What a joke! Obviously those residents of Kg Pala lives in their own fantasy land.

“Act now or forever be condemned’?
This guy does not have grey matter in his head. If LGE has to act in favour of the KgPala residents, using his ‘powers’ he would also be abusing his powers as a CM. Staying and living on a piece of land does not make you the owner of the land, and why should the rest of the taxpayers fork out the money to buy the land from the developers to give to the Kg Pala squatters?
Wise up folks of Kg Pala, if I were you all, I would take the coompensation and clear out from there. What social justice is Ong Eu Soon talking about? If there is any justice at all, the residents in Kg Pala should return the land to the rightful owners and not claim for what was not theirs in the first place.

Ibrahim,
Absolutely agree with you, HINDRAF can merely talk talk talk, they can not do anything useful or constructive. Neither they provide any legal assistance to Kg Buah Pala Villagers, despite several of them are lawyers. Also mentioned marginalization of Indian…but Uthaya and other HINDRAF, asked yourselves what have you done to help the Villagers or Indian in general besides heard you all talk ig. No contribution at all, besides offer just a lip service.

“Hindraf is a radical movement and hence friends or foe will get hurt by what it does.”

Sorry, my view is that Hindraf is a force for good. It is primarily a human rights movement which is open to all Malaysians and stands for ALL rightful Malaysian good causes and therefore, stands also against ALL Malaysian injustices.

The original group that is the true Hindraf (led by P Uthayakumar and his brother Waythamoorthy) just happened to start on a first good cause that related to the bad acts of marginalisation, persecution and injustices done in the particularly hig-profiled and unlawful destruction of Malaysian/Indian temples, and which destructive acts and injustices SEEMED to impact the Indian ethnic Malayisans and their communities far more so than other Malaysians/ communities.

Nobody ask LGE to do the impossible. The core issue of Kampung Buah Bala is not about compensation, enemy or friend, it is about social justice. Why we used to have Rent Control Act? It is to protect the people, until KTK took it away from the people and reduce GeorgeTown to be a Ghost Town. We want the government to protect living heritage, protect our home land not to simply build and destroy. This LGE has no vision and doesn’t seem to know what he is doing. He is not BAD but just STUPID.

Why is Hindraf insisting LGE can do things he can’t? Set aside the transfer when its already sold by the BN govt? that would subject Penang Govt to legal libailities..

Hindraf looks wrong in this but I don’t understand why LGE is saying Hindraf don’t know who is friend or not. Maybe true but I somehow I don’t think he hit it on the head. Hindraf is a radical movement and hence friends or foe will get hurt by what it does. But even a radical movement cannot do the wrong thing and Hindraf is doing the wrong thing and that is what LGE should be talking about. They are wrong about what the State govt can do and it looks like possibly wrong about what the developer will do about demolishing the site on the date.

90% Indians used to be staunch supporters for BN since day one. The wrongdoing was done by ex-state government which was supported by those indians stayed at Kampung Buah Pala.

What Koh Tsu Koon did is morally wrong, but he is right in legal aspect.

LGE shall organize a conference on this issue to gather feedback from legal experts on how to fight this case in court.
