Kampung Buah Pala is a small village in Penang, Malaysia inhabited mostly by Indians at Gelugor.
Something curious happened four years (2005) ago. The government stopped collecting rent for the Temporary Occupation License, arousing the residents’ suspicion that something was amidst. Unaware to them, the Executive Council of the then Chief Minister of Penang, Tan Sri Koh Tsu Koon, approved the sale of the land of Kampung Buah Pala to the Koperasi Pegawai Kerajaan Pulau Pinang on 18 August 2004 and a second time on 8 June 2005, for RM6.42 million, or RM20 per square feet. On the recommendation of the then Deputy Chief Minister, the premium of the land was halved to RM3.21 million or RM10 per square foot.
The residents claimed that these were carried out without their knowledge.
