Jinjang Selatan residents demand fair compensation ahead of October eviction
A group of residents in Kuala Lumpur's Jinjang Selatan submitted a fresh memorandum to city authorities on Tuesday, urging fair compensation terms before the scheduled October 31 eviction deadline.

The residents gathered at the Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL) office to present their latest appeal to municipal representatives and city council officials. The move marks another attempt by the community to secure what they view as equitable settlement packages ahead of the mandatory relocation.
The group's ongoing engagement with city hall officials underscores growing tensions between residents and authorities over the terms of displacement. Residents have consistently raised concerns that proposed compensation packages do not adequately reflect property values or account for their economic circumstances.
DBKL had previously announced the October 31 deadline for residents to vacate the area as part of an urban redevelopment initiative. The memorandum submission represents a continued push by residents to negotiate improved terms before the final cutoff date.
Officials have not yet issued a formal response to the latest memorandum. The matter remains ongoing as both parties continue discussions regarding compensation structures and relocation arrangements.
