘华才博士指出，这间观音亭遭庙宇后面的邻居投诉指庙宇膜拜的声量大，尤其遇到一些节日庆祝活动时更为严重，干扰了住家安宁。另外，庙宇也被指扩建而占据后巷的范围，令居民大感不满。对此，投诉者基于住宅区不应该有庙宇的理由，而向吉隆坡市政局提呈投诉。吉隆坡市政局也因此取缔这间观音亭，下令他们停止所有的膜拜活动。庙宇负责人因此忧心忡忡，寻求民政党峇都区部的协助，以商讨解决对策。
"根据了解，这间观音亭已在该地区存在超过了45年，令人不解的是，为何居民们现在才来提出投诉，要求这间庙宇搬迁。"刘华才表示。
"基于这间观音亭在当地存在已久，已经有固定的信徒，也是当地信徒膜拜的好去处。民政党峇都区在隔天就带同庙宇理事们前往吉隆坡市政局会见相关官员，以寻求对策，协助将该观音亭的建筑物从住宅转换为庙宇的可行性，让这所观音亭可以继续获得保留。"刘华才补充。
刘华才博士也补充，民政党将持续服务峇都国会选区的居民，并解决他们的民生问题和提高他们的生活素质。
Kuan Yin Temple in Chubadak, Sentul ordered to stop its worshipping activities after complaints were lodged against it
Gerakan promises to meet with DBKL and look for a solution
Press statement by Batu Gerakan Service Centre Coordinator
Dr. Dominic Lau Hoe Chai
31 December 2012
Members of Gerakan Batu Division have visited the Kuan Yin Temple in Chubadak, Sentul in order to meet with the person in charge of the temple and to have a grasp of the problems that they are facing currently.
Batu Gerakan Service Centre Coordinator Dr. Dominic Lau Hoe Chai who joined the visitation said that the Kuan Yin Temple has been complained by its neighbours that live behind saying that the worshipping of the temple was very loud, the situation was worse especially during its celebration activities in conjunction with some of the religious festivals that disrupted the tranquillity of the neighbourhood. Besides, the temple has also been accused of unlawful expansion that occupies the back alley which is upsetting the residents. In this regard, the complainant has lodged a complaint to the DBKL by arguing that there should be no temple within the neighbourhood. DBKL has since acted against the Kuan Yin Temple by ordering them to stop all worshipping activities. The person in charge of the temple is so worried and seeks the help from Gerakan Batu Division to discuss for a solution.
"It is understood that the Kuan Yin Temple has been there for over 45 years, it is puzzling that why the residents only came out and lodged their complaints by now to demand that the temple be removed from the place," said Dr. Dominic Lau.
"Since the Kuan Yin Temple has been there for long, has a steady number of devotees and also it is a good place for religious worshipping. The next day, Gerakan Batu Division has brought the committee members of the temple to meet the relevant officers at the DBKL office in order to come out with a solution by looking into the possibility of turning the temple from a residence to a temple, so that the Kuan Yin Temple would be able to be preserved," said Dr. Dominic Lau.
Dr. Dominic Lau also added that Gerakan would continue to serve the residents of Batu parliamentary constituency, solve their livelihood problems and improve their quality of life.
