Kampung Buah Pala, Who are the losers?

Today Star news saying that the bulldozers are ready to demolish the houses soon. While the FRU also come and standby by there. Most of the villagers have rejected the double-storey house proposal. Only 5 of them have agreed to move out.

This is the best offer I had seen. The double storey house in Penang is worth from RM400k-RM500k. Especially, the Buah Pala is located in the center of Penang. Most of Penangite work for life also will never able to buy a double storey house.

The compensation will never be so good if no state government involvement in it. My father's good friend's house had also been demolished by a developer in Paya Terubong a few months ago. His house was a double storey house with 2000-3000 sf. He has run back and forth seeking for politicians' help. No one is willing to help. What he got for the compensation? Only RM20k!

Ironically, most villagers have rejected the double storey house and continue to ask for more. Do they think that they are at the winner side?
