    I can understand your question Jay - but an exact replica?
    How is it possible to replicate the feel, the smell, the atmosphere, the 'soul' of a house. The pictures below of the interior of Pykett House evoke those things and a way of being ...See more

    Marion Olsen Perhaps that is why it must be replicated - to at least evoke that period?

    Jay Sharma Thank you Marion for your thoughtful response to my rather unfocused intervention. I offer two examples where buildings have been moved, both on a fairly large scale. I have visited both and though impressed by the efforts of the curators, I felt rather sad that the buildings were there without surrounding context.

    Jay Sharma No-lah! To say 'an interesting option' doesn't mean 'that's the one!' as you well know! That's where I've been away too long: excessive use of irony obfuscates ...but please don't go, it's horrid there!

    In NZ many wooden houses have been moved - but brick by brick removals are another order altogether. Moving houses may be one way to stop the traffic!! Penang traffic and house moving are incompatible I think. However, thought could be give...See more

    Rebecca Wilkinson The order to rebuild is about being a deterrent to developers just going ahead to illegally demolish. This issue here at the moment is not whether something should or should not be replicated ...rather...what are the deterrents & at the moment the 'rebuild' order is the best we have....& the developers should be forced to do this to the highest standard as soon as possible.

    Jay Sharma Understood Rebecca. The fine imposed by the court was so small compared to the size of the development (was is RM6k and RM50mil?) that it could be seem to be 'judicial encouragement'!
    Would a rebuild mean that nothing else could be built on the site?

    Citizen Chant rebuilding the bungalow is possible even without drawings. We are able to propose experts to MPPP and rebuild can be done and supervise by the consultants.Well who is to remunerate the construction and experts, its all stated very clearly in the Town & Country Planning Act. Thank you.
