A day after win, Kamalanathan doles out cash
BUKIT BERUNTUNG, April 26 — Newly-minted Hulu Selangor MP P. Kamalanathan has hit the ground running and kicked off his first day as a “yang berhormat” today delivering on one of the many by-election promises made by the Barisan Nasional.
The MIC information chief arrived at the former Felda settlement in Sungai Buaya here shortly before 1pm this afternoon to distribute the cash arrears of RM13.15 million owed to the remaining 263 settlers.
Each settler was to receive RM50,000 in bank draft as advance payment of arrears in compensation for land acquired from them over 15 years ago.
One hundred settlers had earlier received their payments from Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak last Friday, during the last leg of the campaign trail before yesterday’s polls.
