Kampung Buah Pala (nicknamed High Chaparral) was a small village in Penang, Malaysia inhabited mostly by Indians at Gelugor.

The 200-year-old village was controversially demolished in 2009 under the government of Lim Guan Eng.

The inhabitants herded cattle on the land, which progressively became more and more hemmed in by urban development around it.

[2] In 2004 the land the village stood on was sold by the state government to a developer for redevelopment.

The eventual demolition by developer Nusmetro Ventures followed a campaign by residents to save the village that was pursued in the Malaysian courts all the way to the Federal Court, a campaign of physical resistance over a number of days prior to the eventual demolition on 14 September 2009.
