The Block E residents action committee of PJS1 is threatening to march to the Selangor state secretariat on July 3 if the MB does not meet them soon.
PETALING JAYA: The Block E residents action committee today threatened to march to the Selangor menteri besar’s office on July 3 if the latter fails to meet them over their house demands.
The action committee chairman M Sugumaran said that the state government had stalled in building their low cost homes despite promises made since 2010.
“I congratulate Abdul Khalid Ibrahim (Selangor menteri besar) for retaining the state. Since you won with a bigger majority, I’m sure you can solve our problems once and for all,” he said.
Sugumaran said that he had already submitted a letter to the menteri besar’s office on Monday to request for a meeting, or risk having nearly 100 house buyers marching to the state secretariat office.
In 2003, developer Peter Brickworks Sdn Bhd promised to about 200 residents at the squatter area at Petaling Jaya Selatan 1 (PJS1) to build low cost homes for them.
Although the developer built four storeys of the low cost homes, it reneged on its promise to build the fifth block, known as Block E, leaving the residents in a lurch.
Three years ago, the Selangor state government announced that it will build the houses for them but to date nothing has come forth.
Upset with the delays, Sugumaran criticised the Petaling Jaya City Hall (MBPJ) and accused them of being responsible over the delays.
He said that despite sending several memorandum to the state government and the MBPJ, both bodies could not reach consensus on how to resolve the housebuyers’ problems.
“Whenever Khalid promises us something, the MBPJ tells us something else. This flip flop between the state government and the local council had left us in this predicament.
“Since both the governments cannot agree on a solution, we have no choice but take this drastic measure,” said Sugumaran.
