Anwar and Hamzah endorse Sultan's stance on revitalizing Kg Sungai Baru
In a recent development, Sultan Sharafuddin, the Selangor prince, has spoken in favour of a careful and thoughtful approach to treating Kampung Sungai Baru as a residential area. The prince's statement comes amidst ongoing discussions about the redevelopment of the area.
The government's decisions regarding redevelopments are centred on the people's welfare and the continuity of community identity. Dr Zaliha Mustafa, the federal territories minister, reaffirmed this commitment, stating that any development initiative in Kampung Baru will be carried out with care and strictly in accordance with the law.
The issue of Kampung Sungai Baru has been a topic of concern for many, given its historical significance. As a symbol of Malay awakening since 1900, it is crucial to take into account the original history and heritage of the area in any redevelopment decision.
Anwar, as the chairman of the national affordable housing council and the government's leader, welcomed the Sultan's statement on historical heritage and balanced development. He is committed to ensuring that all developments benefit the people without compromising their dignity, rights, or history.
The commotion that occurred in Kampung Sungai Baru on September 11, during which authorities evicted residents from 37 houses, has raised concerns about the welfare of the residents. It was reported that 14 homeowners refused to vacate their homes, while seven others were detained, identified as leaders and members of an organization, not residents of Kampung Sungai Baru.
The Selangor ruler, Sultan Sharafuddin, emphasized the need for the redevelopment of Kampung Sungai Baru to be handled carefully and prudently. He also stated that the conditions for redevelopment should be made clear and in favour of the community. Hamzah, a political leader, expressed a similar concern for the people, particularly the community in a specific area, in a statement.
The Dang Wangi police chief, Sulizmie Affendy Sulaiman, was struck on the head during the evictions in Kampung Sungai Baru. Three suspects were arrested in connection with the incident.
Hamzah also stated that the position of MPs from Perikatan Nasional is consistent with this concern, and they have been vocal about preserving the community's interests and the original demographic in a specific redevelopment. Anwar, in a Facebook post, made a similar statement, expressing his commitment to ensuring that the development will respect the cultural and historical significance of the area.
Dr Zaliha Mustafa warned against attempts to politicize the issue or disrupt community harmony. She reiterated the government's commitment to safeguard the interests of the community in Kampung Baru.
In conclusion, the redevelopment of Kampung Sungai Baru is a complex issue that requires careful consideration and a balance between progress and preservation of history and culture. The voices of the community leaders and the government emphasize the need for transparency, respect for the community's interests, and a commitment to the welfare of the residents.
