"They had been given appeal letter, but there is no action afterward," complained Zainal (32), one of the locals, Wednesday (12/16).

According to Zainal, if it continues like that, the building will hamper the channel flow. Thus cause flood in the residential.

Regarding the matter, Senen Sub-District Head, Masroni stated that his side will check the residents report.

"We'll command the urban village head to check the letter. The buildings are supposed to be demolished as they can't stand on water channel," he disclosed.
