Meanwhile, Head of Serdang Urban Village, Rasikin, explained that the inspection road is built to overcome the density of vehicles passing in that area. He also confirmed that the residents are already agreed to be relocated as long as they are served and well-treated.

“The residents don’t mind. They support, as long as they are served well. For the compensation, it will be discussed later, but everything follows the applicable rules. We will also take the residents to see the flats they will live in,” he stated.
