KUALA LANGAT: The presence of a “kongsi haram” (illegal migrant quarters) which houses nearly 200 foreign workers of a paper processing factory in Taman Bakti here has upset residents who have called for the squatters to be relocated.

Most of the workers comprising Indonesians and Bangladeshis live in “kongsi” houses erected on the Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) reserve land in very uncomfortable and crowded conditions without basic facilities and a proper sewage system.
