Another 'Tasek Uatra' Incidence — 400 Made Homeless
Ipoh— 63 houses in the Gunong Rapan area were flattened with the help of a bulldozer, demolition squad and Federal Reserve Unit. The action left behind more than 400 squatters in a helpless situation. A 70 year old lady had to seek a temporary shelter under a tree with her two grandsons. One of the squatters said that some people had tried the proper channels to apply for a piece of land, but there was no reply. If the squatters were capable, they wouldn't have occupied the land.
