It is usually a single month since a Ladang Bukit Jalil cabinet met a budding minister. Many people who saw a news of a cabinet eventually having a date with a PM would have concluded that a emanate of Ladang Bukit Jalil estate workers is over as good as done with. There was also a feeling that if a PM met them, definitely it would not be to defect them.
Now usually a single month later, a emanate of Ladang Bukit Jalil is still not resolved. The PM asked for a little time to investigate a issue. When a bureau of a absolute PM himself asks for some-more time to investigate a issue, it seems a complaint in hand is a complex one.
The assembly with a PM did not usually come so easily. The Bukit Jalil workers camped outward a PM's bureau until they got an appointment. After spending thirty hours, they eventually got news that a PM will give an appointment to encounter them. It was a climax of their long struggle.
Not receiving divided credit from Najib, a PM did actually encounter them (janji ditepati) yet there was initially a speculation that he will usually promise though not encounter them. A assembly was hold during a estate upon a night prior to of a PM's meeting. The feedback from a people during a assembly was that they were all really carefree that a emanate will be eventually resolved.
Politically, a Bukit Jalil emanate is ripped in a flesh emanate for a MIC as good as it is a single of a vital inhabitant emanate opposed them as a plight of a Bukit Jalil ex-plantation workers is a inhabitant concern. The emanate perceived lots of coverage in a Ta! mil dailies as good as sympath! y from m any Malaysian Indians. For a PM, it is critical for him to execute that he is permitted as good as is listening to a voices of a people.
Now a single month after a PM's meeting, a little fear has crept in. There is now a feeling that a PM's assembly was usually a play as good as once a election is over as good as if a BN come to power, afterwards they will have use of all their competence to explode a houses. There is many instances in story when civic bad houses being demolished usually after elections. Therefore any resolution to a Bukit Jalil estate workers has to be done now.
Legally Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has won a case. Only political vigour seems to have stop them from carrying out an eviction.
But again DBKL got a eviction order by saying that a ex-plantation workers were usually squatters as good as they used a draconian Emergency clearance of squatter ordinance upon these workers. But today, this law has been carried after Najib voiced a lifting of a 4 emergencies. It would demeanour really bad for DBKL to explode a homes regulating a Emergency statute today.
Stumbling block
Having said that, what is afterwards keeping a budding apportion for giving a former workers 4 acres of land out of a twenty-six acres of land that is currently available. There seems to be several factors that seem to be a stumbling block.
I lift 3 pertinent questions.
1. Not wanting to set a precedent
One of a main reasons since for not ancillary a Bukit! Jalil wo! rker's direct is that they do not wish to set a precedent. The DBKL as good as MIC think that it would be a bad precedent. DBKL has a story of not giving camp workers landed skill as good as they claim that many other kampong as good as a little estates will ask for landed skill if they were to give in.
Here once again capitalist seductiveness becomes a deciding factor. Though when a Government acquired Ladang Bukit Jalil (LBJ) in 1980, there were 1,800 acre! s. The s upervision upon acquiring a land, sold a land piece by piece to in isolation developers such as Berjaya group, Talam as good as Ho Hup.
The LBJ land was used to rise luxury houses, tolled highways as good as golf courses between others. Never did it cranky their thoughts that they contingency resolve first a housing needs of a community where they have been building a land.
Now after all a budding land being sold for profits, there sojourn currently twenty-six acres of land that they plan to have it in to a burial ground. What about those living?
What a Ladang Bukit Jalil ex workers have been asking is usually 4 acres of a final superfluous twenty-six acres. Why is there a complaint in giving in to these people? Why cannot a people who have been a longest upon a land be allocated land in a same place?
As you have been good aware, this nation was built upon a toil as good as scapegoat of, amongst others, hundreds of thousands of estate workers. Up to 1980s, a income from rubber as good as oil palm played a vital role in financing a dev! elopment ! of a country.
Our nation prospered, as good as camp companies reaped fanciful profits, though camp workers lived in contemptible misery as good as deprivation generated by below misery line wages as good as a many backward of wage structures. Four acres of land as a amicable wage to compensate for their contribution towards a nation is surely not as well many to ask for.
Why is afterwards that such a satisfactory as good as eminent thought of giving land to a bad as good as a many deserving being seen as bad precedent? Bad fashion in whose eyes? It seems that for a chosen classes, these have been bad precedents when budding land is since to bad people. And sadly BN as good as MIC share this vision.
It! is time to set good precedent. Will a statute celebration have a political will to do it?
2. The inner MIC energy play
It is no tip that MIC's Deputy FT Minister M Saravanan is strongly against a ex-workers removing a land. Saravanan was instrumental in removing a outrageous organisation of people to accept a relocation to a flats. Here once again, politicians inner seductiveness in assisting supporters as good as building bases override a subject of justice.
The Minister, Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin, himself acknowledged in an central matter that of a 71 who have moved to a flats, usually 10 have been former camp workers whilst a others have been 'squatters'. Whereas he settled that a superfluous 39 who have been still vital upon a estate have been all former camp workers.
These problems have been not new. In many cases, politician meddle in assisting their chosen people to get benefits, manoeuvre central census, help cronies etc! . In this! case, Saravanan's await base is in those who have moved to a flats. On a other hand, MIC Youth personality T Mohan has supported a 4 acres of land asked by a Bukit Jalil workers.
Now a subject being asked for those opposing a 4acres direct is - if you give land to a 41 families, what about those who have already left to a flats? This emanate is used to divide as good as order a people. Even now, those who have left a estates have been promised another bulk of compensation though with condition that usually if a superfluous 41 also supposed a flats offer.
It is time MIC come out in a open as good as state if they await Bukit Jalil workers removing 4 acres of land or not? In a Buah Pala incident, MIC fought so hard that a people there should be since a landed skill in a in isolation land. Here yo! u have b een articulate about supervision land. Why can't MIC put brazen a same argument here?
MIC boss G Palanivel also had referred to that civic hard times is worse than camp hard times as good as referred to those facing these problems go behind to a estates. Therefore it would usually have sense that they go behind to a piece of land or home that belongs to them in a community system. Giving Bukit Jalil camp workers that 4 acres will safety their community life.
Now a time is right for MIC to put a jot down straight. But it seems between Saravanan, Mohan as good as Subramaniam, they seems to have incompatible views as good as incompatible interest. It is time a MIC state their in front of clearly.
3. Najib a neo-liberal distinct his dad who was a amicable democrat?
During a assembly with a PM, Najib smiled when he was reminded about a Abdul Razak Hussein camp workers residence ownership scheme.
Razak afterwards introduced a single of a many remarkable solutions for camp misery - a estate workers residence ownership scheme. If this had been implemented in 1973, currently many camp workers will be staying in a landed skill like a Malay normal villagers, Felda intrigue participants as good as Chinese new villages.
But sadly 90 percent of all plantations as good as all a vital camp companies in that a Government had vital shares did not wish to exercise this scheme.
Razak lived in a cold fight epoch when he had to give in to many people orientated final like land reforms, felda scheme, introduce Socso, etc. The political left was many stronger then. Today Najib lives in a world who believes in TINA there is no alternatives. Najib is a absolute believer of new liberal capitalism. He promotes privatisation, cuts down subsidies as good as supports FTAs.
Therefore ideologically Najib will not await a Bukit Jalil direct for 4 acres. He has to import it really delicately as good as any consensus will be usually in a context of his political surv! ival. Th at is because he would need many time to investigate it prior to agreeing.
The final score?
Has a Bukit Jalil ex-estate workers resolution put a PM as good as a BN in a dilemma? It is a subject of whose interests have been they going to protect. Is i! t a peo! ple or profits? It would have been a foregone conclusion if BN was strong politically. Today they have been forced to cruise a final of a Ladang Bukit Jalil workers simply for their own survival.
It is going to be a formidable decision. The ex-workers have motionless to remind a budding apportion upon each 10th day of a month that they have been watchful for a final score.
Now usually a single month later, a emanate of Ladang Bukit Jalil is still not resolved. The PM asked for a little time to investigate a issue. When a bureau of a absolute PM himself asks for some-more time to investigate a issue, it seems a complaint in hand is a complex one.

The emanate perceived lots of coverage in a Ta! mil dailies as good as sympath! y from m any Malaysian Indians. For a PM, it is critical for him to execute that he is permitted as good as is listening to a voices of a people.
