HULU SELANGOR: One hundred former settlers of Felda Sungai Buaya received RM50,000 each on April 23 from the federal government as advance payment for arrears in compensation for land acquired from them. 

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the advance payment involved an allocation of RM5 million for the former settlers who had been waiting 15 years for the money. 

They were given RM1,000 in cash and the rest in the form of a bank draft, he said at the presentation of payments to former settlers and the handing over of a cheque for the construction of a road to Sungai Buaya and donations for mosques and surau in Hulu Selangor at the Sekolah Kebangsaan Sungai Buaya field. -- Bernama
