'A prolonged water supply disruption is a major inconvenience for the people.

As a temporary measure to assist residents while waiting for a comprehensive solution from the authorities, Chew said he had arranged for water tanker deliveries to Kampung Meruntum.

Villagers protest condo project over eviction, safety fears
Published on: Thursday, May 15, 2025 Published on: Thu, May 15, 2025 By: Jonathan Nicholas Text Size: Kanny (seated second right) with Sharif (standing right) and some of the affected villagers. PUTATAN: Over 100 villagers from Kampung Muhibbah Lama have voiced strong opposition to a 12-storey condominium project, citing concerns over flooding, traffic congestion, and lack of consultation. Residents claim they were only recently issued eviction notices despite having lived on the privately owned site since the 1970s, with five homes directly affected and many more potentially impacted. Advertisement Sharif Aeman Azahari, 25, said the developer, believed to be Sarawak-based, began land clearing last month without compensation or alternative housing offered to affected families. Village representative Kanny Chew argued that the project's location within an airport red zone raises safety concerns and questioned how it was approved without adequate community engagement. Umno Putatan Chief Jeffrey Nor, who attended the peaceful protest, said he is seeking legal advice as residents prepare to submit a formal objection to local authorities and the Chief Minister. * Follow us on Instagram and join our Telegram and/or WhatsApp channel(s) for the latest news you don't want to miss. * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
