High Chaparral villagers hold protest outside Adun Rayer s and call for his resignation. They now want to meet the CM on Monday.
If the state government comes out with any sort of excuse, its a black mark for them since can’t fulfill election promise. 26 days left for some action. I’m wondering what is the response from MMSP, Penang Hindraf, and also other NGOs.
I agree with the comments by ex-Deputy Chief Minister of Penang on this issue. Its been more than a year and still no solution in sight. If they can’t solve the problem, they should have told the residents.
Also, NST reported the following:
On the Kampung Lorong Buah Pala issue, Dr Hilmi said the previous administration had discussed with the land owner and developer to help the 31 affected families then.
Meanwhile, the NST learnt that 11 of the 31 families had since taken up the offer made by the previous administration. Those who opted for cash were given between RM180,000 and RM200,000 for each family and have since moved out. Those who opted for houses, were given a RM10,000 start-up and a three-year rental prior to the completion of their new houses.
That means the balance 20 families did not accept the offers. By some family accepting the offers, it weakens the case for the residents.
