Govt Awaiting Tar College Proposal On Village Resettlement Minister

---

Dr Zaliha Mustafa said the government is still waiting for a ‘feasible proposal’ from Tunku Abdul Rahman (TAR) College over relocating Kampung Setia Jaya residents in Setapak, Kuala Lumpur.
The minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) said previously, it discussed with TAR College and they agreed the residents could continue to live there until related matters, including the settlement problem, were resolved.
She said this after officiating a 2024 Kids Fest event in Putrajaya today.
On Dec 19 last year, the High Court reportedly ordered about 500 residents of Kampung Setia Jaya to vacate the land they were occupying within 18 months.
Following that, Zaliha held several meetings with resident representatives and the TAR Education Foundation as the land owner to resolve the issue.
Meanwhile, the minister said the children’s festival was organised for the first time, not only to make Putrajaya a tourism hub but also as a local animation hub.
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) Dr Zaliha MustafaShe said the local animation market is growing rapidly and the success of various local animations such as Didi & Friends and Omar & Hana proves that local animation is capable of competing with foreign animations.
“This festival certainly contributes to the aspiration of transforming the Federal Territory of Putrajaya into a smart city based on digitisation,” she said.
Organised by KRU Arena and Universal Music Malaysia with the support of Astro Radio, the 2024 Kids Fest is being held on Jan 27-28 at Padang Semarak in Taman Wetland.
