I refer to the Malaysiakini report Kg Buah Pala: Hindraf 'got it wrong'.

Dear Lim Guan Eng,

I read with care your call to Hindraf to wake up and not blame you for the people’s predicament.

You may well remember that before the last general elections, these residents of Kampung Buah Pala did see you and your officers to highlight their problem. Mind you, at that time they were already at that time battling a losing war in the Malaysian courts.

You and your officers made promises that should you win and take over the state, you would give the people of kg buah pala a solution. You know pretty well what you are talking about. The losing legal battle of these poor and defenseless people are separate matters all together.

Do not hide behind the federal court ruling and say that you respect and uphold the rule of law.

The residents are now not talking about the decision of the federal court but they are talking about the soultion that you had promised them before the elections.

You know pretty well that the solution lies in the Land Acquisition Act but somehow now you talk about the ruling of the federal court and that you do not have powers to question the said ruling.

The only person in the state of Penang who can find the solution is you as you are the sole person under the above act who can acquire the land for these poor people. Let us not deviate to the court rulings or the wrongdoing of the previous government or Umno or this and that.

Those are separate matters which need to be addressed by the authorities in the country and as a parliamentarian, I would expect you to make a big hoo-ha in parliament on this and not foolishly try to deviate by attacking Hindraf.

Shame on you, Guan Eng as even as an ordinary layman, I can see your manipulation. Now coming back to the Land Acquisition act, perhaps you may want to read the following sections and seek proper legal help - Sections 3,8, 18,19,21,22,36,49,58,60 and 63.

Perhaps now that you sit in that mighty seat of yours, you have forgotten your promises because at the time of making those promises, you knew you wouldn’t fulfill them anyway so what the heck.

Yes, it may have been you that prevented the demolition of the Kg Buah Pala since last year. But you didn’t have to use your mighty powers to do that – only the power of persuasion that you hold as chief minister.

We may be simple people but we understand well the meaning and difference between the power of persuasion and the absolute powers you hold as a chief minister.

Thank you for providing all the minute details of the dealings between the previous CM and the Umno-linked company that smells of corrupt practice by the previous government. As a responsible CM, you should have lodged police reports against the BN culprits and not shift the blame onto Hindraf.

Guan Eng, look at the Act clearly- do you now fear the ‘rule of law’ that you highly spoke about?

It's funny that when it comes to protecting the poor and helpless, everything is decided arbitrarily but when it comes to the right of the capitalist developers the whole system is with them - the judiciary, the government and its machinery, police, lawyers, politicians and the latest is the ‘great political party which champions the rights of the people - DAP’.
