Kampung Sembulan Tengah residents push back against unilateral demolitions

Among the Kampung Sembulan Tengah landowners present at the peaceful assembly organised as a protest to the government's decision to demolish homes in the area without compensation on Sunday (Jan 12).

KOTA KINABALU: Three structures were demolished at the controversial Kampung Sembulan Tengah water village, sparking outrage among landowners who are now pursuing legal action to prevent further demolitions.

The landowners, who were previously assured that demolitions would not occur until proper discussions were held with villagers, relevant government officials, and developers, are now compiling documents to support their case.
