THE Selangor government has initiated its own investigations into the Kampung Perepat land-grab issue.
A spokesman from the Menteri Besar’s office revealed that officers had started gathering information on the matter.
KHALID: Had promised earlier that illegal structures would be demolished
“The officers have requested for, among others, files from all the involved parties and are going through them. Once this is done, the State government would proceed with the next course of action,” she said.
It was learnt that the State has given the Klang Land Office, which had transferred plots of Temporary Occupation Licences (TOL) land in Kapar to a Datuk, his relatives and business associates, one week to submit related files on Kampung Perepat.
Pioneers of the Kampung Perepat Green Revolution programme, who had been allegedly displaced by the action, have been requested to submit related documents on the issue to the State government.
“The State views this matter seriously and we promise a fair and honest investigation,” the spokesman said.
Last Friday, Malay Mail had front-paged a report on the 17 families who had yet to get back the plots despite the Selangor government admitting in 2005 that the Klang Land Office had erred in transferring the titles to the Datuk, his family members and friends.
The State government had also, in April the same year, revoked the titles awarded to them.However, our checks revealed that the plots were still under their names.
Terrace houses and a bungalow stand on the land meant for agricultural use. A small stream is channelled to a lake with water lilies within the bungalow’s compound. The Klang Municipal Council had since confirmed that the structures were illegal. Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim had also promised that the structures would be demolished.
Kapar MP S. Manikavasagam, who is assisting the Kampung Perepat pioneers, lodged a complaint with the Malaysian Anti- Corruption Commission (MACC) last Friday, the fifth since 2003
