Representatives of over 90 NGOs and associations gathered to oppose the recent tabling of the Urban Renewal Bill, alleging it was unfair, legally unsound, and would affect the rights of homeowners.
“We demand that the government retract the bill and announce a moratorium on all urban renewal development plans until a fairer and comprehensive law is enacted,” they said in a statement during a press conference in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, today.
