A meeting was held between Dr Tan Seng Giaw (MP of Kepong) and some 30 residents from Taman Kepong on December 7 at Jalan Dua, Taman Kepong regarding the land title issue.
Dr Tan informed that he had spoken to the Minister of Federal Territories and Urban Well-being who also promised to look into the complaints raised by residents of Taman Kepong. This issue of "Hakmilik Sementara" only came to light recently when the son of the residents noticed that there is the word "Sementara" (or Temporary) on the title.
Dr Tan said he will continue to press the Government to expedite the processing of the land title. "We can expect this issue to drag for some time," he said. "The most important thing is that residents have to be united to continue pushing the Government to fulfill its responsibility to the people."
A protem committee was being set up by the residents to look into the issue. Its first meeting will be held on December 18 to discuss the next course of action.
