In Pandamaran, Klang, 33 families faced eviction from a 60-acre pre-war settlement their ancestors built in 1939. The land, once owned by the Selangor state, was transferred in 1995 to TPPT, a Bank Negara firm, to revive abandoned housing projects. By 1997, plans emerged for low-cost flats for residents. But in 2007, TPPT sold it to Melati Ehsan, a construction firm, which gained development rights. In 2011, the state mandated affordable terrace houses for the families at RM99,000 each. Yet, in 2020, Melati Ehsan issued eviction notices, sparking a legal battle. The Court of Appeal granted a stay, protecting the 33 occupiers’ homes—pending the dispute’s outcome—while allowing demolition of other illegal structures, sparing two Chinese temples.
