His suit is yet to be heard, but the state has gone ahead to take over his property. FMTNews MountErskineRoad LandAcquisition Penang
GEORGE TOWN: A pensioner who is suing the government over its plan to take over part of his home for a road project has questioned the validity of a notice stating that his land has already been acquired.
Byrne filed his suit against the Northeast District Land Office to challenge the government’s offer for the land, which is at Mount Erskine Road.However, his valuers have estimated the value of the portion to be close to RM5 million. Byrne told FMT he had received a “Borang K” notice from the land office telling him the state government officially acquired the land on March 2.
“We want peace to live,” he said. “I don’t want my tranquillity to be affected. Now it is up to God and his mother to decide and my parents in heaven to help us.”The RM55 million underpass road and widening works from Burma to Mount Erskine Road are expected to start at the year’s end or early next year and will be carried out by the Penang Island City Council.
