Two-decade wait for land

SOME 25 people from Carey Island in Kuala Langat are still waiting for an answer over their agricultural land application which they first made in 1998.

Despite numerous trips to the Kuala Langat District Land Office over the past 20 years to follow up on their applications, no decision has been reached. Some of them have died due to illness and old age, but the remaining applicants are still hopeful that their applications for an acre of land each will be approved by the Selangor government.
