40-year squatter issue settled, 120 Perak families get land grants
Housing and local government minister Nga Kor Ming says resolution of the issue was proof the government prioritises the wellbeing of the people, regardless of racial background.
A settlement dispute that had endured for over four decades has now been resolved, with 120 squatter families in Perak receiving land grants. Housing and local government minister Nga Kor Ming announced the resolution, emphasizing the government's unwavering commitment to the welfare of all citizens irrespective of their race or social status, as reported by Bernama.
The DAP national deputy chairman personally presented the land grants to the recipients at a dinner hosted by the Sungkai DAP state constituency division, which drew an audience of more than 1,200 guests from diverse backgrounds. Minister Nga also extended his gratitude to Sungkai assemblyman A Sivanesan, the state human resources, health, Indian community affairs, and national integration committee chairman, as well as all dedicated civil servants who contributed to the successful resolution of the issue.
Minister Nga highlighted the government's commitment to the Indian community through various initiatives, including an allocation of RM20 million for Indian settlements, RM50 million for Tamil vernacular schools, and a substantial increase in funding for the Malaysian Indian Transformation Unit to RM150 million. He urged the public to evaluate the government's genuine performance and achievements, rather than allowing racial sentiments to cloud their judgment.
