MORE than 320 families living on Kampung Cross Street in Bukit Mer-tajam are happy after the developer agreed to increase their compensation.
The residents expressed their happiness when Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng conveyed the good news during a meeting at the Seberang Prai Municipal Council headquarters in Bandar Perda.
Residents action committee chairman Tan Khin Mok, 47, said the developer served an eviction notice to the residents about a year ago.
“We had numerous meetings with the developer, who offered each of us only RM15,000 regardless of our house size.
“The compensation offered then was too little for us to do anything, it was not even enough for us to buy a low-cost flat,” he said yesterday.
Tan said they took up the matter with Chief Minister who managed to get the developer to increase the compensation to RM30,000 and RM45,000.
