FED up with Kuala Lumpur City Hall’s (DBKL) empty promises over new housing, residents of Jinjang Selatan Tambahan (JST) say they will not move out until there is a black-and-white agreement.

JST Permanent Housing Resolution Committee chairman A. Ponampalam said the city council failed despite assurances by Kuala Lumpur mayor Datuk Nor Hisham Ahmad Dahlan in January that the project would take off soon.
