More than a month after their homes were bulldozed, residents of Kampung Papan, Pandamaran, "launched" a row of nine small single-room units on New Year's Day as a protest against the Selangor government, which they claim has failed to fulfil its housing promises.

The construction of these 8x8 square-foot units represents the anger of residents who are now forced to live in poor conditions on land under legal dispute.

Single-room units built with help of locals, residents' rep says.
