1210: Kg Buah Pala residents have failed to obtain leave to appeal against a Court of Appeal order for them to vacate the land. The Federal Court struck off their second application for leave this morning.
The villagers were unable to get a full trial in the Federal Court, says one of the villagers. He adds that there could be another appeal coming up next week (I need to verify this).
0030: Once again, the Kg Buah Pala residents have taken their case to the highest court in the land.
Dalbinder Singh is providing live coverage from the Federal Court (beginning at 9.00am) here.

Fatimah,
It doesnt matter how PR supporters think because PR has got the mandate to rule from the people and not by force.
Its better to be zombies rather than be totally dead like BN in Penang. Look at where MCA, MIC and Gerakan went? They have ben buried and bueried by the Penang People. UMNO is the next to be buried. Look at what kind of candidate UMNO-BN offered for Permatang Pasir? No wonder you are with BN as Bn dont have any good and clean people to offer. KBP was sold by BN to BN cronies…. but PR got the blame.
We shall see how many more UMNO-BN guys will be buried come GE13 in Penang.
Selamat berpuasa to you and hope this Holy Ramadhan month will give you the space and spirit to rethink your mind and make you come to your senses. Salam.

I wondered whether some commentators and bloggers writing on High Chaparral crisis have really visited Kg Buah Pala, talked to the residents and comprehended their predicament.
I wonder whether they really know the truth behind the whole issue which blew up into a confidence crisis to the DAP government.
One should realise, a recent opnion poll carried out by an independent group found that Lim Guan Eng rating amongs Indians and Malays in Penang had actually gone down.
Do any DAP supporters know that LGE had (allegedly) been using his official car for election rallies in Permatang Pasir?
Well! Talking about pot calling the kettle black…

No. Pakatan will not lose Penang. The Indians will not desert Pakatan. Gerakan looks likely to be wiped out of national politics. People Power will ensure that Pakatan continues as a strong party. The Malays, Chinese and Indians will support Pakatan. They all want a change. Just drop by Permatang Pasir. You will feel the WIND OF CHANGE blowing. The government controlled media is losing steam as all their propaganda seem to backfire. I just pity those guys who are paid to do so. HIDUP PAKATAN.

Hi ghkok,
Would you dare to start a business in a State where the Government can ignore a court ruling? Would you invest in a State where the Government can cause you to lose money with the “stroke of a pen”, regardless of any court decision? If you think that there is a lack of social justice in the court decision, then you should try to overturn the decision instead of expecting the State Government to ignore it.
I agree that there must be social justice. But where a case like Kg B Pala has already occured, the best thing to do would be to exhaust all possibilities to obtain compensation for the aggrieved party without infringing on the Rule of Law.
If a Government is allowed to ignore one court ruling (and this will lead to more legal cases as the developer is not going to take it lying down), where will it end? As an investor I would ask what other Court decisions will the State Government ignore in the name of social justice, in future?
I think that the present State Government has been very patient and has done a good job in getting a two storey terrace house as compensation for the Kg B Pala folks. Compare this to the previous bulldozing cases where very little or no compensation was given; the Kg B Pala folks should be feeling grateful rather than continue to demonise the Penang State Government and giving the impression that the present State Government is worst than the previous Government. They should not fritter away the little sympathy left for them among the people of Penang.

Poor guy Rohaizat is having a tough time Permatang Pasir. He has lost the appeal of almost all the people here. BN has made a big blunder putting him as a candidate. The sad part of it is some UMNO leaders are still championing him, as they say in Malay, MENEGAKKAN BENANG BASAH. The clear choice of the people here is this soft-spoken PAS candidate. He is well-liked by almost all the races here. This candidate is known to be a kind-hearted man who have helped peopleof all races and religion. PAS has chosen the right man to contest. I pity this guy, Rohaizat.

Megat, what is your personal take on this matter.
Do you agree that politicians can use the official cars or helicopters when they campaign for their parties ? Yes or No.
I agree they can use it eg LGE and DPM Muhyiddin ? You don’t agree is it ?

Deep sympathy to Kg Buah Pala residents as they failed at Federal Court.
Now I believe they should seek help from MIC as MIC have plead to assist them with 3.2 millions

Kg Buah Pala has approached UMNO Bukit Gelugor for help (refer to STAR latest news )
Now this I would say is “good strategy”.
Kg Buah Pala is not going down without a fight, by hook or by crook, they are going to make sure they WIN.
If they want it bad enough, it might just work.
Good Luck to Kg Buah Pala resident.

There are three type of law ie Law of Nature, Law of the Land and a Private law.
Today the private law and the land of the land fails to prevails beyond anything else as it always a contractual issue that defies the base law of nature as it defies humanity and certain unaliaenable right for freedom and truth to live fairly and in equality within a society.
The nonchalant and slackness of action by the People Power, ie me and you creates the usurpation of the Executive power for the need of the few whether it is BN or Pakatan.
For an order for a law to be proper, it must be just and able to protect equally the rights of all without violating the rights of any or another without any factual basis rather than media spin.
There is nothing mysterious about proper law as it is based on humanity and common sense based on Law of God, ie natural law,ie common law.
Today we all in Malaysia know that the Law of the land and the Law of the land is a private law for us individually. If it favourable to BN, then it a a bad law, if it is favourable to Pakatan then it is a good law. This is clearly the perception at least in the Kg Buah Pala issue when the natural law forsakes each and everyone of us for the humanity to crave for a natural law which the is the mother of all laws.
Malaysians, will you ever seek for what is just for a human cause based on natural law for the community or your affinity that only you can be answerable is still a big question. Why, if we are so for a humanity cause, yet we still squabble around when right and fair issue is always based on what fits your own agenda as oppose what is good for the community.
So much for Kg Buah pala incident, but it is definately a good lesson to understand why humanity have forsaken us to understand that Malaysians individually are still who they are for the purpose that only serves themselves and only themselves without a tinge of thought for humanity.So much for a changed community that will swing either way for affinity for themselves as oppose to humanity.

Hi, i think enough is enough. I think it is too much for the Kampung Buah Pala people to ask for more compensation, for a land that they live and not belong to them. LGE have do more than enough to help the residents.
I’m residents of penang, and i totally support the state government. If this is BN, long time ago the villages being demolished.

Ken Wong,
I agree with your concerns. But the answer is simple.
Investors should be guided by Ethics NOT Greed.
Knowing there is Injustice and yet if investors decide to get involved, they do so at their own peril. Justice cannot be sacrificed to please investors!

D highest court hve turn d villagers down again.. LGE & his … ADUNS hve washed their hands long ago when d DAP WIRA’S switch off their H/P’s, when d devil lopers tried to force their way into d village on d 13/8/09 to demolish the village. Nw who is going to help d desperate villagers??? It is easy to comment & past remarks on d villagers who r just trying to saveguard their houses they r living for yrs. D govt tat they have choosen “DAP” choose d easy way out pretending to be very ,very concern but it seems tat they only concern for d welfare of d rich & greedy devil lopers. LGE hve said numerous times tat he will invoke sek 116 of d land code, but nothing was done????? Nw it is nothing wrong if d villagers r approaching UMNO for help, PR hve failed d rakyat.
