Hei Stupid King Cobra,
SQUATTERS have no rights under Malaysian law. The KPB (residents) are going to be given houses worth hundreds of thousands. Come to Johor and see what the wonderful UMNO … would give you, In southern Johor Malay squatters weer kicked out of their home and compensated with RM30,000.00 low cost homes. Imagine what they would do to your skin without LGE around or are you … too stupid to understand that the KPB developer is an UMNO linked company.
You clowns voted for BN in Bagan Pinang and the same BN (negligence) drowned three Indian kids in Perak. … in the midst of covering up the mess until PR exposed the illegal nature of the bridge and how the kids were not supervised by their teachers during the bridge crossing. Without PR in Perak those three dead kids would just be three dead (kids) in the eyes of UMNO. Now, I want you KPB instigators to go to UMNO and ask them to force Numestro to give the remaining KPB folks who did not accept the terrace house offer for the same deal or a better deal. Go ahead and grovel in front of UMNO for scraps again. Typical stupid…, after 50 years of being ‘sodomised’ by UMNO still wants more of the same.

Hi! King Cobra, I do not wish to be mean or rude in my reply to you.
I agree absolutely with Vinnan, squatters has got no rights! This applies not only to Malays, Chinese or Indians but to all Malaysians regardless of race. Please be logical and think hard, no one would believe their ears when they heard that squatters are compensated with a house worth RM450,000. Be honest and be impartial, do you think, if you are sobre, that the BN Government will have a second look at you, in the event they are still in power in Penang? They will not care a damn for you, you may continue hissing in the wild.
The fact is that the UMNO linked company cannot do anything as LGE had used his power vested on him to stop any developments on the State Land until and unless compensation, and in this case, a double storey house is build to compensate the villagers. Be rational and be fair to your own kind, please spare them the pain of bringing up painful memories again. Everyone in KBP is happy with the compensation, except for a few with vested interests. While we pained in the fact that such a well protected site had not gone unnoticed under the UMNO/BN people who only wanted the site to make monies for themselves, but at least the PR stood for you without shirking its duties, i.e to fight for the Rakyat.
The villagers are happy, the politicians that stirred trouble had gone back, without caring a damn about the fate of the KBP folks after stirring up controversies, which they are good and second to none, the BN side that is.
Government stirring hate and discord amongst the races? Is it? From BN, I guess you are referring to? LGE is a Chinese, Datuk Mansor is a Malay and Prof. Ramasamy is an Indian, they worked hand in glove to resolve the issues of KBP and that the villagers of KBP are taken care of, still, you mean to say, there are racial problems? When and where did it happen? This is news to us. All the rakyat are in Penang are happy and work hard to assist each other, regardless of race. I guess you must have overplayed or exaggerated the issues! There never was the issue of racial hate which you mentioned, King Cobra!!!!! Please do not sow hatred amongst the races of Penang and Malysia. You sound very bitter, King Cobra, let the matter rest, the BN are happy that their UMNO led company got to develop their land, with the help of Gerakan. The villagers are very well compensated except that Penangnites had lost a part of their wonderful history of this place called Kampung Buah Pala. It is a loss to Penangnites and not to you outsider, King Cobra! Guess you must be from the MIC.
Let the issue rest King Cobra.
