Charles Santiago Visits Kampung Papan
Approximately 30 residents in the Kampung Papan ‘squatter’ area welcomed Charles Santiago, Ronnie Liu, and Mrs Manoharan warmly when the Klang constituency candidates paid a visit there recently.
The residents in Kampong Papan have fought for the right for land to build their home, from the Selangor state government for the past 50 years. After having their hopes dashed by empty promises from the present government, the residents look towards Charles for a solution to their land rights violation.

The residents collectively pledged to support Charles in his campaign to be an MP in Klang. The visitation received coverage from broadcasting station, NTV7, and was aired in the 8.30 pm News Edition on the 27th February 2008.
