The site had been approved by the Lands and Surveys Department for school development, namely SK Sungai Anib 2 and SK Tanjung Papat 2.
Elopura Assemblyman Calvin Chong appealed to the Chief Minister and State Local Government and Housing Ministry to help the squatters concerned.
“At least help them get approval for PPR or affordable housing applications,” he said.
He also suggested more affordable homes be built in the State to help the B40 and M40 groups to own a house.
