Who own these construction companies?

The authority and dignity of 2 state government are put to the test recently,coincidentally both by developers (construction companies). The fisrt incidence is in Tawau of Sabah.4 lots of state lands ear-marked for recreations purposes and car parks are given to private developers under dubious conditions. The irregularity was exposed when construction works were started on these lots. The town council called an emergency meeting and declared that works on these lands should stop with immediate effect.However,the town council's order was ignored and works continued. Petitions and protests from the public occupied the front pages of local news papers daily,which caused the cabinet to issue an order to the said developer to stop work on the project. Yet works on the said site continued,and the news reported (complete with photos) that the protesters and the developer's employees are getting physical. The Chief Minister himself had to stand out and gave stern warning to the developer.The dispute is not over yet. Who is behind this developer who can ignore the weight of the town council/state cabinet/CM? Even if they go ahead and complete the project,who will buy their shop lots knowing very well that they will not be able to get OC,trade licences and other permits if the relationships between the developer and the authority are strained? To top it all the self-proclaimed "champion of the people",the Consumers Association Of Sabah (CASH) ,is on the site of the developer! The developers are robbing the people of recreations and parking facilities,and CASH stood by them and urged the state government not to stop them! The second incidence takes place in Penang. It involves public interests too,this time the victim is a school,Sin Chung Chinese Primary School (the name is translated by me,might not be accurate,because I read only Chinese papers). A developer managed to get a court injunction to evacuate the school and a factory nearby which are situated on state lands.How they gained control of the state lands with school on it is everybody's guess. Anyway,the villagers/parents formed a human wall against the developer's bull dozers and the fierce workers to protect the school. This makes good content for the news papers,especially the Chinese news. This stirred the Chief Minister himself.He ordered the developer to stop threatening the school.Meanwhile refurbishment works were going on in the school. When the works on the school was completed,the Chief Minister and many of the local dignitaries went to witness the open ceremony.What welcome him was a new solid fence of wood and zinc surrouding the school,only a small "dog-hole" was left open to let the CM and and his group of YBs to pass. The ceremony was called off to save the CM from the humiliation of going through a "dog-hole". The fence was susequently pulled down by city council workers. But it sprang up again later in the day! The fence was pulled down the second time,police men are posted there this time to prevent the fence to be put up for the third time. Unfortunately,the developer had dug a huge hole in the middle of the access road to the school.It is believed that the road is government property,the law is broken then! Take them to court and see the reaction of the court! Again,who is this developer who is more powerful than the CM,making the whole state government so helpless ?
