GEORGE TOWN: Bukit Gelugor Barisan Nasional coordinator Datuk Koay Kar Huah will help look into the plight of residents of 465 houses in Bukit Gelugor who want the land to be converted from leasehold to freehold.
He said that he and Bukit Gelugor MCA division legal advisor Teh Beng-Yeam would advise the residents.
Speaking at a dialogue with the residents at the Tarbiah Islamiah religious school in Lebuhraya Bingham in Gelugor, Koay, who is state MCA advisor, said he would raise the matter with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin during their visit to Penang on Feb 11 and Feb 5 respectively.
The association’s chairman K. Chandra Mohan said according to Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, the National Land Council (NLC) had rejected the state government’s application to convert the land. He claimed Lim had told the residents this during a dialogue with them on Saturday.
To this, Koay urged the residents to provide him with the letter by the NLC which was allegedly given to the state government. - The Star
