According to Malaysiakini, Kampung Buah Pala residents overwhelmingly decided that lawyer Darshan Singh Khaira must be brought along when they attend the meeting with the Penang Chief Minister Thursday night.
The resident committee also decided that they will always take their legal adviser Darshan Singh to any meeting with the state government officials.
This Darshan Singh looks familiar to me, now that I am rooted in Penang... and had just shared a bottle of Australian shiraz at The Penang Club.
Since the Kg Buah Bala residents had chosen a lawyer, I checked The Malaysian Bar Council website. It revealed something that The Star reported on August 23, 2007.
Court declares lawyer a bankrupt ... from the Malaysian Bar Council website
Meanwhile, my colleague Komtar state assemblyman Ng Wei Aik has launched a poll on the Penang DAP website asking for public opinion on whether the state should use Penangites' money to acquire the 2.6ha village land that Kg Buah Pala resides.
As at 8:15pm Tuesday, 87% of the 356 respondents said “no” when asked whether the state government should acquire the land even if it costs more than RM100mil.
All the best, High Chaparral. Good night and good luck.
