Bagan Pinang, 21 September 2009 - Dr Xavier visited three estates in the Bagan Pinang constituency with fifty people from Kota Raja and few Negeri Sembilan local leaders.

The three estates that were visited were Aterton Estate, Siliau Estate and Bradwell Estate. About eighty homes were visited.

Dr Xavier's main aim was to survey the living conditions of the estate workers in these active estates and found out that the estate workers are still working and only earning RM400 a month!!! He said that the living condition were deplorable. People were so unbelievably poor.

There were primary school children who weren't going to school because they couldn't afford bus fare. There was actually also family with form five student who wasn't going to school because of transportation problem.

The lack of education was the worst of all. The adults only earn RM400 a month.

The sad fact was that PR had won the three UPU's in these three estates but lost the overall count for the DUN.
