120 families receive land grants after 40-year wait

After a 40-year wait, 120 families in Sungkai and Kuala Bikam have finally received their land grants, marking the end of a protracted settlement issue. The resolution was announced by the Minister of Housing and Local Government, Nga Kor Ming, who emphasized the Madani government's commitment to the welfare of all citizens.

"The problem of squatters that has persisted for over 40 years has finally been resolved," Nga Kor Ming stated at a dinner event. He highlighted that the land grants represent a symbol of a more secure future for the 120 families and generations to come. The event was attended by over 1,200 guests from various ethnic backgrounds.

Nga Kor Ming also pointed to other government initiatives aimed at improving the lives of the Indian community, including allocations of RM20 million for Indian villages, RM50 million for Tamil National Type Schools (SJKT), and an increased allocation of RM150 million for the Malaysian Indian Transformation Unit (Mitra). These measures underscore the government's efforts to address long-standing issues and promote inclusivity.
