歷史悠久的廣東義山搬遷風波，始於政府宣佈要求這個處於吉隆坡中心地的義山遷移其他地區，而原有的義山地段則作為發展用途，當時引起大眾人士的軒然大波。這項義山搬遷風波較後演變至牽涉各會館、華團等組織，紛紛被迫表態贊成或反對搬遷，其中一些會館甚至被指秘密簽署贊成搬遷的秘密文件。
當時，吉隆坡廣東義山與華社的立場堅不可摧，步伐一致反對搬遷，加上朝野政黨和媒體輿論的支援，才化解了搬遷的危機。最後內閣抵不過華社的力量，終宣佈廣東義山不搬遷，才使得這場風波告一段落。
 
在這場義山搬遷風波上，雪隆廣肇會館一至都保持鮮明的立場，即堅決反對廣東義山搬遷。就此，本會曾盡所能維護義山的地位，如今，廣東義山屹立不倒，雪隆廣肇會館的功勞絕不容忽視。

A significant event - Strong opposition to the relocation of Kwong Tong Cemetery Kuala Lumpur to another location

An attempt to relocate the long established century old Kwong Tong Cemetery began with the government announcement that the Cemetery which is presently located in the old airport road (Jalan Lapangan Terbang) Kuala Lumpur would be relocated to another location outside of Kuala Lumpur. The land that is used as a burial ground by the Chinese for over a century would be developed for commercial purposes. The announcement led to an uproar in the Chinese community that involved many Chinese clan associations, as well as other non-government organizations protesting strongly over the decision. All of them had been forced to express their stand - whether to agree or disagree to the relocation. Some clan associations had been accused of having secretly agreed in writing to shift a portion of their burial cemetery area.

At that time Kwong Tong Cemetery Management Committee Kuala Lumpur as well as many other Chinese clan organizations objected very strongly against the cemetery relocation plan. They were supported by certain political parties from the ruling government as well as the opposition. It generated a lot public awareness and anger from the Chinese community and views were also expressed by various Chinese newspapers. This widespread support and opposition from the public to the government development plans to relocate the cemetery gave some relief to the anxiety and worry of the Chinese people - who had to deal with their ancestors buried in those cemeteries and also the exhumation of bodies during the relocation exercise. Finally the cabinet relented and announced that the Kwong Tong Cemetery Kuala Lumpur and the other racial and religious groups could use the cemeteries in Jalan Lapangan Terbang area and they would not be relocated.

Selangor & Federal Territory Kwong Siew association had taken an early initiative and played an active part in opposing strongly the relocation plan. Our position had always been firm – that Kwong Tong Cemetery Kuala Lumpur burial sites should NOT be relocated at all. A great job by our association as well as the other adjoining cemeteries whose ancestral burial sites had been there for over a century.
