A group of residents in Kampung Kerinchi who were incited by their MP Nurul Izzah Anwar to protest against the redevelopment of their flats, are now regretting their decision, said Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.

He said Nurul Izzah had claimed the project was politically motivated, but its success proved the government's sincerity in looking after the people.

"The Lembah Pantai MP tried to derail this project, and brought it to court... But this project succeeded.

"Those who became victims were the 34 people incited by her, and they regret it," Najib added when officially opening the new residential flats, dubbed 'Residensi Kerinchi'.
