Despite the eviction notices, the residents of Jinjang Selatan Tambahan (JST) does not plan on accepting any relocation offer until the authorities has answered their questions, reported The Star.
In a letter addressed to Kuala Lumpur mayor Datuk Seri Mohd Amin Nordin Abdul Aziz and to Federal Territories Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor, the residents demanded answers to 21 questions including when the housing project in which they would move into would start and be completed, the developers’ financial status as well as a request for a transit home prior to the completion of the project.
Ameer Khan Bargathalli, secretary of the JST Permanent Housing Resolution Committee, noted that the residents should have been made to sign a sales and purchase agreement if the offer was serious.
“This will give us the confidence that the units will be built in the given time frame. We have already waited for almost 50 years when we were only supposed to stay here for less than five years,” he said.
“What happens if the developers are not able to complete the project, then we will be stuck again.”
Notably, around 107 households are being forcibly evicted from Lot 9714 of JST.
This comes as the lot, which features over 500 homes built under temporary occupancy licence in 1969, have been earmarked in 2013 for a joint venture mixed development project between developer Zil Land Sdn Bhd and DBKL.
Zil Land offered first generation households with a free 900 sq ft unit, RM1,000 shifting allowance and a monthly rental allowance of RM700 until the completion of their houses.
The second generation households, on the other hand, were offered with RM3,000 rental allowance. They will also be given priority for an 800 sq ft affordable housing costing RM200,000.
According to Ameer Khan, Tengku Adnan had increased the size of the housing unit for the first generation to 1,000 sq ft.
“So, which is true? How can we trust them when there is a flip flop in the conditions.”
