By the time this story is published in Malaysiakini.tv, the outcome of the Hulu Selangor parliamentary by-election would have been known. The victors would be celebrating and the vanquished would have gone away to tend to their wounds for the next battle.

But whatever is the outcome of this by-election, the future of the purchasers of the Genting Valley resort remains unknown.

Between 2000 and 2003 hundreds of purchasers bought plots of land to build their dream houses. For many the Genting Valley resort would be their ideal retirement home. These 500 over purchasers have sunk in more than RM50 million for their plots. But 10 years later, all that remains are some demarcated plots overgrown with lalang, vandalized street lights, opened manholes typical scenes of an abandoned project.

The developer, has gone into liquidation and the purchasers are left high and dry.

Mr Bod Steedman, chairperson of the protem committee of the Genting Valley purchasers group tells Malaysiakini the journey to a dream home that has led them to nowhere.
