High Chaparral villagers at Komtar
The Kampung Buah Pala residents have released a statement today, expressing dissatisfaction with Pakatan politicians who had promised to defend their right to the land during the general election campaign last year. The villagers, who had earlier filed a complaint with the MACC over the land deal, are also claiming that not all families and households were offered compensation. Some excerpts from the statement: If the present State Government cannot stop the demolition then it is adopting the abuse of power by the previous government and is a party to it. …We ask the state government to act now and at least stop and postpone the demolition. It can direct the developer and the police to do so. It should not abdicate its responsibility and shirk its responsibility.
