Kampung Mutiara demolition called off for safety reasons
…
The planned eviction of Kampung Mutiara villagers in Batu Ferringhi today has been postponed for safety reasons, police said.
It is learned that plans to demolish the houses were postponed for a month following a court order.
The situation had been tensed after villagers had threatened to form a human barricade to stop bulldozers from entering their village and demolishing their homes.
In making the announcement at the village before the 350 villagers, George Town police chief Mior Faridalathrash Wahid said the court had allowed the demolition of the homes to be postponed for another month.
Shouts of Allahuakhbar (God is greater) could be heard throughout the village as the news was announced, The Star Online reported.
The Star Online had earlier reported Batu Ferringhi JKKP chairman Ismadi Abu Bakar as saying that about 69 families from 42 families would be affected if the demolition took place.
“We were tipped off by the police last night at around 8.30pm and (Bukit Bendera MP) Zairil (Khir Johari) and Cheu (Tanjung Bungah assemblyman Teh Yee Cheu) came around 10pm.
“The police also told us to calm down and advised us not to interrupt,” he was quoted as saying.
Light Strike Force and plainclothes policemen were spotted patrolling the area as villagers began gathering at the entrance of Kampung Mutiara as early as 7am today.

GEORGE TOWN: Kampung Mutiara villagers have been given a second temporary reprieve from having their homes torn down following a vacant possession order by the landowner.
