The Penang Island City Council (MBPP) has confirmed that illegal land clearing is being done near Taman Sahabat Indah, Kampung Suluk in Teluk Kumbar, Bayan Lepas.

Local leaders and residents have recently voiced concerns as to the nature of the work, whether it was for the construction of the foreign workers’ hostels to which they had vehemently objected or other projects.

The council said a stop-work notice had been issued against the land owner on Aug 5.

“MBPP’s engineering department had conducted site inspection after receiving a public complaint about the clearing work. During our inspection, we found felling of trees, cutting of slopes and construction of a temporary road using an excavator.

“A verbal order had been given to the excavator operator to stop all work, which had been adhered to.

“We also issued a stop-work order to the landowner and for other measures to be taken,” it said.

MBPP said, among others, the landowner also had to immediately put up fencing and close up the road leading to the site to prevent any further work.

“The landowner also has the responsibility to ensure that the site remains safe and does not cause danger and harm to nearby residents, public property or the surrounding.

“An investigation paper has been opened, which will be followed by legal action,” it added.

It was reported that the Penang government planned to construct foreign workers’ hostels to house some 50,000 people on three plots of land in Teluk Kumbar near here.

The plan had been met with widespread objection.

In recent days, there have been calls to do away with the foreign workers’ hostels in Teluk Kumbar, particularly from Bayan Lepas assemblyman Azrul Mahathir Aziz and Balik Pulau member of parliament Datuk Muhammad Bakhtiar Wan Chik.

Azrul said local residents had told him that they would launch a massive protest if the state government proceeded with its plan.

“As such, I urged the state government to intervene and review or cancel this plan,” he added.

Bakhtiar, meanwhile, urged the local authorities to hold engagement sessions with the local residents before proceeding with the project.

At a cost of almost RM6.45 million, the Penang Housing Board (LPNPP) is going to build 3-storey low-cost flats on an abandoned plot of land near Lorong Murai Jaya here and is expected to be fully completed within 12 months from now.

Chief Minister, Y.A.B. Tuan Chow Kon Yeow informed that eligible local residents will be given priority to be offered units through a project that will consist of 36 residences with a floor area of ​​700 sq.ft. per unit through the rent-to-own method for a period of up to 25 years as stipulated by LPNPP.

“These houses may not be sold but eligible applicants will be offered to pay rent (through the ‘rent-to-own’ method) which when the term (‘rent-to-own’) expires within a period of 20 years or 25 years (i.e. ) payment every month (completed), finally the house will belong to the residents.

“This would mean they don’t need to get a (housing) loan from the bank (first), but can continue to move in because this is the State Government’s social responsibility,” he explained before completing the groundbreaking ceremony for the project here yesterday.

According to Mutiara Bulletin, the 0.8 acre land for the low-cost housing has already been abandoned for almost 35 years and the private developer firm has finally agreed to hand over the vacant land to the local authority (PBT).

The State Government through the LPNPP appointed the Penang Development Corporation (PDC) to manage the development of the abandoned land.
