    PUTRAJAYA: About 120 residents of Jinjang Selatan Tambahan in Kuala Lumpur today submitted a memorandum to Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, requesting the prime minister's intervention in resolving their 43-year-old issue of securing land titles.

     

    A representative of the residents, A. Ponnampalam, handed the memorandum to a representative from the Prime Minister's Office at the Perdana Putra Building here.

     
    The memorandum, among others, requests the prime minister to have a meeting with the residents to discuss their problem.
     
    Ponnampalan said the residents had been bringing up the matter over the last 43 years but there has been no solution, and expressed the hope that it could be resolved before the next general election with the help of Najib. 
     
    He said the area was established as an organised housing settlement and each lot was given by the government since 1969.
     
    The residents had paid assessment up to 2007 and quit rent up to 1997 but discontinued the payments after the authorities refused to accept them, he said.
     
    The settlement on Lot 9714 of 115 acres (46.53 hectare) sits on former mining land which was fragmented into lots by the government for construction of houses under temporary occupation licence (TOL) status. 
     
    Up to 525 people are living there now. -- BERNAMA
