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.
Forty years of dispute over squatter land rights in Perak have finally been resolved, with 120 families receiving official land grants, according to reports. Housing and local government minister Nga Kor Ming presented the land grants to recipients at a dinner hosted by the Sungkai DAP state constituency division, attended by over 1,200 guests from various backgrounds.
The minister emphasized that the government's priority lies in the wellbeing of all its citizens, irrespective of race or social status. He also praised the efforts of Sungkai assemblyman A Sivanesan and the hard work of civil servants who helped resolve the issue. Minister Nga highlighted the government's commitment to supporting the Indian community through initiatives such as RM20 million for Indian settlements, RM50 million for Tamil vernacular schools, and an additional RM150 million allocation for the Malaysian Indian Transformation Unit.
He called on the public to evaluate the government's performance based on its actual achievements rather than letting racial sentiments cloud their judgment.
