This morning we received an SOS phone call from a supporter that the DBKL may demolish the malay muslim Kg. Kerinchi PKNS flats in Kg Kerinchi to make the way for redevelopment and with there being no proper compensation and terms and conditions in writing by the authorities.
Our Mr. P.Uthayakumar within one hour’s notice rushed to the scence, met the PKNS flat owners, then went through their Sales and Purchase Agreement, Deed of Assignment and the proposed MOU proposed to some of the residents by the developer (see photos below).We could not establish any reason for their forced eviction as the owners of these PKNS flats seem to have valid Sales and Purchase Agreement and equitable titles thereto as they are still waiting for their Strata Titles. These owners cannot be evicted for redevelopement even if one owner objects to the same, subject however to a Court Order. This was accordingly conveyed to the said residents by Mr. P. Utahayakumar. Also present was Y.B. Nurul Izzah, the Member of Parliament for Lembah Pantai who also addressed the auxious PKNS owners. Y.B. Nurul announced that she would be following up with the relevant authorities on Friday. A draft letter was discussed at the our HRP office this afternoon wherein we also advised an urgent search to be conducted on the said property titles.
But our wonder is why is the Kuala Lumpur City Hall and the UMNO authorities are appearing to be in collusion with the Developer and hurriedly forcing the owners out of their flats. There was a notable heavy DBKL enforcement and police presence this morning. This is especially so when the Federal Territories Minister Y.B. Raja Nong Chik had made a recent statement in Sinar Harian that the K.L. City Hall would not interfere but would only facilitate the granting of temporary flats until their property has been redeveloped within three years time.
