Letter from KGR Action Committee To PM's Office

Letter to PM's Office

Before the General Elections I submitted a complaint to you which you have said you will look into but until now there is no response.

To recap our KGR members problem; Danaharta through Prokhas has sold off this property to Uji Dunia and the deal is been for nearly 2 years but still no conclusion. We are very suspicious at the nature of this deal. Secondly while the wheeling and dealing is going on members should be allowed to use the golf course.

We members are also interested to take over and convert it to a member's club which will then preserve the environment.
When we look at KGR situation we realise that there is no protection for other members of other golf clubs .Should the owner decide to close shop and sell the land to a developer there goes your license fee.

We trust the government will help to look into this. Find out why the deal is lopsided and taking so long.

Thank you.

Latest News - by KGR Action Committee Chairman

On 13.5.2008, a letter was sent by the state government to Uji Dunia
(the purchaser) inviting them to meet with our committee to discuss
about their intentions for Kristal Golf Resort. Unfortunately they are
not interested to meet up with us. Tell us to talk to Danaharta. I
think they are being very arrogant to even snub the new state
government.

On 26.06.08 the committee had a meeting with YB Ng Wei Aik
representing our CM YB Lim Guan Eng . We had a fruitful meeting
explaining the full situation from the beginning. It was positive from
the state government as the zoning of Kristal will not be converted
from recreation to development. Instructions will be given to Land
Office and MPSP. We also highlighted that this case not only affects
the KGR members but the golfing community throughout Malaysia as any
propriety club can just close up, sell their land for property
development without having to compensate their members.

This is serious message to our members, legally our case is very weak,
we have to come together, cooperate and support each other. We need
to use people power to win this . Makkal Sakthi. Please inform all
KGR members and all your friends who are golfers even from other
clubs to come and support our cause and course of action. Don't let a
precedent be set otherwise they may end up the same way as KGR's
members.

Watch out for further news. We will also be posting the committee's
collections and accounts soon for member's to view.

Thanks,

Billy Yeo
CHAIRMAN
KGR Action Committee
