Most Kg Baru residents want development

THE meeting between Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing Minister Datuk Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin with landowners and residents of Kampung Baru on Saturday, to discuss the redevelopment plans, was a cordial affair with most owners agreeing that the 100-year-old village must be developed.

Several landowners and residents, however, were sceptical over the Government’s proposal that Kampung Baru be opened to non-Malays and questioned the rationale for this.
