Kampung Buah Pala residents have rejected the double-storey house offer made by developer Nusmetro Ventures Sdn Bhd to vacate their homes. Its residents association chairman M. Sugumaran said there are too many loopholes in the offer.
Kampung Buah Pala is a small village in Bukit Gelugor, Penang. It is inhabited mostly by Indians who are the descendants of plantation workers and cattlemen of the former Brown Estate. The village is popularly nicknamed High Chaparral due to its elevated location on Bukit Gelugor. The Brown Estate used to cover much of what is known today as Gelugor and Minden.
It was one of the estates belonging to the family of David Brown, the biggest property owner on Penang Island in the 19th century. The Brown properties included vast tracts of plantation land in Ayer Rajah (today the leafy residential neighbourhood of Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman), Sungai Ara (nowadays Taman Kenari) and even Strawberry Hill on Penang Hill.
