PICKET IN LONDON-UNITE IN SOLIDARITY TO SUPPORT PRESERVATION OF KG BUAH PALA PENANG

Dear HINDRAF UK Supporters,

Many of you may by now be aware of the plight of our sisters and brothers in the Kg. Buah Pala saga which face the danger of demolition by the capitalist developers supported by the Penang State Government led by the DAP.

The Brown Family as a trust land handed this heritage village of 200 years to the villagers’ descendents. Somehow the land was mysteriously under dubious circumstances sold to a Government Co-operative Society by the previous BN Government. However the actual land transfer took place after the DAP Government came into power. The DAP Government proceeded to transfer the said land to the new owners despite the objection of the villagers and a senior lawyer and is now working hand in glove with the developers to evict the lawful villagers. Prior to the last elections the DAP had promised the villagers they would hand the land back to them should they come into power. More than 300 villagers face demolition come 3rd August 2009.

LET US UNITE IN SOLIDARITY AND SHOW OUR SUPPORT FOR THE VILLAGERS.

WE WILL ORGANISE A PICKET TO SEND A CLEAR MESSAGE FOR THE PROTECTION OF OUR FELLOW INDIANS AND OUR LAST REMAINING HERITAGE VILLAGE IN MALAYSIA.

DATE : 1st AUGUST 2009 (SATURDAY)

TIME : 10.30 AM

VENUE: MALAYSIA TOURIST OFFICE
TRAFALGAR SQUARE

A resident of the village will be present to represent the villagers.
