FMT ALERT KUALA LUMPUR: The Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has made a new offer to the 41 families in Bukit Jalil, whose houses have been slated for demolition.
The residents have requested for time in order to consider the new offer, which allows them to purchase a RM80,000 house for RM35,000.
DBKL, which insists that the residents are squatters, has given them three days to decide. The demolition exercise has been postponed till then.
Yesterday, the residents vowed to put up a fight if the DBKL demolition team moved in, saying that even the presence of anti-riot police personnel will not deter them.
This morning, the residents brought in backhoes to block the road leading to the former estate to stop DBKL's bulldozers.
Some 300 people, including NGO and opposition party representatives, had gathered at the enterance of the former estate.
