Some 100 residents protesting the development of the Datum Jelatek luxury condominium in Taman Keramat, Selangor, today turned aggressive and broke into the construction site to halt a project that they felt would turn the area into a "Chinese district".
The residents first began marching peacefully towards the site, before they proceeded to tear down the zinc barrier surrounding it, with several protesters trespassing on the site.
However, police managed to bring the situation under control and the crowd soon dispersed. Two police trucks were seen at the site.
The residents are opposing the Datuk Jelatek project because they claimed it would transform the Malay-majority area into a "Chinese district", as they believed only the Chinese could afford to purchase units at the luxury condominium.
