Frustrated landowner takes matters into own hands to solve land encroachment issue

FOUR years after being repeatedly ignored by the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) regarding a land encroachment issue on his property, a frustrated house owner decided to take matters into his own hands, and the results were swift.

Datuk Edmund Lim's action of placing a 10ft by 20ft steel container in the middle of a public road in Jalan Bukit Desa in Taman Desa, Kuala Lumpur, two weeks ago, which obstructed traffic, resulted in quick action by the authorities.
