Shots fired at Kg Hakka developer's office

SEREMBAN: Several gunshots were fired at the office of the developer involved in a suit against villagers in Kampung Hakka in Mantin, early Wednesday.

It could not be immediately established how many shots were fired but preliminary investigations found at least five casings at the scene.

A police forensic team was immediately dispatched to the scene to search for clues.

The developer has been involved in a legal tussle with the villagers over the parcel of land since 2011.

More than half of the 90-odd households have accepted compensation and moved out while the remaining villagers took the matter to court.

The High Court last month ruled in favour of the developer. However, the residents are appealing the decision.

It is also reliably learnt that the residents have again appealed to the developer to increase the amount in compensation.
