[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR – The Dewan Rakyat has allowed a motion by Khalid Samad (Shah Alam-PH) to debate matters concerning the government’s possible acquisition of land in the traditional Malay enclave of Kg Baru in the capital city.

Deputy Speaker Datuk Mohd Rashid Hasnon (Batu Pahat-Bersatu) told the House that the debate will proceed in a special chamber at 2.30pm today.

Khalid requested a motion to debate the matter last Wednesday, emphasising that the matter is of national interest.

“This specifically involves the government’s action of using the Land Acquisition Act 1960 to nab land away from the residents of Kg Baru.

“This matter is of national interest because the land belongs to people who have lived there for generations,” Khalid said.
