HISTORICAL HINDRAF LEGAL ADVSIOR, P.UTHAYAKUMAR’S OFFICE SHUTDOWN :
Another sacrifice by Uthaya Kumar for the Malaysian Indian Community.
As the clock strike 12 midnight marking July 13th 2008 that is exactly 6 months of Hindraf leaders been detained under the draconian ISA act , our beloved Uthayakumar’s
legal firm which has witnessed numerous historical meetings was shutdown.
This heartbreaking event took place as his family members could not bear the financial needs to keep his office running. Uthayakumar’s family members tried to keep the office for the last 6 months , but RM1700 per month as rental was too much for them.
Knowing their problem there were some kind souls willing to pay up the monthly rentals , however when Uthaya was informed about this, he turned down their offers saying people’s money should never be used to fund his personal expenses rather it should be only channeled for public interest.
Uthaya also informed his sister that he has no regrets as he was prepared for such situations when he first decided to take up the struggle of the Malaysian Indian community.
Uthayakumar’s office was used as the base to plan and execute both policewatch and Hindraf activities. This was where the historical Hindraf November 25th rally was
planned which leads to the downfall of Barisan Nasional.
A heavy hearted team of volunteers cleared the office only leaving behind memories.
The struggle continues…

mi1: Malaysian Indians are advised not to forget the sacrifices made by 6 Hindraf members at any time. They sacrificed their lives for Malaysian Indians. If you discard them, you are the worst living human beings in this world.
