Landowner has no plans to develop former Rohingya settlement site

The owner of the land housing an illegal Rohingya settlement in Kampung Baru Sungai Makau, Hulu Langat, has no immediate plans to develop the site, according to the landowner's son, who goes by Kim.

Kim confirmed that his family has completed the demolition of all structures on the property. He declined to disclose the cost of the demolition work but stated that further actions are still pending. "The demolition work has been completed, but there are still some follow-up actions that need to be taken," he said. "The Ampang Jaya Municipal Council (MPAJ) and the Land Office are in constant contact with us to ensure the relevant processes proceed smoothly."

Hulu Langat Member of Parliament Mohd. Sany Hamzan also confirmed that the illegal settlement site is now completely vacant following the recent demolition. He observed that the area has returned to normal, with residents resuming their daily routines without any further complaints about foreign nationals. "Alhamdulillah, I see the community in this area has returned to their daily routines and there are no more complaints about foreign nationals," he stated. "I will continue to monitor areas that have received complaints about the presence of foreign nationals in cooperation with the authorities to ensure any issues raised by residents are handled according to current laws and regulations."

Mohd. Sany added that the issue of the Rohingya settlement on his family's land should serve as a lesson for all landowners to prevent the construction of illegal settlements on their property. The site, previously occupied by the settlement, now appears as a cleared area with piles of concrete debris, stones, soil, and construction waste yet to be fully removed.
