Mad man always issue mad statement, because of Kampung Buah Pala, you ask Unesco to abandon George Town as heritage.

why has others Penangnite has to suffer just because of your EGO ?

Friends , you are loosing support and loosing it faster than you can imagine.

I suppose many will agreed you are just a trouble-maker and a clown to create hassle for PR
thinking UMNO goverment would not arrest you. Many can read your Childish mentality.

Now, P Utha wanted to involve unesco for a tiny issue. Why not involve Obama, Micheal Jackson, Mugabe, Ronaldo, Thacher, Susan, Foreman and more. The more the merrier.

Penang having UNESCO because it has Indian settlement? Was Penang originally part of India?
I hope the government (BN in Federal, or PR in Penang) do something to help the Indians. Improve their education level - make concessions if we must - so they won't continue to be divided and exploited by people like Uthayakumar. The Indians are citizens too. They must be helped to help themselves.

Ask BN to buy the piece of land back bcos it was BN more who sold the land in the first instance you bloody idiot. After a stint in Hilton Kamunting you seem to be out of sorts. What did they do to you whilst you were in there. Yes go ahead and write your petition to revoke Penang heritage status and why not carbon copy to Queen Elizabeth. That might help you get Penang lose its the heritage status. Good luck and godspeed Uthayakumar.

Developing Kampung Buah Pala’s culture, heritage and history to draw more tourists to the island??

Plantation workers and cowherds and cows can draw tourists????

hahahahahahahahahaha

Sorry! DAP only act when they are not in power. DAP is not running Kedah Government, only Penang government.

What has buah pala got to offer? Draw tourists? To see what? Cow dungs? As if there are no cows in their countries? What we have to offer are the squatter houses..that's all!!
Mr. Uthaya, if your father had sold off his land legally, how are you to snatch it back from the purchaser? Cry and hope to get sympathy to get back the land, try again.

Rather than undertakes the necessary research to make his case to Unesco, why not undertake the necessary research to make a meaningful proposal which is workable and acceptable to all parties to resolve the Kampung Buah Pala crisis. Do not forget about the court judgment. The cost should be minimal. So on and so on............................

P. Uthayakumar will call on the United Nations to revoke George Town’s listing as a World Heritage site.
--------------

Now he is trying to destroy and bring down Penang, he is against the whole Penang!!!

Very nice way to get support from Penang people, hahahaha.

The Indians in Kg. Buah Pala deserved this predicament because they trusted MIC for so long. Hindraf is losing a lot of goodwill by unfairly forcing LGE to resolve it when knowingly BN has a hand in preventing everything LGE was trying to do.

Bro, go join BN and be offered a post of minister.

"While Uthayakumar acknowledges it was the former BN state government which had allowed the land to be sold to a private developer, he maintains it’s the current government who must find a solution."

BN had allowed the land to be sold to a private developer. Why the residents are not camping and protesting outside the BNs office or MICs office?

The only way the current government can find a solution is to repurchase the land. But that would mean cost. Cost to the goverment means tax payers money. If Hindraf is in Mr.Lim's position, how would they solve the issue? Lets be fair.......to everyone

instead of pressuring the cm, why not send a memorandum to pressure the unmo linked developer to seek to move elsewhere without ripping off the state government (which ultimately would also at the taxpayers' expense) because the ball is on their court? the penang government is contractually bond to fulfilled their obligation, thanks to the former government.

this case is akin to johorean pressuring the government not to sell water to singapore when the wheel can only be set in motion by the later agreeing to it rather than the former. these people just dont understand

Why are they doing this? Why is Uthaya trying to complicate things? Why is he trying to mix two totally different issues together and make it one?

Kg Buah Pala is now a privately held land and its title is in developer's hand. The land was sold by BN state government to the developer. Bear in mind that the land was never owned by the residents. YET, the developer did offer compensation to the residents, in which majority of them took the offer and moved on.

So what can be done by state government? Fork out tens of millions to buy back the land from the developer, which the developer may never agree?

On the other hand, the nature of A Setar pig abbatoir issue is totally different. Being the only abbatoir in Kedah state, it was requested by state government (note: State Government and NOT private developer) to move to another site, BUT, the new site was never identified. (There was once rumoured that State government will allocate a site in B Selambau, which is at least 60-80kms away and very remote, for this purpose).

This issue, to many people in Kedah, is clearly religiously and politically motivated.

Uthaya, as a lawyer, should know the difference between the two issues. He shouldnt try to twist around facts.

Worse, Uthaya shouldnt try to detroy the status of Penang as World Heritage Site, which is the pride of not only Penang and Malacca residents, but the people of Malaysia as well.

How about Utahya offer 1:1 contribution of a few millions to buy back Kg Buah Pala?

This man (Uthayakumar) should just call and talk with Lim Guan Eng. The DAP is not like UMNO-BN, Please do remember that Uthayakumar does not represent the whole Indian community in Malaysia. Uthayakumar, if you are reading this please have a proper dialog session with Lim Guan Eng to resolve the issues. Don't be a Mad Man on the street.

Uthayakumar is free to write to Unesco or any world organization. But will they listen to him? I am greatly amused by his joke.

Just wondering whether UNESCO will even bother about Uthayakumar? They might not want to even waste their time on some unknown. Ha, ha, ha.

Uthaya, reading your comments, I notice the similarities between you and Khairy, that is to say both of you are talking "COCK AND BULL" trying to score political points and make yourself look more important!!!

As some one has pointed out earlier, why don't you offer a fair solution to the woes of the Indians community to the state Gomen?

I don't know what ISA has done to this man. Some had emerged stronger, wiser, more resilient, spirits & souls intact. Some, sadly became unstable, broken, never the same again. And some would have made a deal with the devil. Be careful. Be very, very careful Penangites. This is a political issue.

Guys,

this guy is in oblivion for too long......siow liow. He must do something to come back. Forgive him and ignore him.

Hindraf leaders have change since their release. I feel something wrong with hindraf like it has lost it's direction. I feel that there are out there to distroy PR.

Why UNESCO ? Go to the British Parliment and request compensation for bringing the Indians to Penang and not taking care of them.

Hindraf is using treat. This is no good especially to fellow Malaysia over a Kampung issue. This is purely internal issue that does not require international intervention. Hello !

We can say whatever about UMNO,BN but DAP is more racist . I have been out of a job for the past 6 months and I can tell you that most of the Chinese headhunters have been so racially biased. I rather work with Malays than the chinese. Can you imagine what would happen if PR comes into power!!!!

Sejak bila pulak kampung haram kaum india kena preserve kat Malaysia ni? Melambak-lambak lagi... Dont think this is the Last kampung haram india di Malaysia anyway! Kampung melayu pun dah banyak yang kena kebas dek kerajaan and/or developer as nama pembangunan. Kat negara india pun kalau dah kampung haram illegal, dont think will be preserved! Pakai UNESCO pulak tu.... Utayakumar ni pasal nak cari publicity murah ........

Put your money where your mouth is Uthaya and do it.

Maybe, a better idea is why not with your popularity riding high now, organise a charity drive to buy back the land for the villagers. Not counting the other races, who according to those in the drama are useless and self serving, on the indian population alone, not counting the wealth of the richest indian in malaysia, you should at least be able to raise RM30/- million?

That maybe, will resolve the matter and raise your popularity to at least demi god?

P. Uthayakumar could have been bought over by Najis the corrupted BN government - BN has lots of sinful money that they sucked from Rakyat to buy over people to attack and create havoc upon PR!! I am not surprised!

I may not agree with Mr Uthayakumar action, but pls tell me from bottom of your heart if this was Malay village or a Chinese village, will you all be sitting and making sarcastic comments. I had my share of experience with the main 2 races and i can say some of the are actually wolf dressed up in monks clothing. They will come and stick to you like leech during election but after that they will open up and show their true characters. Pls ask the low level and the down trodden Indians what they think and feel and you are in for surprise. So DAP, pls watch out, you will be next to thrown out!!!! if you can't behave and act with socail n moral responsibility

Best thing is to resign............ remember we voted you to solve the problems and not pass the buck.
Resign........

FYI ,
the whhole of PEnang itself and the whole of Malaysia itself has got nothing to offer to tourists, evry thing in this country has only packaged nicely to be promated to the tourists, via promtions and so on. In essence they are nothing. Just think of all those HOMEstays in villages, new and traditional, are they actually somthing of world satndrds, there are dozens of them in Perak, run by Malays and Chinese. What do they have the Mona Lisa? Blue mosque? Great Wall? nothing. Just chickens running all over the place and of course cows. There was also talk of turning tht Pomelo orchards in Tambun into a tourist attraction. Something along the same lines as tht of Homestays and agro tourism. Wht is ridiculous, these very ppl who look down on a settlement of Indian dairy farmers, would thousands of RM to visit dairy farms on a package tour to NZ and Australia. McA talked of evan starting homestay progrrammes in New Villages and eventually turning them into tourist attraction. I live In a town which has many New Villages (u can guess which one as I have given some clues aerlier part) and I can tell they are just as terrible as any village in the Indian Subcontinent. Oh I forgot to mention those Felda homestays, If you've watched Lurah Bilut ypu would nw these setelments were no t CluB med. yet with govt funds and aid, now they somehow become tourist attractions!

As for tht abbatoir issue,
PAS has just teated DAp ppl as budak suruhans, I think ppl, typical of Kedahans to treat the minority like tht. If you have been with them you would know. The problem is not with PAS' Islamic credentials, its whether some in it can shake off racialism which is virulent in every thing in this country. Every matter is viewed through racial lenses first even religious matters by Malaysians. Thank God Bukit Selambau is remote or what the Malays, Thais and Chinese didn't would've been with an Indian settlement. (Bkt Selembau is constituency which has one of the highest g;e of Indian voters in Kedah)
