How many residents are affected by the land eviction?

Question

Accepted Answer

Nineteen residents are affected by the land eviction for the West Coast Expressway project.

Nineteen residents from Kampung Jawa, Klang, were initially ordered to vacate their land to facilitate the construction of the West Coast Expressway (WCE). The Selangor government has since granted these residents a final two-week extension to relocate, from November 10 to November 24. This extension was granted following a request from the affected landowners for more time to arrange their move.
Extension granted for relocation

The Selangor government has approved a two-week extension for the 19 residents of Kampung Jawa, Klang, to vacate their land. This latest postponement, effective from November 10 until November 24, was granted after the residents requested more time to arrange their relocation. An official letter of postponement has been submitted to the Klang District and Land Office.
Compensation and accommodation provided

All affected residents have been offered temporary accommodation through the Smart Sewa Scheme. Additionally, they have received compensation from the WCE concessionaire, the company responsible for the expressway's construction. These measures aim to support the residents during their transition.
Project completion impacted by refusal

The refusal of these 19 landowners to vacate their homes along a 150-meter stretch of land had been identified as a significant factor delaying the completion of the West Coast Expressway project. The WCE, which is now more than 90 per cent complete, spans 233 kilometers and connects Banting in Selangor to Taiping in Perak.
