Abstract

The squatter camps in the kampongs off Old Klang Road, which links Kuala Lumpur to the old port of Klang, were places full of stories of resilience and difficulty borne of simple day-to-day living. However, the people living in those extensive squatter settlements are being progressively 'relocated' into purpose-built high-rise housing units, under Malaysia's policy for 'zero squatter settlements'. The standard of living of the people in these areas and community sustainability in Malaysia is discussed.
