Barisan Nasional Land Grabs

Little Bird

Friends, another major land grab is unfolding. Last week, the Gomen announced that the mouth-watering strip of land in Lembah Pantai known as University of Malaya will be redeveloped. Details are always made fuzzy in cases like this but this is the age of Islam Hadhari. So the figures must necessarily run into the billions. Over RM4 billion approximately (give or take a few hundred million) is believed to be involved in this University Malaya land grab.

Land grabs and land scams seem to be the favoured modus operandi under the Islam Hadhari administration of Abdullah Badawi.

As late as last June, the Gomen maintained that the mouth-watering strip of land in Lembah Pantai would not be redeveloped. Also, too many University Malaya alumni who occupy important positions in the country kicked up a fuss. But it looks like they are not influential anymore.
