A scuffle broke out between a group of people believed to be linked to MIC Youth and one of Penang Deputy Chief Minister P Ramasamy’s assistants at around 6.00pm today at Komtar, according to an eye-witness.
The MIC youth reps were there to hand over a memorandum to the state government offering to buy back the Kampung Buah Pala land for RM3.2 million.
After the handing over, which took place cordially, the MIC crowd were still gathered at the ground floor when the assistant allegedly shouted at them from the first floor.
This infuriated the MIC group, words were exchanged, and a few of them then raced towards the assistant. The assistant received a few punches, said the eye-witness, who was not sure if the assistant retaliated before fleeing with other aides to the government offices.
Earlier, Kampong Buah Pala villagers lost in the Penang High Court in their bid to stay the Federal Court decision against them. Their attempt was rejected with costs awarded against them.
A second writ to argue that the villagers do have locus standi is expected to be heard soon.
Over in Kampong Buah Pala, one eye-witness said he saw high-tech CCTV cameras with satellite dishes being put up.
Time is running out for the villagers as the 2 August deadline to vacate the premises draws closer even as they continue discussions with the state government. Discussions resume tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) is calling upon the state government to give priority to the investigation on land fraud and mismanagement of Kampung Buah Pala. Its secretary-general, S Arutchelvan, is asking the government to take an injunction to stop any forced eviction until the completion of this investigation.
Have those infantiles who appear to have no self-control over their bodily parts, and who appear also not to understand civility in mature adult communications, freedom of speech in a democracy or even the rule of law, been arrested by the police for criminal assault and battery yet?
To the MIC juvenile person/people who attacked that DCM’s assistant, and irrespective of what he said:
I hope you are suitably ashamed of yourself/selves for your bad and childish behaviour in our public view.
Suggest respectfully that you grow up. In the meanwhile, if you can’t stand the heat, suggest you get out of the political kitchen and not bother wandering into one again until you are able to do so with some maturity and with some acceptable polish.

That “semi value” … and his bunch of “zombies” are real clowns and downright stupid. They behave and act as if they are saviours and heroes of the Indian community after 52+ years!!!!. Buying the land for $3.2M?? They are not only out of their minds …
Hey, you bunch of clowns, please “dudok diam diam…” as usual all these years. Dont make the issue more worst.
Enough is enough.
Just do the rakyat a big big favor and … off back to your cosy armchairs in MIC.

Jittendran & Rajan are Samy Vellu’s … carriers!
It was Gerakan who caused the problem.
MIC is trying to gain cheap publicity.
The Malaysian people will KICK them out soon in the next G.E.
