SHAH Alam PAS has pledged to gazette the residential area and roaming land of the Temuan Orang Asli community in Bukit Bandaraya and Bukit Cerakah, as has been done in Kelantan.
PAS Shah Alam parliamentary candidate Dr Mohd Zuhdi Marsuki and his comrade, Kota Anggerik state seat candidate, Ahmad Dusuki Abd Rani, said they would be working toward this goal if elected.
“Kelantan is the only state in the Peninsula that has done this, and we would like to emulate it here,” said Zuhdi.
He made the promise during a visit to the Orang Asli community centre in Bukit Bandaraya, Section U11 with Dusuki.
Dusuki stressed that if he won the state seat, he would raise the issue with the new Selangor state government.
He said there was a need to review the plight of the Orang Asli community.
According to him, the developer who relocated the original 30 Temuan families to Bukit Antarabangsa had promised them bungalows, terrace houses and apartments.
“However, the construction of the apartments has been delayed for years now. We will meet the developer of the area, who had promised them the apartments," Dusuki added.
Across the road from the 30 families currently living in Bukit Antarabangsa are another 23 families living in the Bukit Cerakah forest.
“The original families who received the houses are renting out the bungalow units to earn an income instead of tapping rubber and collecting durian.
