KLANG: A group of residents from Kampung Papan turned up unannounced at the Selangor DAP convention to demand that promises made in the previous general election be fulfilled. Leading the group was Kampung Jalan Papan Residents Association vice-secretary Lau Siew Lam, who brought about 20 residents with her to the Selangor DAP Convention at Centro Mall in Klang. She said residents of Kampung Jalan Papan were disappointed because promises of replacement housing and fair compensation had not been fulfilled. In November last year, several individuals were arrested amid tense scenes as homes were demolished in Kampung Jalan Papan. It was reported that 20 houses in Kampung Jalan Papan, Pandamaran, were demolished in November to make way for a developer's new project.
