Sejarah Melayu di Balik Pulau

Balik Pulau pula dibuka oleh Lebai Tampak, dari Deli; Pah Kecil dan Nahkoda Che Salleh membuka Permatang Damar Laut; Panglima Long dari Setul dan Nahkoda Saedin dari Deli membuka Teluk Kumbar.

Jumlah penduduk, dianggarkan lebih kurang 100 orang dalam tahun 1786, meningkat secara mendadak pada tahun 1816 seramai 23,418 orang dan pada tahun 1830 seramai 33,959. Sehingglah ketahun 1759, jumlah penduduk Melayu melebihi kaum lain, tetapi selepas tahun 1860 kaum Cina mula mengatasi orang Melayu dengan kemasukan imigran dari Negera China.

Bermula dari tahun 1860 itu sehinggalah pada tahun lepas-2008, jumlah penduduk kaum Cina adalah mengatasi jumlah penduduk Melayu. Walaubagaimanapun, mengikut Jabatan Perangkaan Malaysia dan SERI (Pulau Pinang), pada tahun ini - 2009, jumlah penduduk kaum Melayu buat pertama kalinya melebihi jumlah penduduk kaum Cina, dan dijangkakan berterusan. Banyak perkara yang boleh diperdebatkan tentang fakta baru ini !

Artikel penuh tentang sedikit latarbelakang sejarah Melayu di Pulau Pinang boleh dibaca di blog YB Farid.

The Kampung Buah Pala's (High Chapparal) Connection

Anil Netto (as published on Malaysia Today)

Who exactly owns Nusmetro Ventures (P) Sdn Bhd, the developer of the Oasis luxury condominium project?

According to the latest records for the developer filed with the Companies Commission of Malaysia, Asia Link-up Sdn Bhd holds 96 per cent of the RM250,000 issued share capital of Nusmetro Ventures (P) Sdn Bhd.

That makes Nusmetro Ventures (P) Sdn Bhd almost a wholly owned subsidiary of Asia Link-up.

But who owns Asia Link-up then? It’s now time to lift its corporate veil as well.

According to the Companies Commmission, Asia Link-up documents registered as at 24 April 2009 show that Mohamad Faridz Karim of Balik Pulau owns 80 per cent of the company’s RM500,000 issued share capital. Faridz has also been director of Asia Link-up since October 2004 and director of its subsidiary, Nusmetro Ventures (P) Sdn Bhd, since April 2005.

So that makes Faridz one of the key men on the developer’s side.
