“Meanwhile, one of the High Chaparral villagers will file an application at the Penang High Court tomorrow for a stay to set aside the Federal Court decision on grounds they want a re-trial using a different case-line.”

———————————-

Huh ? What difference case-line ?
A High Court cannot stay a Federal Court decision !

In a civil suit, once the federal court has decided it means the end of the road for the case.
Finis !

To Hindraf, Pakatan will never be able to do enough for Indians. This is because PR’s agenda is to uplift the poor of all races equally based on need, not race. But Hindraf wants Indians to be specially helped.

This sort of mentality is outdated and a throwback to the BN model of race politics with each race fighting for itself. This system has already left Indians behind because the weakest race will get the least. But Hindraf still wants to propagate this system.

instead of using their head and time given to pursue the matter up the Federal Govt, they rather choose the faster way by the stroke of pen… even the media use the word…stroke of pen …not knowing that it cost Penangite money to pay for the BN problems. Why should Penangites money been use for this chapter when BN were the one who involved in cheap land deal.

Feds not wanting to help Penangite in the first place and rather focus in Sabah and Sarawak.

Lim guan eng was right . Let BN face the wrath from hindraf.

These Hindraf people have to distinguish between what’s legally workable and what’s legally not workable. The settlers would have been cheated of their land by the previous state government for the benefit of their members but then for the current state govt to acquire the land the current owners would have to be compensated and the money used to compensate the current owners would have to come from the people. At this point the general public do understand and sympathise with Hindraf’s struggle and we are with them all the way. But the moment they lose their heads and start to behave irrationally, they will lose our support. Dont think that Hindraf can achieve their objectives alone and also dont forget there are many Indians outside Hindraf.

If you analyse carefully, nowadays Hindraf is just another racist movement, no different from UMNO. Just Hindraf represent another race. Do u think they realy voice out against oppression of Indian? My foot!! Look at Bkt Selambau by election, once their preferred candidate not being chosen, they start to condemn and boycott. This more like a personal interest at stake rather than interest of Indian. Look at the breakaway group who form their own political party.

Its leaders are getting very arrogant, looks as if this country ran by them, they can simply run anybody down, including BN and Pakatan. Anything not to their liking, demo..demo..demo.. as if this country have no laws. Talk big, talk cheap as if Hindraf knew everything under the sun, other Malaysian are dump, stupid. Only Hindraf leader is the smartest chap on earth.

“…Hindraf’s voice is for the marginalised minority community in this country….”

How did Hindraf became a voice for the marginalised minority community in this country? Who appointed Hindraf for this function?

And I fail to understand how demonstration by Hindraf going to solve anything.

hindraf thought they help PR in election but they forget that many silent voices likes us were also part of the majority. If they thought they could swing the votes, than we don’t mind that in next election , swing your vote again and see if they will be sent back to Ladang where they came from. They want change but not willing to wait . they want it quickly and they want it happens everywhere in a year time. They forgot that DAP and other parties in PR came from the poverty roots unlike BN.

The I****** are famous for demo.If HIndraf wants to go to BN,go then.//

Hindraf is not an organisation to voice out for Pakatan or BN. Its a people’s movement. Hindraf’s voice is for the marginalised minority community in this country.

And so far, what the hell u have done for those people (kg Buah Pala) who were cheated by BN, Pakatan and developers!

Whatever it is, PEOPLE must come first. This is where BN failed. Hopefully PR will make a difference. Otherwise they will be seen as developers’ cronies.

The fact is, this piece of land was given to the residents long time ago. Unfortunately there was a scam to take away the land from them. These people are victims of a scandal. The High Court saw it but the higher courts failed.

Since judiciary and all other agencies can’t be trusted to safeguard people’s welfare, it is critical for the state government to fulfill its promises made during GE2008 to get this issue resolved

Guys, there’s a heavy price to pay for every action taken especially the state government. Seriously, I’m still holding to the view that NGOs doesn’t hold the majority views. I repeat Anil Netto though with well intention, not always right. Like John the Baptist, Anil might be wrong on this. Since it matters Penangites whenever it touches the reserve of the state government. Lets have a state wide referendum on High Chapparal. 3 options. First, to keep High Chapparal. Second, to follow the final judgement by Federal Court Or Third, CAVEAT THE LAND, BUILD PUBLIC HOUSING. BENEFICIAL TO MORE THAN JUST 300 FOLKS. WITH 6.5ACRES, WE CAN BUILD A TOWNSHIP SIMILAR TO TOA PAYOH IN SINGAPORE. HOUSES FOR THE POOR. Guys, you choose
