Perfume Spray on July 2nd, 2009 at 7.36pm
Pls substantiate your allegations as it does carry some weight as to your last comment. If this is true, this would indeed make DAP look morally wrong (only as to the promises but LGE is still right about not paying the compensation).
Remember, you are categorically specifying DAP instead of PKR / LGE or an individual candidate. You may be subject to a defamation suit if it turns out that u are making unsubstantiated libelous statements. Of course, if you know for a fact that it is true (and not relying on 3rd party info), then u r making a huge contribution to supplement what is already known publicly.

This Perfume Spray talked rubbish, Perfume Spray is either stupid or (perhaps) from the gang that benefited from crony system.
First he/she mentioned some old NST report, but when he/she is asked whether is he/she keeping all old copies of NST, he/she has no asnwer.
Then he/she talked about the land sold is NOT CHEAP under the close crony system, and gave all rubbish figures and excuses to back up the land sold under close crony system is with reasonable price, maybe even so high no other taker/buyer (hahahaha, what a joker).
Now without any proof this Perfume Spray is throwing more accusation at LGE and PR but acting like he/she is neutral and trying to help the victims.
It is impossible to talk reason with stupid people or with the crony gang.
Perfume Spray, thank you for the info that KBP is outside the UNESCO delineated heritage zoning.
Even so, if KBP is indeed of historical value to the state, then CM LGE should still be able to take the executive decision to protect it as a local conservation area and put into motion the process to give that decision legal effect asap either through available intra-vires executive powers or through an urgent new state law approved and passed in the Penang Legislative Assembly.
Assuming it is true that the Selangor PR government is indeed putting a stop to all its iffy demolitions, then perhaps CM LGE could give MB Khalid a tinkle for some quick guidance and so save time and energy in having to reinvent any new thinking executive wheels perhaps.
Furthermore, in addition to the known constraints of the current legal tussle, bad publicity and the hard moral and highly emotive fact of KBP being housing trust land that is allegedly tainted with an allegation of illegal fraud (in that original strange transaction between the previous state government and the connected civil service cooperative) if the land also has other legal restrictions on it which the developer will have to apply to the current state government for removal, then if I were to be wearing that developer’s shoes, I really would not want to play hard-ball with CM LGE over this matter.
I may instead see the good commercial wisdom and the logical business sense in my negotiating with CM LGE for a face-saving way out for my company to back out of the whole sorry mess of a deal that should never have been entered into in the first place had my company (through its lawyers) first checked out all the salient facts.
Still in those developer shoes, I may even consider apologising to the KBP residents and people of Penang for all the hassle and then I would call in some competent lawyers and start the process to sue the pants off that civil service cooperative for unmitigated redress of all my company’s losses.
But that’s just me hypothesising again so I can’t tell what thedeveloper company’s CEO/Board may in fact decide to do over this embarrassing, sorry mess.

These people have no brains,instead of demo against the company,they went against the state government as if it is the state government who is going to evict them.The company Nusmetro Venture is a small company with a paid up capaital of just RM250,000.00.I believe this company doesn’t even have one single staff !
…Send them to hell-lah idiots !
