Buah Pala in the making in PJS 1 Indian Settlement, Selangor. HRP backing Indian settlers.

buah pala 1 Buah Pala in the making in PJS 1 Indian Settlement, Selangor. HRP backing Indian settlers.
Despite not having solved the housing resettlement problems of the ethnic minority Indians in PJS 1, Petaling Jaya, Selangor, the PKR led Selangor state government has last month transferred the land to the Federal government.
In return for a paltry sum of RM 10,000, the Indian urban settlers therein were told to move out to make may for development. The residents on HRP’s advise have rejected this offer and are demanding low cost homes and RM 500 per month for rentals until the new flats are built for them. They are not prepared to move out as some two hundred of their former below settlers who had on the previous UMNO government’s false promises moved out but 16 years down the line they are yet to get their low cost flats.
Had these Indians been Malays they would most likely not be classified as squatters but settlers and would have 30 years ago been granted land titles by UMNO and today they would be paid RM 4 million each like the Kg. Baru squatters turned land owners, turned millionaires.
