IJOK: Landowners and settlers here have asked developers to pay late penalty fee for the delay in building their homes.
Landowner Saadiah Kamit, 56, said according to the new agreement in 2016 they should receive a compensation of 10 per cent of the house sale price if the developers were behind in development. In the old agreement the compensation was quoted as eight per cent.
However, it is learnt that the landowners have yet to receive the necessary compensation.
Saadiah said the residents pleaded to the state government to intervene and help expedite the process after the developers refused to compensate.
“According to the agreement in 2016 we should receive 10 per cent but the project has been postponed for a year and the developers refuse to pay,” she said, adding that the residents felt cheated and victimized.
She said she personally felt there were politicians from the state government who influenced the developers in the construction project.
Last Thursday, former menteri besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim urged for authorities to investigate the reason why the land was snatched from the Selangor government by two companies in 2009, and then sold off to third parties.
Before that, Barison National’s Director of Strategic Communications Datuk Seri Abdul Rahman Dahlan said in a statement that Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali should give a concise explanation regarding Selangor’s government rush to hand over RM1.18 billion worth of land in Mukim Ijok to two companies in 2016.
