About 80 disgruntled villagers from Kampung Chubadak Tambahan today staged a protest against the Kuala Lumpur City Hall’s (DBKL) move to tear down their houses.

Together with PAS deputy president Mohamad Sabu, Batu MP Tian Chua, PSM secretary-general S Aruthchelvan and NGO Anak chairperson Mazlan Aliman, the protesters stood outside the DBKL headquarters, jostling placards for attention.

They were waiting to hand over a memorandum to Mayor Ahmad Phesal Talib, asking that he respects a High Court order to hold off any more demolition.
