The housebuyers showing their appreciation to the Housing and Local Government Minister in their own way.

 PROPERTY owners of Fadason apartments in Jinjang Utara are a relieved lot. Their two-year-old problem of compensation payout has come to an end.  

The issue was over Fadason Holdings Sdn Bhd's delay in handing over the low- and low-medium cost homes.  

The 1,100 low-cost apartments were handed over in September 2002 while the 728 low-medium cost homes were handed over in April last year - a delay of between six months and a year. 

MCA Kepong Public Services and Government Affairs chairman Yee Poh Ping said though the buyers had to go through a lot of hassle, they were relieved that it was finally over. 

“The developers agreed to compensations of between RM1,000 and RM4,000 following a meeting between the Housing and Local Goverment Ministry's secretary-general and Fadason representatives in August. 

On Saturday, the buyers gathered at the housing area to show their appreciation to Minister Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting for taking a personal interest in their problem.
