AMPANG: A dozen squatters and two Taoist temples up a hill near Taman Bukit Teratai here, who are to be evicted soon after Chinese New Year to make way for the construction of the Sungai Besi-Ulu Klang Expressway (SUKE), are appealing for help.

Wong Chee Keong, 50, chairman of one of the temples, said most of those affected are in their 60s and 70s.
