Protest Note to Prime Minister on Setapak hindu temple demolished by UMNO despite Parliamentary Statement. PKR, DAP and PAS watch this “blood letting”.

This morning at about 11.30 a.m we received a distress telephone call from one Jeevamalar that the Setapak Periaanna Muneswarar Hindu Temple was demolished by the UMNO One Malay-sian Prime Minister Najib Razak’s DBKL. In the background we hear the crying of the temple caretaker Madam Kasiamma and her family. Well done Dato Seri !

This is also despite the Ministerial Statement by the Federal Territories Minister in Parliament in 2008 (NST 11/7/08 page 13) that no more Hindu temples would be demolished in Malaysia in particular in the Federal Capital. This is the height of UMNOs’ mockery of Parliamentary democracy in One Malay-sia. There are precedents in Britian and other Western Democracies that when a Ministerial statement in Parliament is not complied with the said Minister would resign or would be forced to resign. But this will never happen in UMNO’s One Malay-sia. Unless of course a miracle happens! The adjoining temple holy Jasmine flower garden was also ruthlessly bulldozed.

Despite our letter dated 10/2/2010 to the Malay-sian Prime Minister (enclosed herewith) this UMNO barbaric, racist, religious extremist and supremacist act was done with criminal vengeance. This latest act by UMNO’s DBKL is a crime punishable with three years jail according to section 295 of the Malay-sian Penal Code ( Injuring or defiling a place of worship with intent to insult the religion of any class). But UMNO’s Attorney General Gani Patail will never or has any history of prosecuting the UMNO criminals but has history of instead prosecuting and sending to jail those who had opposed these crimes.

You and UMNO don’t seem to have learnt from the watershed 8^th March 2008 General election outcome! This level of racism, religious extremism and supremacy does not happen in any other part of the world. Congratulations because today Malaysia has evolved and emerged as the world’s most racist and supremacist country.

The 2.5 Million Malaysian Hindu community’s curse on you today is that your ruthless UMNO regime will fall and be wiped out in the 2012/2013 general elections.

A police report has today been lodged against UMNO and DBKL. But based on our previous experiences we expect zero criminal prosecution or a conviction by the Malay-sian Attorney General or the Judiciary for that matter. We have today advised this Hindu temple committee to defy UMNO and to rebuild the temple in its original site.

We hereby call upon the racist, religious extremist and supremacist Malay-sian UMNO led government to forthwith stop this act which is also against Article 11 of the Federal Constitution which guarantees freedom of religion.

The full facts on this Hindu temple are as per our earlier letter to UMNO Malay-sian Prime Minister dated 10/02/2010 which is enclosed herewith together with the demolished Hindu temple photographs.

Kindly revert to us accordingly.

Thank You.

Your faithfully,

P. Uthayakumar

Re : Malaysian Police S.B,UMNO & MIC mandore axis diffuses Sri Muniandy Muniswarar, Setapak hindu temple demolishment P.C.

This hindu temple is scheduled to be demolished tomorrow (11/2/2010) by way of a DBKL notice dated 3/2/2010 (see notice below) to make way for the building of a neighbourhood public park. Why can’t the park be built anywhere else? After all Malaysia is a very big country! Why yet again pick on a hindu temple. Another 3 hindu temples within the vicinity are also scheduled to be demolished. (see photos below). Yesterday (9/2/2010) we had sent out a media event notice for a Press Conference today (10/2/2010) and for an SOS letter to the UMNO Prime Minister, Federal Territories Minister, K.L Mayor and the KL City Hall enforcement director not to demolish this hindu temple on 11/2/2010.

We believe the Malaysian police special branch picked up on this our pro active action from our website and/or e-mails sent out today and together with UMNO and their Mandore MIC axis diffused the situation by neutralizing and turning over the temple President and devotees and instructing them not to attend the scheduled Press Conference at our HRP HQ office today as related by the said temple President to us this morning.

This UMNO Malay-sian government led by One Malay-sian Prime Minister Najib Razak even has the cheek to offer a 20 feet x 20 feet piece of alternative land for this hindu temple to be relocated. This land would not even be enough to build a toilet. But this is how UMNO continuously insults the minority Malaysian Indians and hindus in Malaysia. As if this is not insulting enough vide the KL City Hall letter dated 10/12/08 (see below) they had stated that this 20 feet x 20 feet piece of land is a temporary relocation meaning it is with the view to be demolished again at a future date. If at all why not a permanent land solution?

Why does this demolishment, relocation and/or temporary policy and/or arrangement does not happen to any Islamic mosques or suraus or any other Chinese, Christian, or Buddhist places of worship.

In Malay-sia one hindu temple is demolished every week nationwide.

Between 2004 to 2007, 96 hindu temples were demolished in the state of Selangor alone at an average of one hindu temple being demolished in every ten days. Based on this we estimate the national Malaysian average is at one hindu temple being demolished in every week. This was the official reply given by the Menteri Besar (Chief Minister) of Selangor at the Selangor State Assembly in reply to a written State Assembly question by the Kota Alam Shah Elected Representative Mr. Manoharan Malayalam who was then under detention (as a Hindraf legal adviser) without trial at Malay-sia’s very own Guantanamo Bay under the draconian Internal Security Act (ISA) (TN 30/10/08 at page 3).

The early indicators are that UMNO is starting on their hindu temple demolishment spree all over again which took a pause after the 100,000 hindraf peaceful aseembly on the 25^th November 2007 and the subsequent detention of in particular Hindraf Legal Adviser P. Uthayakumar.

UMNO Prime Minister Najib has no respect for Article 11 of the Federal Constitution which provides for freedom of religion and read with Section 295 (Injuring or defiling a place of worship with intent to insult the religion of any class) 296 ( Disturbing a religious assembly) and Section 298A of the Penal Code ( Causing etc., disharmony, disunity, or feelings of enmity, hatred or ill –will, or prejudicing, etc., the maintenance of harmony or unity, on grounds of religion).

The latest hindu temple demolished was the Om Sri Maha Kaliaman Alayam hindu temple in Setapak, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 8/2/2010. ( see photos below).

This is also despite the Ministerial Statement by the Federal Territories Minister in Parliament last year (NST 11/7/08 page 13) that no more hindu temples would be demolished in Malaysia in particular in the Federal Capital. This is the height of UMNOs’ mockery of Parliamentary democracy in Malay-sia. There are precedents in Britian and other Western Democracies that when a Ministerial statement in Parliament is not complied with the said Minister would resign or would be forced to resign. But this will never happen in One Malay-sia. Unless of course a miracle happens!

And even the supposed multi-racial Opposition leaders of PKR, DAP, PAS, their 82 Members of Parliament (MP) in particular their eleven “mandore” MPs’ would never challenge this Federal Territories Minister’s Ministerial statement in Parliament, let alone championing the same outside Parliament on a needs, merits and seriousness based religious freedom issue as their political calculation may be that they may lose Malay votes by championing a hindu temple and/or a hindu religious rights issue. Further, after all the victims are merely the soft target and politically and economically weak ethnic minority Malaysian Indian hindus. (Note how UMNOs’ racist, religious extremist and supremacist mindset has spilled over to even PKR, DAP and PAS). This Opposition non action has in fact contributed to the hindu temple demolishments spree by UMNO and the critical Indian problems faced by the Malaysian Indians today because of the Opposition PKR, DAP and PAS’ refusal to play a check and balance role when and where it concerns and/or affects the Indians.

With UMNOs’ 52 years of continuous rule of Malaysia without a break in the chain (which happens only in some communist and dictatorial countries,) the net effect is this kind of UMNOs’ authoritarian and ruthless racist, religious extremist and supremacist policies goes on unabated and done with impunity.

For a permanent, harmonious, co-existing and forward moving solution we hereby call upon the Malaysian Prime Minister to:-

1) Retain this Sri Muniandy Muniswarar hindu temple where it is.

2) Grant state land to this and all other hindu temples in Malaysia and

gazette the same accordingly.

3) Similarly grant land to all hindu cemeteries, tamil schools and Indian

settlements and villages and gazette them accordingly.

The above will be a permanent and lasting solution opposed to the current piecemeal and temporary solutions especially as the Malaysian Indians are here in Malaysia to stay put permanently and to live and die here and never ever had the intention to be here on a temporary basis at all whatsoever.

Kindly revert to us accordingly.
