Looks like an amicable deal where the villagers will have their heritage village, amidst at an adjacent land. I think LGE is very fair, any other BN state govt would have joined hands with the developer to flatten the village – we have seen hundreds of Buah Pala around Malaysia.
The only losers will be MIC and the newly formed Indian party, PAHAM, who were seaking political mileage out of this. Those who betrayed the villagers by selling the land in the first place (BN including MIC) were suddenly trying to be champions, totallyvshameless.
Ayyoyo Tol Samy cant even solve the MAIKA share problem, which robbed many Indians of their childrens education & retirement plan, will now have to look for a new problem. What happened to MIC youth claiming they want to buy the land from the owner – Nusmetro/Koperasi?
Looks like MIC and Gerakan are breathing their last few breaths, moments before their demisal from Malaysian politics after the rakyat thought them a lesson for being UMNO’s stooges and polital apologists and opportunists.

What do you mean MIC and Gerakan breathing their last breaths. To me they are already dead and irrelevant parties. It is just their souls refuse to rest in peace and still roam the streets to haunt those that caused their death i.e. they blame the Pakatan government

If they want to preserve the heritage, they should not be building double storey houses. The new site should reflect traditional Indian village architecture.

Somebody said that “with one stroke of the pen, the CM of Penang could acquire the land.” Is it that simple? If so, even MIC leader could have done it, with RM3.2 million! You have to follow the law; the National Land Code.
I belive in this : ” what is yours if yours; nobody can touch it except over your dead body. What is not yours is not yours; and anybody can touch it, even, if necessary, over your dead body– you want to die, you die.”
Of course, if there is any land scam, then the CM through the land office, would revoke the development; and take back the land. The trouble is that so many smart guys want to make this issue as their political platform to revive their ‘dead’ Party or to make known that it is the new kid on the block; and to let the villagers that they are tehre to fight for them! In reality, they are fighting to establish themselves as “saviours or heroes” of the villagers.
One great disservice the former BN Government leaders did but refuse to come forward to UNDO the damage done is to ignore all requests to help solve the problem. They gleefully wash theri hands clean, knowing full well that they were the authors of this current problem. Sad to say, the PM, who failed to practise what he preaches on his 1 Malaysia programme:” PEOPLE FIRST, PERFORMANCE NOW ” seems to be people LAST; performance LATER; and has set up his KPI ( Key Perforamnce iNdex) has chosen somebody whose own KPI in his former State is far below par.
It is not enough to walk in Petaling Street, Brickfields and Kampong Baru; but fail to walk to Penang, Sabah and Sarawak INTERIORS where the very poor are!
ACTIONS speak louder than words.
Now it is all talk, talk, talk; but very little to show. Show your sincerity by solving the Kampong Buah Pala problem. This is an litmus teast of SINCERITY in action!
In my view, both villagers and develoeprs should sit down and play the cards staright, without ” outside advisers” to disrupt the negotiation. If a piece of land on the site could be allocated fort eh villagers; and hosues built on it , then both sides could solve the problem, with ” a stroke of the pen! ”

Singam, going by your twisted logic – the developer should be building them some shabby pondok made of wood and zinc with broken atap and clogged smelly drains. BECAUSE thats what their houses are like at the moment. Is that Indian heritage? Certainly not according to my Indian friend at workplace. Heritage is not physical but there is more to it – soul, cultural events, occupations attached, etc etc

aiyoo., let them have better houses le. Kesian these chaps, (betrayed) by MIC and Gerakan to UMNO(-linked interests) and then when … not able to build… stir up the hornets nest to try to get Penang to buy back at RM150 million.

What deal? With their home demolished? LGE is just bulls***ing, he can’t stop the developer from demolishing the home of those poor people. LGE can’t stop the rich from (grabbing) the land from those poor people knowing that the poor people are the (original settlers) of the land. LGE is just another KTK in the form of PK. He is the CM for the rich not the poor. He like to fight but not fighting the rich. He only has empty talk no action. The home will be demolished with LGE doing nothing that is the sad fact.
