KUALA LUMPUR: A peaceful protest against the proposed Urban Renewal Bill will be held in the Klang Valley on June 14, says PAS Youth.
PAS Youth chief Afnan Hamimi Taib Azamudden told Sinar Harian that genuine development should not be used as a tool for marginalisation or oppression of the people, especially those who are vulnerable and at risk of losing their homes and original communities.
"PAS Youth does not reject the principle of viable and inclusive urban redevelopment.
"However, we emphasise that any implementation of the Urban Renewal Act (URA) must be conducted fairly, transparently, and without sacrificing the rights of the original residents for the benefit of stakeholders," he told the Malay language daily at a press conference at the PAS headquarters in Jalan Raja Laut on Saturday (May 3).
He added that at the same time, PAS Youth would mobilise representatives to submit protest memorandums regarding the Bill to all MPs in their respective areas.
