00:00DAP's Lim Lip Eng today hit out at a claim by past Deputy President Tuan Ibrahim Tuan

00:07Man that the proposed Urban Renewal Act is aimed at pushing poor Malays and Indians out

00:12of urban areas.

00:15In a statement, Lim said such allegations did not make sense, adding that the URA was

00:19intended to restore residential homes that were old and unsafe to live in.

00:25He said many buildings in urban areas were experiencing structural problems and electrical

00:29supply issues and lacked modern facilities.

00:33More importantly, he said, the original homeowners would be given new homes for free or at a

00:38discounted rate, regardless of their race.

00:41Lim also asked whether the claim that the URA was a way to remove the Malays and Indians

00:45from urban areas had originated, adding that PAS is forced to peddle racially charged myths

00:51to frighten the people.

00:53Yesterday, Malaysia Kini reported Tuan Ibrahim as saying that the URA, which has yet to be

00:58tabled, was a subtle method to push out those who cannot afford it, particularly the Malays

01:03and Indians.

01:04Tuan Ibrahim also said that MPs from Perikatan Nasional would oppose the bill as it could

01:08disrupt harmony.
