Free accommodation was offered to them when Selayang municipal councillor M.B. Raja and Selayang MIC deputy chairman P. Palaniappan highlighted their plight to Rawang assemblyman Datuk Tang See Hang and MPS president Zainal Abidin Azim.
Raja said that Tang and Zainal, who were supportive of the cause, provided apartment units for the families at the Desa Sri Bayu apartments in Batu16, Rawang.
“Of eight families, two families Chinese, three Indian and three Malay. Some of them are disabled and a few are senior citizens,” he said.

“These families will stay in medium-cost apartments estimated about RM60,000 and they don’t need to pay the rent,'' Raja said at the MIC service centre in Rawang recently.
A few weeks ago, Raja also helped around a dozen single mothers to obtain the green light from MPS to set up their own business at council stalls to sustain themselves and their children.
Raja opened his service centre at 1/1A Taman Sri Hijau, Rawang three years ago and meets the public every Saturday from 8.30am to 2pm.
