The Waiting Game

The pro-tem committee was looking forward to listen to what MBSB had to say about their involvement in the failed land scheme. The corporate lawyer called to say they were willing to meet a few of the committee members, together with their lawyers and a company executive. However, at the eleventh hour, she called to say the meeting was postponed as they had urgent matters to attend to. Of course, we were not important. We are just the bugs that have been pestering them for a meeting. Anyway, it has been a week since the postponement... no new date has been fixed. All we want to know is what happened to the money that we paid into the Yeng Chong/MBSB account. We have been asked to follow the money trail... hope it has not gone cold.

Meanwhile the Malacca reps seemed embroiled in their own problems to care about the common people. We are also waiting for a meeting. Sigh!

We are looking for a powerful person who will help us take more tough action!!! Any volunteers? We will be able to repay you when we get back our money. The land should be worth a lot of money now. We just hope that it will not be grabbed from right under our noses!!!

The going is tough!

Progress to seek redress is tough-going as most of the pro-tem committee members have a day job and are particularly busy this time of the year. Let's hope our fight to get back our land is not in danger of being just another elusive dream. We seem to have hit a brick wall and can only convince ourselves to be patient. We have waited ten years, so what is another few months?

The "big shots" are now busy with the three by-elections coming up and we doubt they will have the time of day for some victims of a land deal gone sour! All the political parties are treating the by-elections as the general election and the everyone is feverishly campaigning. All other things would have to take a back seat. It is bad news for us as we await word to get a meeting with the political representative.
