‘If you can’t solve, we’ll throw you out’

Residents of Kampung KTM Railway Line in Sungai Buloh want Selangor MB to issue solve their 20-year-old housing problem swiftly.



SHAH ALAM: About 25 former residents of the Kampung KTM Railway Line in Sungai Buloh arrived at the Selangor state secretariat (SUK) yesterday to compel menteri besar, Abdul Khalid Ibrahim to give them plots of land promised by the state government in 1992.

The group, which arrived at about 9am, was led by 61-year-old S Muniandy.

Speaking at a press conference later, Muniandy said that 229 families of the former railway line residents were promised plots of land by the then menteri besar Muhammad Muhammad Taib, before being asked to move to longhouses in Rawang.

“The then state government told us that it was a six months transition period. Twenty years have passed but we have not seen our lands yet,” said Muniandy.

After waiting at the SUK for about four hours, Selangor exco for housing Iskandar Abdul Samad met the residents and promised to get them a meeting with Khalid on March 29.

Disappointed by Khalid’s absence, Muniandy accused the current Pakatan Rakyat state government of being no different from the previous administration.

“We will not give up. We will change the MB if Khalid fails to resolve our woes,” said Muniandy.
