Selangor BN, settlers to lodge complaint with MACC
SEPANG: Selangor Barisan Nasional (BN) leaders and settlers in Ijok plan to lodge a complaint with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission next week over the sale of a plot of land.
This is following several transactions and the Selangor government’s act of returning a 880ha plot of land in that area to two housing developers.
Selangor BN Information chief Datuk Dr Mohamed Satim Diman yesterday said the settlers had voiced their dissatisfaction about the compensation paid to them.
He said the sum paid was based on the value of the land in 2000, but it was sold to two companies at market price.
“If the land was sold based on market price, why was the compensation paid to the settlers did not reflect the market price?
“The settlers were unhappy when they learnt that the sale of the land was
RM1.18 bil- lion. What happened to the balance of RM800 million? There is a question mark about it.”
Last Wednesday, BN strategic communication director Datuk Seri Abdul Rahman Dahlan had demanded an explanation from Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Azmin Ali over the stategovernment’s decision to hand over the land to Mujur Zaman Sdn Bhd and LBCN Development Sdn Bhd in 2016, whose contract had been revoked by then menteri besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim for failing to pay the premium on the land.
Two prior court decisions in the High Court and the Court of Appeal had sided with the Selangor government.
On a separate matter, Satim said among the issues that would be brought up in the (state BN’s) manifesto for the 14th General Election included the housing issues faced by the people of Ladang Fermanagh, Sungai Merbau and Sungai Rawang here.
