Broken promises of the PAS Kelantan state government to Chinese communities
Broken promises of the PAS Kelantan state government to Chinese communities
The issue of ethnicity and races has come back to haunt people once again. Time and again it raises its ugly head in Malaysia which consists of the Malays, Indian and Chinese as its major inhabitants.
In a very interesting story it was found that most of the Chinese communities are annoyed due to the broken promises being made by the Kelantan state government. Many people are accusing the state government for supporting non-locals for land distribution. The Chinese community in particular is angry with the decision of the state government to give away the part of land, which was kept reserved for Malaysians of Chinese origin has been given to greedy developers. Some of the areas where non- Malays are allowed to grow land are kora Baru and Kuala Krai. The complaint is simple: the Chinese origin people are not getting their due share of land. This land which originally belonged to them is being given away to large foreign companies and greedy developers.
There are some traditionally important artifacts like a 500 year old Guanyin and some cave temples temple which is the primary focus region for the villagers living in that area which is called Kampung Pulai. According to the local folk living there they have piles of complaints against local authorities who are busy in driving them out of their homes. This village has been home to many Chinese and Siamese people and actually many of these are linked with this village through their ancestral roots and it is completely painful for them to leave this place and wander about in total insecurity. The villagers have already discussed that the younger generation are seeking for better opportunities in cities and this village is becoming an “old house” bearing only old and wretched people. The people of this place are also waiting for the revival of the Kampung Pulai Chinese School which surely needs some attention and some pretty renovations.
In another incident similar restless responses were raining on state government who are constantly being accused of allowing authorizations to outsiders in the private lands of the local villagers. Their primary concern is that these large corporations are eyeing these lands and are easily acquiring them and that too large acres are allotted to them but the locals who inhabitate these lands are not even allowed for smaller plots. But according to the Commerce and Unity chairman of State Entrepreneurial Development, Datuk Anuar Tan Abdullah the story seems to be rubbish and further explains the situation as a procedural delay in terms of the list the organization receives. He explained the situation by saying that smaller lands are allocated to smaller organizations and bigger organizations get larger areas of land because of their capacity to turn the ground into financial stakes and also offering heavy employment in return.
This thing when concluded seems to be the long lasting problem where industrialization and globalization face a very cruel task of wiping out generations in turn of financial betterments.
