The Voice Of The Minority ~ Tamils of Kg Buah Pala

The villagers and civil societies have argued that the site is a 200-year-old Indian traditional village, which is also popularly known 'High Chaparral' due to its population of cowherds, cattle, goats, other live stocks, and lively Tamil cultural features and festivities ~ Malaysiakini

Recently the name of a village called Kg Buah Pala became one of the nation headline news. Basically everyone knows of the current situation. The court had ordered the village to be demolise by 3rd of August, 2009.

After the heavy finger pointing between MIC and Penang state government as per 3rd of August, 2009 no final decision has been made making it as positive news to the called High Chaparral village minority Tamils.

On the 4th of August 2009, the demolition has been hold again for another twist story. Let’s wait and see what will be the out come. The process is going to determine what will happen. The politician shall play some role to make use of Kg Buah Pala issues for their own gaining. Here are some of my observation will be.

The Permatang Pasir by election is on the way. After a massive set back in the death of Teoh, BN will make use of Kg Buah Pala to gain support. Saving the Kg Buah Pala village shall bring some trust to the villagers as well as the Permatang Pasir’s people.

Releasing the good news on the probe of the death Mr.Teoh shall be another plus point to BN and the current PM. Even the mass rally carried by GMI gave a pressure to BN but by taking a positive move by releasing all the accused will heal the pain.

As for today, the latest Article in Utusan Malaysia “Melayu Jangan Jadi Bacul” was made used by Pakatan as another set back in DS Najib’s ruling parti. Yet another article for a reason of their own. Will this benefit anyone?

My personal request from the people of Malaysia, the government ~ the Federal and the State government to stop the continuing of Kg Buah Pala demolition. Don’t take their home away. Don’t eliminate the culture that been exist for more than 200 years in this soil. It is Malaysian culture that belongs to all of us. The villagers only asking their home not to be taken away.

It got nothing to blame on the Pakatan Government. This deal was done when Tan Sri Koh (GERAKAN) is in power.

The agreement and the first payment done at his time. The Pakatan governemnt is just continue to proceed the process but never thought there was a story behind it.

Actually, the BN government sold this land and the best part is, guess to whom it was sold?

I am not going to say it, cause everyone knows. It was a total set back and now pakatan is taking the blame.

Another plot frm BN..

many more to come.
