Taman Manggis Fiasco

I had urged both a DAP led Penang state supervision as well as a Penang Barisan Nasional not to politicize a Taman Manggis land. Taman Manggis, a tiny 1.1 hactare plot of land formerly earmarked for low price housing was creatively sole tothe Kuala Lumpur International Dental Centre to build as well as work a in isolation hospital.

Penang BN had accused a state supervision for offered next a marketplace price. Political secretary to a Chief Minister Ng Wei Aik sent an offer minute to a Penang BN to sell a land for RM22 million.

Penang BN deputy Oh Tong Keong as well as his commission went to a state administrative bureau to compensate a 1% engagement price as well as he was since a month to solve a rest of a amount. The period was extended to 3 months after many hue as well as cry over a S&P completion period.

The state supervision was accused of offered a land it does not own since KLID had affianced a land to a monetary institution. Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng insisted which a state supervision is still a legitimate owner of a land. His bureau has circulated a minute from KLID purportedly allowing a state supervision to sell a land to another celebration as long as a state supervision agrees to pay for their price as well as legal expenses.

On a Penang BN side, a make a difference took another embarrassing turn afterKhoo Boo Soon, director of Taman Manggis Phase II Developmentsaid which a association was a in isolation entity as well as not meddlesome in personification politics.

His matter was in major dispute with a state BN's debate to take a land for public housing.


Khoo has indicated which his association intends to price a units during we est! imate RM 400 per sqft; putting a units beyond a strech of many low income family groups in a state. With a extent of 87 units per hactare fixed by a internal authority, a project is not approaching to achieve anything some-more than 90 units.

Khoo was ticked off by Penang BN chief Teng Chang Yeow who insisted which Khoo is not certified to confirm upon a type of housing to be constructed.

The whole episode is a disaster for politicians from both sides of a divide.

Again, Teng is barking during a wrong tree. He is still disputing either a state supervision or KLID is a tangible seller. Does it matter? The many critical thing is there is an meddlesome seller during RM22 million for a 1.1 hactare land. If a monetary backers pull out, it is going to be huge annoyance for Teng as well as Penang BN.

On a alternative hand, it appears to me which a DAP led supervision is some-more concerned about scoring domestic points than ! securing ! a interest of a people. The supervision should have retracted a sale once it is clear which KLID has unsuccessful to acquire an capitulation to set up a in isolation hospital. The land is reserved for low price housing.

It is silly to indicate which low income earners should not be allowed to stay in a city centre. It is wanton as well as irresponsible to indicate which low price housing scheme may turn a city centre in to a slum as well as drag down real estate worth around a area.

Taman Manggis should not be used as a conflict section for both Pakatan as well as BN. They should take their battles to a list boxes.

Perhaps it would be improved for a challenger Teng Chang Yeow to face a incumbent CM Lim Guan Eng in a public debate upo! n who ha s a improved plan as well as prophesy for Penang. It would be some-more productive than removing entangled in a Taman Maggis fiasco.
