22-1-2024 (KUALA LUMPUR) A startling discovery unfolded when a man found that his friend’s vacant house in Puchong, Selangor, had been occupied by foreign nationals, prompting concerns over unauthorized residency and potential legal complications. The man, identified as Srilabu Kedah on Facebook, shared the incident, revealing that the property had been left unused for a decade.
The friend, residing on the East Coast, had entrusted the man to facilitate the sale of the property. However, upon inspecting the house, the man was surprised to find foreigners inside. Despite the owner confirming that the house had been vacant for over ten years, the occupants, unable to communicate in Malay or English, claimed to have lived there without paying rent.
The man expressed astonishment at the boldness of the foreign residents, highlighting their unauthorized entry into someone’s property. Attempts to communicate and obtain proof of ownership were met with resistance, raising questions about the legal status of their residency.
“I told the owner to make a police report, and I will also report the matter to the Immigration Department,” said the man, urging homeowners to be vigilant about their vacant properties.
The incident sheds light on a broader issue of foreign nationals choosing various locations in the Klang Valley for residence and business setup. The Klang Valley, known for rapid development and job opportunities, has attracted foreigners seeking employment in construction, services, and cleaning sectors.
The influx of foreign communities in specific areas has led to unease among the local population. Colonization and dominance in certain locations have become a growing concern, prompting calls for effective countermeasures by authorities to address undocumented foreign arrivals.
