SEEKING SOLUTION.
Owners of houses entangled in the land title controversy in Sandakan have been advised to form a committee to act on behalf of the group in the pursuance of a solution to the issue. More than 100 of them attended a meeting with Halim Hanapia, a Kota Kinabalu based lawyer at the multipurpose hall of the housing estate's recreation club to seek legal opinion and advises on the matter on Saturday night. Present were DAP Sandakan coordinator Anthony Teo and Karamunting branch pro-tem chairman Simon Chok.
The housing controversy came to light after both DAP leaders went public to expose the issue. At least 290 houses in the housing estate located off Mile 4 Jalan Utara, which is a joint venture project between a leading developer and the Sandakan Municipal Council, are affected. The land title number stated in their Sales & Purchase Agreement is not for the land where their houses are occupying but that of an adjacent site. Meanwhile, Anthony Teo said they would act as facilitator after having highlighted the issue and it is now up to the affected house owners themselves to decide the next course of action.
