Question

Accepted Answer

Affected Residents Will Receive Compensation Based on Circumstances

Affected residents whose homes were demolished to make way for the Chenang 2 development project in Langkawi will receive compensation. The specific amount and nature of this compensation will be determined based on each individual situation. This action follows the demolition of over 100 squatter homes on government land to facilitate the development.
Demolition for Chenang 2 Project

More than 100 squatter homes located on government land in the Pasir Berdengung beach area of Langkawi were demolished. This action is a prerequisite for the commencement of the Chenang 2 development project, which is slated to begin next year. Kedah Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir stated that the plans for this project originated during the previous government's tenure.
Nature of Demolished Structures

The majority of the structures demolished were identified as commercial buildings, including homestays and chalets. These were primarily profit-oriented operations, and their construction on the land had not received official government approval. Mukhriz emphasised that any construction on government land requires explicit approval.
Compensation Details Await Circumstantial Assessment

Information received indicates that affected residents will be provided with some form of compensation. However, the specifics of this compensation package, including the quantum and form it will take, are contingent upon a case-by-case assessment of the residents' situations. No further details on the compensation have been publicly disclosed.
