Police in cahoots with developer, claim residents

Bangi Field Workers' Action Committee claims that the police are being one-sided, supporting the property developer.
KUALA LUMPUR: Bangi Field Workers’ Action Committee alleged that the police are working in cahoots with property developer Transloyal Development Sdn Bhd.
Committee chairman C Krishnan claimed they had lodged more than 60 police reports to date but the police did not act on them.
“We have lodged 22 police reports before I and another committee member, M Rajan, were called in to record our statements. The police did not pay heed to any of it,” he said.
“Other committee members and residents lodged 42 individual police reports on July 10 this year, the same day I and Rajan were told that we were being remanded,” he said, adding that the police responded within minutes after receiving a report from the developer.
“Why are the police taking sides? They should be neutral and uphold justice. All our reports are ignored. But all the developer needed was one miserable police report,” he said.
He added that they are only fighting to stop encroachment of the 100-metre area which the state government and municipal council had barred the developer from working on.

“Why are the police supporting them when they are going against orders?” he asked.
The state government and the Kajang municipal council (MPKj) had issued a stay order as requested by the residents to prevent the developers from working 100 metres from the residents’ quarters.
“The police would threaten to take action against us but will just keep mum when we ask them to take action against the stick-wielding thugs hired by the developer,” he said.
“The thugs had not only encroached onto the 100-metre area, they had also entered the quarters and destroyed the residents’ properties,” he alleged.
Malaysian Socialist Party (PSM) secretary general S Arutchelvan, escorted a group of about 30 residents to the Bukit Aman police headquarters today to submit a memorandum.
Meeting with developer
Speaking on behalf of the residents, Arutchelvan said the police were being unfair and had ignored the pleas of the people who have lived there for almost a century.
“The police should give strict orders to the developer to not disrupt the daily lives of the residents. Instead, they are taking the developer’s side,” he said.
“These people only started retaliating after the developer encroached onto the 100-metre area which they are not allowed to work on,” he added.
Arutchelvan, who was among the five who were allowed to enter the police headquarters to submit the memorandum said they had a satisfactory meeting.
“We did not get to meet Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Khalid Abu Bakar, but we had a satisfactory meeting with their public relations officer Ramli Mohamed Yoosof. He was the one who accepted the memorandum,” he said.
“Ramli made a few phone calls immediately including one to the deputy police chief of Selangor A Thaiveegan,” he added.
Arutchelvan said Thaiveegan has promised that a meeting will be held between the residents’ committee and the developer, mediated by the Kajang OCPD Ass Comm Abdul Rashid Abdul Wahab.
