KAPAR LAND-GRAB: Explain, MB orders District Officer, Land Office
THE Klang District Officer will be hauled up by the Selangor government next week that wants answers to how a Datuk had managed to transfer Temporary Occupation Licences (TOL) plots in Kampung Perepat, Kapar within 24 hours.
Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim will also question several other officers from the same Land Office to ascertain why a directive by the State government to revoke the land titles given to the Datuk had not been followed. Khalid would be calling the Klang District Officer and officers from the Land Office to present the case.
Speaking to pressmen after the Selangor Executive Councillor’s meeting, Khalid said the case would be presented at the State Economy Action Meeting (MTES) within two weeks.
“We have requested that the case be presented at the MTES either this week or next week. After that, we will deliberate on the actions to be taken on this matter,” Khalid said.
When asked if the State suspects any foul play in the Kampung Perepat issue, Khalid said: “I dare not comment anything on that right now. We shall wait and see.”
On June 19, Malay Mail
frontpaged the Selangor government’s promise to 17 families, who held ToLs for agricultural land in Kampung Perepat, that the plots would be returned to them after a long-drawn tussle. Khalid, when asked for his feedback on the long-running issue, did not mince his words.
“If it is illegal, we will demolish it,” he told Malay Mail. He added that he would deploy his officers to investigate the matter. But he declined comment when asked on the lengthy amount of time taken by the Klang District Office to respond to his query on the issue.
On June 22, the controversy surrounding the Kapar land-grab issue has since deepened. Kapar Member of Parliament S. Manikavasagam said when he went to the Selangor Malaysian Anti- Corruption Commission (MACC) office at Plaza Masalam in Shah Alam, an MACC officer told him that three reports lodged by the Kampung Perepat pioneers, as well as the one he personally filed last year, could not be found. MACC responded by questioning one of the pioneers and a Malay Mail journalist.
