‘Initially, I’ve planned to divide the land to my children. But when the government decided that they wanted to develop the land for the benefit of the villagers, I decided to comply. I know that the development planned is for the betterment of the villagers and also future generations.’

‘Although I feel heavy-hearted to part with the inherited land from my late parents, I am grateful that our state government is providing us with good compensation. The people in Kampung Segedup and Kampung Maong are very happy with the development plans that the state government intends to implement.’

‘I hope that we will be given the opportunity and priority to purchase a house when the new housing scheme is completed. The compensation received will be equally divided among my siblings which is sufficient for us to invest in a new house or for our children’s education’.
