The plantation sector should come under the ambit of the Rural and Regional Development Ministry and be accorded the same privileges and benefits that Felda settlers enjoy, said Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM).
Secretary-general Arutchelvan said plantation workers have been sidelined for the past 52 years and left to fend for themselves whenever the economic situation saps the source of their livelihood.
“MIC has been sending the wrong message to these workers by equating plantations with poverty and encouraging them to move to urban areas where they encounter various types of social and economic problems,†he said.
To illustrate his point, he said four plantations had to make way for the development of Putrajaya and the displaced workers were shifted into cramped multi-storey flats where they faced social and economic problems.

In a sign of changing times squatters handed over a memorandum to the state government seeking Menteri Besar Zambry Abdul Kadir’s assurance that they would be allocated alternative housing lots once they meet the Oct 31 deadline for leaving the former mining land.
The memorandum from 183 residents of Kampung Meru Tin was received by Zambry’s personal secretary when they had actually wanted the menteri besar ,who had promised them that he would look into their grievances personally, to receive the document.
Although, on Aug 20 Zambry had given them the Form 5A application for land titles and offer letters from Kinta Land Office for the resettlement plan, the villagers who had been staying on the land since 1940, still remember the bitter experience other squatters had gone through.

For more than half a century 120 Indian families have been waiting for titles to the land they have been squatting on in Buntong and promises made by various heads of the state government have all come to naught so far.
In 1999, the then Menteri Besar Ramli Ngeh Talib had promised to give the squatters alternative land lots but that did not materialise.
Again in 2008, his successor former Menteri Besar Mohamad Tajol Rosli Ghazali promised the squatters another piece of land as the plots pledged to them had been switched to the Gamuda double-track railway project.

A former Malaysian Trade Union Congress (MTUC) general officer from Perak wants the union to look after the interests of the 90 percent unorganised labour force in the country who are often short-changed by employers in the country.
K Kunasekaran, who volunteered at the MTUC for six years from 2002 to 2008, wants the union to recruit more Industrial Relation Officers (IRO) to cope with the increase in cases of terminated workers especially with the recent downturn in the country’s economy.
