Last ditch at eviction
KUALA LUMPUR: The City Hall here will make one last attempt at convincing the remaining 107 residents of Kampung Semarak to accept a compensation package which included relocation to nearby low-cost units to avoid having to evict them. Mayor Datuk Abdul Hakim Borhan said this would be the third time City Hall was making the offer since the first eviction notices were served to the residents in 2004. “We hope they will move out by Wednesday (tomorrow),” he said yesterday. Kampung Semarak is the last of 33 villages that had to be demolished to make way for the new Duta Ulu Kelang Expressway.
