KLK Estate

It's not everyday we get our name in the newspapers. That it appeared in one up north gives us that much more pride. Of course, on close inspection we kinda realized it was just our namesake, but heck it, we'll take credit for it anyway.

KLK estate workers to get terrace houses

IJOK: Workers from three estates belonging to Kuala Lumpur Kepong (KLK) Bhd would be able to own single storey terrace houses after their employer implements a housing schemes in the near future.

MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu said the company had already agreed to implement the scheme after obtaining the approval from the relevant authorities.

“The workers in Tuan Mee, Caledonia and Coalfield estates would be the main beneficiaries,” he said to roaring approval from the Indian voters who were gathered at the small community centre.

Tuan Mee’s senior manager Chuan Chong Meng, National Union of Plantation Workers general secretary Datuk G. Sankaran, MIC deputy president Datuk G. Palanivel and other MIC leaders were also present.

Samy Vellu said the estate workers had put forward the proposal for houses two days ago and they were here to give the good news.

“This is how the Barisan Nasional government works. We discussed and got the approvals within a short time for the benefit of the estate people,” he said.

Samy Vellu said estate workers who wanted to upgrade their houses or even own bungalows could do so after discussions with the company, which is constructing the houses.

“I must thank the management of KLK for taking into consideration the problems of the estate workers and deciding on the housing scheme within a short period,” he said.
