Could this be the lifeline that could save Kampong Buah Pala from demolition on 2 Aug? This adds to the uncertainty being faced by the developer. This excerpt from a Sun report:
The Kampung Buah Pala saga took a twist today when the state government revealed a trump card in its bid to protect villagers from an impending demolition after the Aug 2 eviction deadline.
Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng showed reporters a provision under section 116 of the National Land Code that stipulates a building on alienated land cannot be demolished, altered or extended without prior consent in writing of the appropriate authority.
Lim said although a writ of possession had been served on the villagers, the developer still needed local government approval to conduct demolition of the houses.
“I am directing the land and mines office to refer this matter to the courts,” Lim said at a press conference in his office.
