Group seeks action over the demolition of 79 Hindu temples
PUTRAJAYA: Some 100 people from the Hindu Rights Action Force handed a memorandum to the special officer to the Solicitor-General Ilham Abdul Kader over the apparent lack of action on the demolition of 79 Hindu temples nationwide.
The group, which gathered in front of the Attorney-General's Chambers yesterday, expressed disappointment over the apparent lack of action although 99 police reports had been lodged over the matter.
Chairman Waytha Moorthy said the
memorandum stated that Hindu temples, some more than 100 years old and located
on private land, had been demolished
without proper court orders since last
year.
Apart from the 99 police reports, the organisation had also sent out 74 letters and memoranda to the A-G's Chambers and other relevant state authorities but had so far received no response, he said.

i read something on lim kit siang's blog... even worse... some officer telling a banana leaf rice store to remove its altar... simply cos there are muslims customers... incredible...
ReplyDeletebro zorro... i was just being sarcastic about their working culture ler...
ReplyDeletesigh, ppl always misunderstood me...
What is actually required is NOT FOR all these Indian leaders to say or do something BUT for all adult indians to voice out their rights as well as the community rights to whosoever is doing these wrongs.If you think about this you will realise that there is a BIG shift in approach which at the moment is not being totally done widespread.Yes the leaders are there but most of the time response is LATE if not VERYLATE. So it is time for all ADULT INDIANS TO VOICE OUT, THERE IS NO NEED TO FEAR AS LONG AS IT IS COMMUNICATED DIRECTLY WITHOUT ANY TRANSGRESSION OF ANY SORT.

ReplyDeleteMIC MCA Gerakan must be questioned all together for not standing up for others rights.

Hi Uncle Zorro,
ReplyDeleteAppalling and very disrespecftul...What happened to temples being sacred? Sigh...Is all this about religious respect, tolerance and freedom a farce? According to the Malaysian Constitution, The Fundamental Liberties guarantees us the right to build our places of worship...
Come to think of it, we're 50 years...Shouldn't it be acceptance and not just tolerance anymore?
Rights of Bolaysians being eroded.. Makes you wonder if there were rights or simply privelleges to be taken back at the whim and fancy. As a muslim, I am embarrassed. As a Bolaysian I am apalled at this wanton insenstive act. Even, the Mursyiul Am in PASland would never stoop this low!
ReplyDeleteHear the elegant silence of BN's MIC reps!
sorry, this temple demolition is non-priority. more important demolition agenda ie. whack Ctos with a big stick, a legitimate business operating for many years. have to ensure Ctos collapsed.
ReplyDeleteyou may asked why? I have no answer. Its better you asked the venerable Minister.
by the way, I have no linkage in whatsoever ways with Ctos except I did use their service during my banking days as part of the routine credit check.
send them all to the Mexican chamber, I say!
ReplyDeleteIn Subang/USJ, our application for a Catholic Church has been turned down...again!
I guess they need to tear down the temple so that they can build more _ _ _ _ _ _ _...you fill in the blanks!
If its up to Samy Vellu, he wants to build a multi story car park in Batu caves!
Remember that?
This time Indians should not vote for BARISAN NASIONAL & SHOULD NOTE SUPPORT FOR MIC!!! Dear Indians pls dont vote for them,better vote for keadilan or pas..
ReplyDeleteIndian.
why our PM is keeping quiet...he should come out and tell something to the people who lost their sacred place. Its a temple....show some respect to the faith of our Indian brothers and sisters. Prime minister department must do something regarding this issue before its going to be too late. We always potraits malaysia as a multiracial and peaceful country...if THEY want it to keep it that way.. BN GOVERNMENT should respect the grieve of the klang people who lost their temple!
ReplyDeleteSAD to see the deplorable state of uncultured attitude of the Government it fails to realise that the hard work of the rubber estate workers basically indians only put Malaysia in this present position.
ReplyDeleteAlliance was needed once but attitude of todays dealing shows the autocracy
Iwonder if same was done to ......worship places whole world woul put FA.... bad people ISTAKFURRULLAH god please forgive these people who want to be so bad and demolish the temples
NOT A HEALTHY SIGN FOR THAT NATION
