吉民联分裂加剧 居林公正党恫言集体辞官
二零零九年七月三日 晚上十一时四十九分
（居林3日讯）公正党居林区党要向党中央发出最后通牒，若党中央在1个月内没有解决吉打州非巫裔社会的问题，将集体辞去市议员和村长官职，以示对党中央和州政府的不满！
居林区州议员林思年说，居林区公正党村长和市议员在会议上一致通过，要求党中央处理华、印裔社会课题，尤其是宰猪场拆除事件，若党还是持不理不睬的态度，市议员与村长将集体呈辞。
他说，居林州选区3名市议员朱茂年、张应财和维克拉曼、46名村长以及6名巴东色海区村长参与这项行动，大家对州政府执政以来实施对非巫裔社会不公平的政策深感不满。
不满政策不公
他强调，此举并不是恐吓党，而是要带给党一个强烈的讯息，反映出对党和州政府的不满。
林思年周四晚是在居林公正党支部党所与各族市议员和村长开会后，在记者会上发布这项消息。
大臣态度嚣张
被询及若是辞退官职后，回教党或委任该党成员接任这些官位，林思年表示，也由得他们了，辞官的党员并不在乎。
谈到吉州大臣拿督斯里阿兹然不会阻止吉州行动党退出民联一事，林思年说，大臣态度有些嚣张，虽然行动党在吉州只有一席，不过，该党也是民联成员之一，他强调，民联是由公正党、行动党和回教党所组成，必须给予成员党尊重。
他也提醒大臣，若是少了公正党，回教党主导的州政府不能执政吉打州。
“308大选民联执政吉打，不只是巫裔社会的支持，华、印裔族群也投下一票，然而如今非巫裔社会被边缘化，我也不太有信心民联会在下届大选胜出。”
建议6新地点 全部遭否决
对于宰猪场被拆问题，林思年说，民联华裔议员在过去向州政府建议6个宰猪场新地点，可惜全被拒绝，就连本同县的，也被本同县长否决申请。
他说，大臣宣称批准新宰猪场是县市议会主席的权力，林思年质疑州务大臣权限到那里，他表示，新宰猪场的申请一波三折，州政府似乎要把责任推卸给其他人。
另一方面，谈到拖欠村长津贴的问题，林思年说，据他向当局了解，村长津贴是4至6个月发出1次，而村长这6个月的津贴也即将发出。
他个人认为有关拖欠津贴事件，或是吉打州财务出现状况，他说，据可靠消息，州库的2千万令吉已用了将近一半，惟这项消息有待查证。
若不能为民解困 当官失意义
居林市议员朱茂年、张应财和村长陈振发异口同声说，若非巫裔社会问题不获解决，就算保留官职，也毫无意义！
他们说，其责任是为民解困，若是人民问题久久不能解决，那么继续当议员或村长又有什么意思。
“我们不是要威吓党和州政府，只是要他们解决问题。”

LIM GUAN ENG IS A BLATANT LIAR
I refer to the Statement of Penang Chief Minister on Malaysiakini today throwing various wild allegations against Hindraf .
I wish to reply as follows:
He has lied and mislead the Malaysian public that Hindraf had "lied"that acquiring Kg.Buah Pala would cost the State Government RM 30 Million.
He further misleads in his statement implying that Hindraf had represented that the State Government could acquire the Kg below the market value.
The above statements by Lim Guan Eng is an absolute and blatant lie deliberately calculated to mislead the Malaysian public and divert from the real issue staring at him.
It was his own Political Secretary that had issued a statement yesterday (malaysiakini) that it would cost the state RM30 million to compensate the developers.
However we are aware of his posting on a blog and widely circulated in the emails that it costs more than tens of millions to do so.
My point is simple- where did Guan Eng get this ridiculus sum from? Why is he putting the cart before the horse? Perhaps he is not getting proper advise from his State Legal Adviser or perhaps his arrogance has cloded his mind. The necessary procedures which are lenghty and elaborate are clearly provided for in Section 18-35 Land Acquisation Act. The amount of compensation to be paid are to be assessed by the Land administrator after valuations and survey. If the amount of compensation awarded by the Land administor is not acceptable by the Developer then he would have to rely on provisions of Section 36-51 of the Land Acquisation Act where the Court would determine the appropriate compensation with the assistance of assessors.
So why is he now blaming HINDRAF for his ignorance of the Law. He has to justify how his Political Secretary came up with RM30 million or even his own Statement that it would cost more than "tens of Millions". Instead he is trying to divert from the real issue.
He further states " the forcible acquisation of Kg Buah Pala involving developed land would be of frightening magnitute and the State Government did not have the financial capability to do so".
Guan Eng is definately a liar and hoodwinking the public. Kg Buah Pala is not a developed land in the first place. I may be thousands of miles away but i will vouch it is a yet to be developed land and the developers had done nothing on the piece of land as yet. So WHAT IS HE FRIGHTENED ABOUT. The villagers have been occupying the land for 200 years and the land is developed in this modern day as a cultural village by the poor and defenceless people of Penang with their own sweat and blood. If the land is worth hundreds of millions of Ringgit because it is developed then the compensation should be to the owners as they are the real developers of the land at the present moment.
Guan Eng claims that the land which is believed to be transfered under dubious manner by the previous BN Government is the fault of the previous Government. But he must remember that the actual transfer of the said land had occured during his tenure as the Chief Minister.
If the previous Government had made a fraudulent deal then he is part of the fraudulent transaction for having sanctioned the transfer after he became the Chief Minister.
The need of a roof over one's head is a basic neccessity just like food and clothing. These poor people have been there with a little space/compound (for their children to play) and a safe roof for 200 years in a piece of land given to them on trust by the Brown family. So why now rob them of the basic necessity? Guan Eng had also lied that the people was offered compensation of RM200,000 and that many had accepted the offer and moved.But in actual fact they were offered RM90,000 by developers far below market value and which is insuffient for them to buy a new property in any part of Penang and the actual number of houseowners who accepted the shortchanged deal were 7 and not many as claimed by Guan Eng ( 5 Malay families and 2 Indian families). As far as i am concerned he is a heartless man for lying and colluding with the developers in uprooting these people with a peanut offer of RM90,000. The villagers had clearly stated that it is not an issue of compensation but a matter of preserving their peaceful existence in their hereditary cultural living over a safe roof. The basic need of a safe roof is a fundamental Human Right. As a responsible Chief Minister and a man who claims to lead the Democratic Party he should be the first to protect and preserve their homes but instead robbing them of thier basic necessity and Human dignity. HINDRAF would vigourously resist any attempt to take away this fundamental right and dignity even if it means ending our friendship with DAP.
Yes I agree HINDRAF has been infiltrated by BN stooges and Police Special Branch which is trying hard to break the Movement. But i will not sit idle and see him destroy the fundamental right in the name of development of not only Indian Community but of any community for the matter.
HINDRAF calls upon other Pakatan Coalition leaders to advice this heartless Chief Minister.
