民政党峇都区部于昨日(11月19日) 在峇都区民政党服务中心协调员刘华才博士的率领下，再次会见冼都甘榜石马木屋区的25户人家，针对他们收到地主发出的庭令，要他们在11月30日前搬离有关地区一事，向居民汇报民政党峇都区部对有关事件跟进的发展。
刘华才博士指出，民政党峇都区已针对此事分别与吉隆坡市长和联邦直辖区与城市和谐部副部长会面商讨，而得到的结论是位于私人土地的木屋区一旦遭地主下驱逐令，则须由发展商作出适当的赔偿，政府是不会提供人民组屋给受逼迁影响的居民。虽然居民们了解政府的政策，但仍然要求隆市政局能从他们自2007年就开始申请人民组屋的角度来批准他们的申请。
"基于这25户人家都属于贫苦家庭，多以劳工为生，在当地居住了50多年，更是合法的马来西亚公民，可是在申请人民组屋5年后仍无音讯。当务之急，民政党峇都区部希望隆市政局可以网开一面，并要求隆市政局通过人道立场来批准这25户家庭的申请。"刘华才表示。
另一方面，有关发展商已同意作出赔偿给其中的7户人家，但赔偿金却将在他们搬迁后才会支付给他们，这对居民们造成许多困扰，因他们根本没有多余的金钱来安排搬迁工作。对此，民政党峇都区部将要求有关发展商预先支付赔偿金给受影响的居民，好让他们可以安排搬迁和安顿住处的工作。昨日我们也发现发展商打算封锁其中一条进出该甘榜的道路，我们已经指示发展商停止有关行动，因现在还未到所规定的期限。若发展商坚持封锁该道路，我们会采取进一步法律行动。
另外，民政党峇都区部也于昨晚收到消息，有关木屋区昨晚遭火神光顾，烧毁了部分木屋单位。民政党峇都区部等人和志愿消防队也在第一时间到场协助和慰问灾民，并安排临时住处予受影响的居民。对此，民政党峇都区部吁请政府重视居民目前迫切需要人民组屋的诉求。
刘华才博士也补充，民政党将持续服务峇都国会选区的居民，并解决他们的民生问题和提高他们的生活素质。
Application for PPR flat hindered despite being forced to relocate
Batu Gerakan promises to fight from DBKL
Press statement by Batu Gerakan Service Centre Coordinator
Dr. Dominic Lau Hoe Chai
20 November 2012
Yesterday (19 November), members of Gerakan Batu Division led by Batu Gerakan Service Center Coordinator Dr. Dominic Lau Hoe Chai once again met with the 25 families who live in the squatter area of Kampung Sekma, Sentul in order to give an account to the residents about the follow-up by Batu Gerakan Division on the latest development of the related issue on which the residents have received a court order asking them to relocate before 30 November.
Dr. Dominic Lau pointed out that Gerakan Batu Division has met and held talks with the KL Mayor and Deputy Minister of Federal Territories And Urban Wellbeing respectively, the conclusion of the meeting was that once the squatter area located on a private land has been given an eviction order by the land owner, the developer should make appropriate compensation, the government will not provide PPR flat to the residents who are affected under the forced relocation. Although the residents are aware of the government's policy, however they still make a plea to the DBKL to take into consideration on the fact that they have filed the application for PPR flat since 2007 as a ground to approve their application.
"Based on the fact that these 25 families are poor, mostly dependent on labour work for a living and have been residing at the local for over 50 years and also legitimate Malaysians as well, however there is still no news on their application for PPR flat after 5 years. The most pressing matter of the moment, Gerakan Batu Division hope that DBKL can show some leniency and urge DBKL to approve the application of these 25 families through humanitarian grounds," said Dr. Dominic Lau.
On the other hand, the related developer has agreed to make compensation to 7 of those families, however the compensation will only be paid to them once they have relocated, this proves to be troublesome for the residents because they have no extra money to arrange for the relocation works. In this regard, Gerakan Batu Division will seek the related developer to make the compensation in advance to the residents who are affected, so that they can arrange the relocation and settling works. Yesterday we discovered that the developer plans to seal off one of the road leading into the kampung, we already instructed the developer to suspend the action, because it is yet to reach the time limit as prescribed. If the developer insists on sealing off the road, we will take further legal action.
Besides, Gerakan Batu Division also received news on last night that the squatter area has caught fire and burning down some of the wooden housing units. Members of Gerakan Batu Division along with the volunteer fire unit immediately went to offer help and to comfort the victims as well as to arrange for temporary shelter to the affected residents. In this regard, Gerakan Batu Division urges the government to seriously consider the urgent need for a PPR flat unit by the residents at this moment.
Dr. Dominic Lau also added that Gerakan would continue to serve the residents of Batu parliamentary constituency, solve their livelihood problems and improve their quality of life.
