（檳城）“我們有房子住啦，謝謝檳州政府的幫忙！”
來自前“猴棗芭”（位於峇都蘭樟奧林匹亞學院原址後）的數十名居民，昨日（27日）中午相約中央花園（Central Garden）前拉橫幅，以行動感謝檳州政府在過去幾年來為他們爭取權益，讓他們在離開猴棗芭三年後，仍可以回到原址，住回原來的地方！
這群居民有的帶著父母、有的帶著兒女，大家扶老攜幼出現在現場，人人臉上無不掛著燦爛的笑容，場面一片喜氣洋洋。
居民頂著大太陽頻頻向峇都蘭樟區州議員羅興強道謝，爾後更興奮地走入甫落成不久的“中央花園”中廉價屋，參觀他們未來的家。
獲中央公園40單位
羅興強：讓人羨慕
羅興強向記者說，這群居民都是當年猴棗芭的原住戶，大部份的人都已在當地落地生根數十年，有者甚至已經住了三代人。
“2008年，猴棗芭被地主徵收，作為興建豪華公寓及中廉價屋之用，結果，裡頭的10間房子就被迫要搬遷，離開他們生長許多年的土地。”
他說，受影響的10間房子獲在原址興建的中廉價屋作為賠償，但，問題是，這10間房子內，其實又有多戶人家“寄住”在周遭，獲賠的10個中央花園單位，實在不夠住。
檳民聯爭取更多賠償“檳民聯在2008年執政後，立刻為他們爭取更多的賠償，所幸的是，在經過和發展商的多次討論後，終於作出定案，即挪出額外的30餘單位保留予受影響的猴棗芭居民購買，讓他們有個落腳處。”
他也說，中央公園共有195個單位，是個優質的中廉價屋，現在單單猴棗芭的居民就可以獲得約40單位，可算是非常的令人羨慕。
羅興強稍後也和居民一同參觀新房子，分享大家的喜悅。出席者包括了檳州房屋事務委員會主席黃漢偉的代表莫策燕。（星洲日報／大北馬）

Home sweet home
ALONG-AWAITED dream has come true for sisters Yap Siew Bee, 41, and Siew Thoo, 26, who have received a new low medium-cost home.
“I am so happy today and I can’t wait to move into our unit when it is completed,” said Siew Bee.
Siew Thoo said that previously, their large family of 10 all stayed under one roof.
“Now, we will have two units for all of us to live in,” she said when they visited the soon-to-be completed Central Park project in Penang.
They were among 10 families living along Lebuhraya Batu Lanchang who were forced to move out in 2008 to make way for the project’s development.
Jumping for joy: The residents expressing their happiness after checking out their low medium-cost units in Central Park on Lebuhraya Batu Lanchang. With them is Law (centre)
The families were compensated with units at the project after the state government intervened.
Another resident who declined to be named said he was looking forward to moving in.
“The unit looks very nice and trendy,” he said.
Batu Lanchang assemblyman Danny Law met the affected families at Central Park and took them on a tour of their units.
Law said there were a total of 175 low medium-cost units at Central Park, with each unit measuring 16.25sq m.
“The families should be able to move into their units next month,” he added.
State Housing EXCO Wong Hon Wai was represented by his assistant Bok Chek Ean.
