Isu ini nampak macam nak mengambil kesempatan atau mengugut.
Beberapa bulan lalu pun ada isu yang sama di tempat lain.
Sebelum ini MB YB Dato Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir telah menyelesaikan banyak kes seperti ini.
Yang pelik kes seperti ini muncul cecara berturutan. Jika tuntutan mereka ditunaikan akan muncul lagi kes baru.
Mungkin seribu kes lagi sedang menunggu giliran. Adakah setiap tuntutan wajib dipenuhi?
Kalau nak duduk tanah DBI tu duduk lah diam-diam, kalau kerajaan nak guna tanah tu untuk projek lain, jalan lah halang. Pindahlah ke tempat lain.
Atau pun kerajaan bagi mereka peluang untuk membeli rumah baru ditempat lain.
Takkan tak mampu nak bayar RM 100 sebulan kut, atau motif sebenar ialah mereka mahukan tanah tersebut kerana ia bernilai tinggi.
Apa pun diharapkan Zamry dapat menangani kes ini sebaik mungkin. Yang pasti selepas ini akan banyak lagi tuntutan baru.

The 120 Indian families living in Kampung DBI, Buntong, have had enough of lip service from the Ipoh City Council. For the past 14 years they have been living on tenterhooks. Two previous menteri besars had promised them land titles or alternative housing.
But neither was forthcoming and only a court iinjunction has stopped their houses from being torn down.
Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) deputy secretary-general R Mohana Rani said these families have been living on the then Ipoh Municipal Council's (IMC) prime land for the past 40 years and are the third generations of workers to work for the council.
These Kampung DBI residents' grandparents were then housed in tiny quarters in the labour lines situated along Jalan Sungai Pari, Buntong. When they retired they obtained permission from IMC (now known as Ipoh City Council or DBI) to build wooden houses next to the labour lines.
However in 1997, the DBI ordered the demolition of their quarters. PSM with the help of activist lawyer G Balasundram (who was murdered in Ipoh last year) obtained a Ipoh High Court injunction to stop the demolition of the quarters in March 1999.
PSM deputy secretary-general R Mohana Rani said between 1999 and 2008, two former menteri besar ,Ramli Ngah Talib and Tajol Rosli, had promised these residents an alternative housing with either a lot or a terraced house but nothing materialised.
Then when BN took control of Perak from Pakatan Rakyat in February 2009, a similar promise by MIC state chief S Veerasingam also went unfilfilled.
In 2009, Menteri Besar Zambry Abdul Kadir had promised to give land titles to Perak squatters if they had stayed on government land for more than 10 years. He then said the decision was effective immediately and as such, the squatters had only to pay the quit rent.
In January, Perak senior executive counsellor Hamidah Othman told the media the state government was taking measures to ensure that Perak is squatter-free by 2012.
Rani said " The BN state government must walk the talk instead of just paying lip service.
"It looks like the BN government is reluctant to return the 37 acres of prime land located in the heart of Ipoh to these villagers and I suspect (the Kampung DBI) may have been earmarked for some BN project," she said.
"We want Zambry to personally intervene in the plight of these 120 poor families as the other government agencies have given them the runaround over the past 14 years."
