JOHOR BARU: The Johor government is committed to ending the plight of an orang asli group that has yet to receive compensation for land eviction despite winning two legal cases.
Mentri Besar Datuk Dr Sahruddin Jamal said the state government would discuss the matter in the next executive meeting and find the best solution.“The issue started under the previous government and we have only started gaining insight on the matter recently,” he said when met during a Hari Raya open house.
Asked if action would be taken against officers who had failed to abide by the court order, Dr Sahruddin said the state government would first need to review the case thoroughly. Their plight began in 1993 when the state government directed the settlement to relocate from Stulang Laut, where they had been staying for hundreds of years, to Kuala Masai.
