How did the current DAP/Pakatan Rakyat state government save the village from being demolished by the developer?
The current DAP/Pakatan Rakyat government never issued an eviction notice (under emergency laws). All eviction notices were issued by the previous Gerakan/BN government. Furthermore, the Deputy Chief Minister II, Y.B. Professor P. Ramasamy, and state executive council member, Y.B. Abdul Malik bin Abdul Kassim, have stopped the developer from entering the village with bulldozers several times last year when a court order was obtained. It was only because of the efforts of the present DAP/Pakatan Rakyat state government that Kampung Buah Pala still existed until 2009.
