BEAUFORT: Demolition works at Kampung Jmpangah here which began on Wednesday, have been postponed until this Sunday after residents refused to vacate their homes. Sabah Consumers Front (CFOS) secretary-general Hashima Hasbullah said the process was halted following an agreement by the landowner to grant residents time to leave. She said the demolition began at 10am, with four houses partially torn down, but was interrupted due to resistance from the occupants. As a result, the landowner agreed to delay the demolition, allowing residents until Sunday to pack and vacate the village. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
