00:00The first thing that we will do is to actually make sure that we rebuild this Roomba Bangsa area for more houses to be given to many people who still don't own a house or many young people who don't have a house in Tanjung Aru.
00:16This is the pledge put forward by Warisand's Tanjung Aru candidate Juns Wong should he secure re-election in the Sapa state polls.
00:23Wong, a Warisand vice president, claimed that the residents had faced increasing pressure in recent years to leave, including disruptions to basic utilities which had left dozens of households struggling.
00:35So there are a lot of families who have been staying there for at least maybe 40 years, some 30 years there, then they almost did like taking actions like they're actually forcing them to go out like they curung the whole Roomba Bangsa,
00:50they stopped giving the water supplies, they stopped giving the electricity supplies.
00:56There are still about 45 families who stay there without water and electricity.
01:01Last year, the residents of the low-cost flats were ordered by the state's Housing and Urban Development Board to vacate by August 31st, according to Borneo Post.
01:11They also said Warisand would explore ways to expand affordable housing, including negotiating land swaps or the release of land held by state agencies.
01:20I think the first thing that we need to do, if the people give us the mandate, we come back as a government, the first thing we must make sure that we do not give away this Roomba Bangsa,
01:29which is a very prime land in Tanju Aru, you know, Tanju Aru land is a prime land.
01:33We want the pemilik tanah, lease or non-lease, I mean, sorry, the lease expired or not expired, they will be part of the stakeholding, holders of this development.
01:42They should be brought into this development so that they will discuss and find a women's situation for every pemilik, so we will work with the developers.
