JOHOR BARU: Six family members, who have been living in poverty, were shocked when enforcement officers from the Johor Housing Secretariat (SUK Perumahan) evicted them from their flat on Tuesday (April 16). The family had failed to pay rental arrears at Flat Tasek 64, Seri Alam, here, which amounted to RM6,900, but has been granted a temporary reprieve. Mohd Zin Mustafa, 47, said he had stopped working in Singapore after being a victim of a hit and run in 2015. Johor Women Development and Tourism Committee chairman Liow Cai Tung said the state government would find ways to help the family. Liow said the rent is RM100 per month, and the tenants should have earlier talked to SUK Perumahan or approached the state government.
