Kg Buah Pala issue can end with a stroke of a pen

The Kampung Buah Pala village impasse in Bukit Gelugor, Penang can easily end with a mere stroke of a pen by Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, said Hindraf leader P Uthayakumar.

He said the Pakatan Rakyat state government could secure and preserve the states only Indian cultural heritage village by acquiring its land from the current owner on the grounds of public purpose and interests.

Uthayakumar stressed that Lim has an absolute power to do so under Section 76 of the National Land Code 1965 read together with the Land Acquisition Act.

He ticked off Lim for failing to do it despite holding the state powers for the past 14 months.

Even the prime minister and the federal cabinet have no power over the land acquisition, he said.

Uthayakumar warned Lim that Hindraf would hold him solely accountable if he were to let slip the opportunity and allow the developer to evict the villagers and usurp their traditional village.

He said Lim can acquire the land for the villagers and compensate the land owner, Koperasi Pegawai Kerajaan Pulau Pinang, and developer, Umno-linked Nusmetro Ventures, with money or an alternate development site.

Whichever way, he should preserve and conserve this Indian traditional village, he said during a visit to Kampung Buah Pala yesterday.

He warned Lim that he would face the wrath of Hindraf if he failed to exercise his power and shattered the villagers hopes.

the developer already making things bad by offering a 500k house for you all. if the claim that this land really belong to you please bring out the proof, if u cant bring out the proof then try finding out who is the one that sold out your land without your knowledge. i think the villager is barking up at the wrong tree here while the previous state goverment laugh happily behind with alot of cash in pocket
