The settlers want the Sepang District and Land Office to give them land ownership as promised 36 years ago.
Kampung Sri Tanjung Land Action Committee representative K. Vivekanathan, 56, said the settlers were among the 132 people recruited by Malaysian Association of Youth Clubs for the Cash Crop Project by the then Rural Development, Culture, Youth and Sports Ministry in 1988.
“However, many faced challenges developing the land because of frequent floods and there was no proper road access,” he added.Vivekanathan wants the government to process the land ownership for the settlers’ plots. Vivekanathan said 48 settlers initiated legal action against Selangor government, the Mentri Besar and Sepang District Officer but lost in 2011.“The Sepang District and Land Office informed us that the reserve land status had been removed from Kampung Sri Tanjung,” he said.
