The (ahem) alleged dipping of greedy hands into public coffers and land reared its ugly head again with this piece of news today.
Curious though as to why this featured in the Metro instead of the national pages. Hmmm…
There are some nice aerial-view pictures, too, ala a dentist and former Selangor MB’s multi-million Shah Alam’s home expose some time ago.
From the article, it sure looks as though the alleged dipper (heh) had decided to “fu*&ing GungHo” it with regards a disputed land for public use to come up with some nice, beautiful, unaffordable to the masses, homes.
The report mentions some VIP as well, alas, minus their glorious names, as owners of these homes.
This land dipping allegation, however, show up a certain political solidarity with PKR, Umno and MIC in the thick of things notwithstanding the existence of the so-mentioned VIPs.
Kudos to them, I say.
I wonder what can be done against the alleged offender in this case. We’ve seen a fair share of illegally constructed building (mostly miniscule ones, though) being torn down in the past by local authorities.
Would Dewan Bandaraya similarly take a “fu*&ing GungHo” approached IF the encroachment is indeed illegal? Will it?
I seriously doubt so.
Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing Minister Datuk Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin was quoted in the report as saying that action will be taken in the matter against the alleged offender.
What kind of action? As paraphrased: “a notice would be issued to the developer”.
Sure makes you want to holler out loud until tears gush down your red, flushed cheeks, doesn’t it?
Expect the case to go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on…
Yep. No ending in sight.
Like I said, it’s pretty much status quo in Malaysia.
Déjà Vu, even.
