Dengkil: 300 residents of the Taman Permata Dengkil low-cost flats are tonight staging a sleep-in at the side of the main Dengkil road about 700 metres from their homes.
The sleep-in, organised by the NGO Jaringan Rakyat Tertindas or Jerit is in protest at the living conditions of the 450 families who were quickly moved out of their former estate homes to make way for Putrajaya and Cyberjaya.
The residents started organising themselves under tentage at 5 pm and many will spend much of the next 24 hours there.
Also lending support were Bukit Jalil residents' committee members and members of the Parti Sosialis Malaysia and the Human Rights Party.
A look at Block 5 of the 5-block Taman Permata Dengkil clearly shows the deplorable state the blocks are in. Block 5 seems to be the worst affected -- the area around the block seems to have sunk a few meters creating crevices, filled with waste water.
One wonders as to the state of structural integrity of the block.
