ISKANDAR Puteri City Council (MBIP) cannot take action against illegal squatter settlements built on private land. Iskandar Puteri mayor Hasrin Kamal Hashim said it was the prerogative of landowners to evacuate squatters for illegal encroachment. “My advice is to follow legal proceedings to lawfully evict squatters, instead of taking matters into your own hands,” Hasrin Kamal told StarMetro. The four are Kampung Lorong Aris Batu 8 1/2, Kampung Sepakat Baru, Kampung Laut Batu 10 and Kampung Muhibbah. Separately, Hasrin Kamal said there were no cases of encroachment of land belonging to MBIP throughout last year.
