The Land Acquisition Act 1960 was enacted to enable the supervision to have compulsory merger of land from the people for infrastructural as well as open projects. It was meant for roads, schools, hospitals as well as open amenities.
Then came Dr Mahathir Mohamad who, in 1991, nice the act to enable state governments to take land as well as afterwards alienate such land to the in isolation zone for property development.
Since then, Barisan Nasional state governments have been abusing as well as exploiting the Act to launch land grabs for their unabated profiteering agenda.
For example, in Johor's Pengerang where the RM60 billion Petronas Oil Refinery as well as Petrochemical Integrated Complex (Rapid) is located, the Johor Petroleum Development Corporation Bhd (JPDC) has used the Act to take 22,500 acres during an average of RM2.80 psf.
That is enough to buy 3 pieces of roti canai. According to property valuers, the stream cost of land in Pengerang is about RM12 psf.
The large question: Why did Johor Menteri Besar Ghani Othman authorize the merger of 22,500 acres when the Rapid petrochemical refinery as well as complex indispensable usually 6,000 acres?
The answer is clear, because some land has already been alienated to the in isolation developer to build houses.
Rapid is set to clean out six mosques, eleven surau, 9 non-Muslim eremite st! ructures , 5 inhabitant schools, 5 Islamic eremite schools, 3 SJKCs (Chinese inhabitant type schools), 3 supervision quarters, 3 farming clinics, dual police stations, eleven Muslim cemeteries, seven non-Muslim cemeteries as well as 9 community halls.
The BN is additionally deceiving the rakyat by claiming which Rapid will benefit Pengerang residents when it is usually benefiting BN-Umno cronies.
What's all the drop for? It all points to greed as well as profiteering during the responsibility of the people, in this box the Malays who mislaid their customary land.
Why must the BN state supervision take land belonging to individual Malay villagers when it can cruise the vast marks of land belonging to corporations, conglomerates as well as the state in south Johor?
Project in Gelang Patah
Now, there is the Business Times report patrician "RM12b Sunway review city in Johor". Many have benefited from BN-Umno's gravy sight as well as the ultimate to get the share of this is Sunway.
The land, belonging often to Malays in Gelang Patah, was acquired during usually 64 sen psf from about 10,000 Malay villagers from seventeen kampungs.
It is clear the BN supervision abused as well as used the Act to grab the land as well as afterwards alienated it to Umno's UEM Bhd for property as well as infrastructure play.
Up to now, the open is not told how dear infrastructure for Nusajaya had been, to whom as well as during what cost awards were since out.
So most for Umno's Ketuanan Melayu (Malay Supremacy) or Umno's Pembela Melayu (Defender of Malays), etc.
