Squatters of Kampung Raja Bashah, Kuala Kurau will be experiencing more comfortable living conditions when their new settlement is completed on the same site. To be implemented in three phases, the resettlement programme is targetted to be fully finished late next year.
Work on building the settlement infrastructure was officially launched by Chief Minister Datuk Seri Dr. Zambry Abdul Kadir at the site late Sunday afternoon.
According to Kerian District Officer, Ismail Hassan, a RM2.5 million allocation was approved for the building of infrastructure and land acquisition exercise. Following the ‘Kampung Tersusun’ concept, the new settlement will have 102 individual house lots when fully completed.
Meanwhile, Dr. Zambry said the idea of the resettlement programme was first mooted to him when he first visited the area as Chief Minister late last year. All he could do then was promise to the Kampung Raja Bashah squatters that he will look into the suggestion seriously as they have a genuine problem that needed to be solved.
“After countless discussions, consultations and negotiations between the Chief Minister’s office, BN party leaders, the District Officer, the state Land and Minerals Office, and the land owner, now the effort is seeing fruition.
“The main problem was that the site was not government land and it had an owner. But in the end we managed to persuade the owner to sell the land to us for this purpose (to develop the resettlement site),” Dr. Zambry said in his speech at the ceremony.
The Chief Minister further added that the state government had to use money from its coffers to pay the land owner as the squatters couldn’t afford to pay the asking price themselves.
