But families from two fishing villages here have now fallen on hard times in a tale of “rags-to-riches and back-to-rags”. Two decades ago, the Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP) took over the Tanjung Pelepas and Tanjung Adang villages for the development of the terminal, acquiring 1,416.4ha of land, which is about the size of 1,700 football fields. These families had not paid up for the houses, which were sold to them by PTP at cost price. Mak Long, who has received two eviction notices in the past two years, is worried about losing the roof over her head. I received two eviction notices, one last year and another three months ago.
