Residents of Kampung Sungai Baru resist eviction after utilities cut off


ABOUT 47 residents of Kampung Sungai Baru had their electricity and water supply cut off around 9am on Monday (June 10) by the land owner, in an attempt to force them to vacate their homes.

This follows an evacuation notice issued by the Federal Territory Land and Mines Office (PTGWP) to vacate the land last October, failing which legal action would be taken.
