OWNERS of the 239 houses acquired by Besraya (M) Sdn Bhd about 10 years ago want the highway concessionaire to fulfil its written promises made at the time.
The owners were promised that each would be offered a low-cost flat unit developed by then landowner KWSP at RM25,000, as well as a RM300 rental allowance for 30 months and a one-off moving allowance of RM1,000.
The 1997 economic crisis stalled the low-cost
housing project near the Sungai Besi Turf Club but the concessionaire
continued to provide the rental allowance after the 30-month period but
only upon request.
YTL took over the project to build five blocks of low-cost flats with 1,300 units and the project is now 70% complete.
“If we do not ask for the units now, we will never be able to get them
as applications for the units have started to pour in since March,”
said MCA Seputeh chairman Dr Sua Chong Keh who met with some of the
house owners at his service centre recently.
He added that Besraya should keep its word, as it was their social obligation.
“These house owners are being treated unfairly. Those in Serdang have
already been compensated but why aren’t the house owners here getting
what they were promised?” asked Dr Sua.
