Another set back but we will persevere!

It looks like our determination is being tested again. Do we have the stamina and willpower to stay on course to get back what is rightfully ours? Some have dithered but others are as determined as ever, even as we face another hurdle again. We made a tiny headway when the Public Complaints chief Dato' T. Murugiah decided to take up our cause. Our hopes were raised when he called the parties involved to the table. But then problems cropped up. The Dato' is now facing some problems of his own and fighting for his political survival. We pray that he comes out of his fight a winner.

So it looks like we are back to square one but then there are more than one way to get round a problem. We are looking into other avenues so guys, hang on tight. Keep the faith.

Face To Face

It is heartening to note that the Public Complaints Bureau is pro-active and has kept to its word of arranging a meeting between the various parties concerned. The various groups met on May 4 in Putrajaya, but unfortunately Dato' T. Murugiah was unable to attend the meeting as he had an emergency meeting.

Chairing the meeting was En. Aziz and those present were representatives from Yeng Chong, MBSB, the Malacca Land Office and other agencies. And of course reps from BGVAC were there.

For the first time we managed to get the main parties, namely Yeng Chong and MBSB, to sit down with us to have a face-to-face. We have been trying to do that since 2004 but was unsuccessful. So it is a step forward for us, although we have still a long way to go. However, we are tenacious and will not be giving up, even if the going is tough.

Yeng Chong has agreed to hand over to the PCB the list of purchasers and MBSB will release to us the cause papers that will show us the transactions and cash position in the joint Yeng Chong/MBSB account.

All we want is our refund, even if there is a court case going on. Isn't it justified that whoever took the buyers' cash, for whatever purpose, should pay us back the cash? We do not have to wait for the outcome of the court case... unless the cash is no longer in the joint account. And this would mean what? We will then have to take another course of action. So we are anxiously waiting for the cause papers to be released to us.

En. Aziz mentioned to MBSB representatives to bring the issue of purchasers up to their Board of Directors. They agreed.

Whatever it is, we will persevere and come up with a different course of action to make ourselves heard.

We may look like kittens, but don't awaken the lion in us...
