KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 3 (Bernama) -- Additional compensation payments totalling RM200,000 for the acquisition of land from 11 flat unit owners in Kampung Sungai Baru, Kampung Bharu here, have been disbursed to the applicants, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) Dr Zaliha Mustafa.
She explained that these individuals were among 75 applicants who submitted Form N (a form filed to apply for an objection to be referred to court) under Section 38 of the Land Acquisition Act 1960 to challenge the compensation amount offered by the Kuala Lumpur Federal Territory Department of Lands and Mines (JKPTG WPKL).
Dr Zaliha said the court had ordered additional compensation of between RM18,000 and RM24,000 per unit for the 11 flat unit owners based on an out-of-court settlement, while two remaining applications are still being processed by the Attorney-General’s Chambers.
“This amount is an additional payment to the total compensation offered by JKPTG WPKL, which ranges from RM244,000 to RM356,000.
“The applicants agreed to the offer, which represents an approximate 10 per cent increase over the property valuation by the Valuation and Property Services Department (JPPH) under the Ministry of Finance,” she said when replying to a question from Azli Yusof (PH-Shah Alam) in the Dewan Rakyat today.
