STUDENT@MALAYSIA-STUDENT.com (BERSIH MALAYSIA) MCA (DATUK YIP KUM FOOK, MCA CHAIRMAN GOMBAK) INSULTED BUDDHIST MONKS Dear Devotees into the Dhamma, I sincerely shall use the language to make publicly the bitter experience that actually has happened in the SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION NO: 19-21 JALAN 38 TAMAN DESA JAYA KEPONG 52100 KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA. I am not satisfied with the Gombak MCA Division chairman (Yip Kum Fook) and the SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST ASSSOCIATION chairman (Yip Kum Fook) because he used vicious and arrogant means in bringing in a group of individuals from other places to provoke and trample the sacred ground and without any sound reason called in the police to forcefully detain the monk so as to humiliate worshippers of Buddhism. I strongly would like to ask here that what great sin and crimes had he committed to the extent of you Yip Kum Fook lawyer by means or by crooks called in the police to detain a monk like him? I came from Penang, I was a newcomer and I temporarily put up at the SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION to study and learn to practice Buddhism. While at the temple, I could not bear with the way Yip Kum Fook lawyer behaved, your uncourteous, arrogant and unexcelled attitude in treating the Temple abbot. Because I said a few words about your behavior to you Yip Kum Fook, you resorted to such dirty means to hurt a monk. It is indeed unacceptable and cast a very bad example. For a school principal, if his and her student has committed an offence, the police must as a matter of courtesy meet up with the principal, try to understand the actual situation, before the police take any actions. This is the usual practice. But it is sorry to say, that Yip kum Fook lawyer who himself is a lawyer chose to have done. Otherwise, he did not act in accordance with the teaching of Buddhism and looked down on the spirit of Buddhism for the sole purpose of showing off that he is the powerful chairman of MCA Gombak Division and the chairman of the SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION. He demanded the police to detain the monk so as to realize his motive. It is very fortunate that due to the fact that religion itself is a sensitive matter, even the Malay policemen understood and respected the religion, culture and customs of other communities, so they did not rush into taking any actions. Otherwise, the consequences would be catastrophic. I understand why Yip Kum Fook lawyer was furious and flared up. The main reason is as follows. The abbot of the SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION. He has been the abbot for 20 years. He was the architect and played the pivotal in raising fund the public to build up the Temple.

Kami kumpulan Myanmar di Malaysia; kita hidup di Malaysia sejak sedekad dan sentiasa pergi ke kuil ( PERSATUAN PENGANUT BUDDHA SAMNAK SAMBODHI) No: 19-21 Jalan 38 Taman Desa Jaya, Kepong, 52100 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia dan kami sangat sedih dan menyesali dengan Ahli Jawatankuasa Kuil kerana mereka menggunakan Sami kami dalam tanggapan yang salah Buddha mengajar atau kaedah-kaedah Buddha. Kami datang ke Kuil ini untuk membantu Sami-Sami dan dihormati agama kita.
Bahawa Kuil adalah Pengerusi yang bernama Datuk Yip Kum Fook (Pengerusi MCA Bahagian Gombak), Sami kami berkata dan dia dijemput Sami kami dari Myanmar untuk menjaga Kuil itu tetapi tanpa membuat apa-apa bayaran kepada Sami-Sami kami, tambah beliau dan tidak menghormati beliau daripada kami Sami-Sami dan ada kalanya dia memerintahkan kaumnya ke barang-barang yang dikumpul seperti kertas, dan sebagainya. Pengerusi mengambil air mineral tanpa memaklumkan apa-apa perkataan untuk sami-sami kami. Dalam agama kita percaya kita tidak boleh mengambil apa-apa Tempat suci(Kuil), jika kita dilakukan kita adalah dosa besar.
Dalam sebelumnya, Sami kami berkata Ahli Jawatankuasa sentiasa meminta wang daripada beliau, apabila Sami kami memberikan RM20, 000.00 secara tunai pada tahun 2001 kepada Pengerusi(Yip kum Fook), maka Jawatankuasa berdiam diri, Jawatankuasa kemudian membuat masalah dengan seorang Sami kami yang bernama Ven. U Nandiya sekali lagi dan dibatalkan membenarkan (permit Visa) Sami kami untuk tinggal di Malaysia, maka Sami kita (Sadayaw U Nandiya) pergi ke Australia dan Sami kami tidak datang Kuil itu pada masa panjang. Datuk Yip Kum Fook (Pengerusi MCA bahagian Gombak) memberi komputer notebook kepada Sami kami untuk perlindungan jumlah tersebut wang, ini-lah sami kami memberitahu;
Ramai orang tempatan di sekitar Kuil berkata, Kini tiada lebih ramai orang datang ke Kuil ini kerana Ahli Jawatankuasa sentiasa membuat masalah atau sangat sombong dan kita mendengar daripada orang tempatan berkata: Yip Kum Fook (Pengerusi MCA bahagian Gombak) memerintahkan kaumnya untuk membakar Kuil Hindu di Taman Daya, Kepong kerana dia perlukan tempat itu untuk membuat perniagaan kedai perabot, ini berlaku beberapa tahun yang lalu. Semua orang mengetahui apa yang dilakukan untuk Kuil Hindu di Taman Daya, Kepong. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Kali terakhir juga dia menjemput polis untuk menangkap Sami-Sami di tempat suci (kuil) dan dikunci kuil tanpa takut Karma dan memalukan orang, kerana dia percaya Ahli Jawatankuasa yang kuasa lebih daripada Sami-Sami. Juga anak Datuk Yip Kum Fook selalu berkata, Kuil ini adalah kepunyaan bapanya. Yang betul, Kuil ini sumbangan daripada orang ramai, kita kerja keras untuk Kuil ini. (Anak Datuk Yip Kum Fook dipanggil Yip Jiun Han)
Kuil ini Ahli Jawatankuasa yang sentiasa berubah Sami-Sami, kini mereka menukar sami baru dalam menjaga kuil, Sami baru ini juga aduan perkara-perkara buruk jawatankuasa kerana jawatankuasa juga menunggu kotak derma wang sahaja, mereka tanpa apa-apa bantuan kepada Sami-Sami kami dan jawatankuasa yang dikawal dengan sami-sami kami tidak bercakap atau aduan lebih, Sami-Sami kami tinggal di sana sebagai omong kosong dan takut kepada Ahli Jawatankuasa.
Di bangunan baru di mana dicagarkan adalah marmar patung Buddha; kita mempunyai pengubahsuaian patung Buddha kerana itu patung Buddha diletakkan sangat rendah, kita mengangkat tertinggi Ahli Jawatankuasa tidak suka dan tidak berpuas hati. Di negara kita, sesiapa sahaja boleh datang ke Kuil untuk menyembah Buddha tetapi di Malaysia adalah Kuil yang berbeza mengawal oleh Ahli Jawatankuasa.
Kami berharap semua orang memelihara ajaran Buddha dan sila keselamatan sami kami, tidak melihat wang hanya kerana ini Kuil. Apabila kami bertanya kepada beberapa rakyat kita (Myanmar) dan penduduk tempatan, jawatankuasa adalah sangat rendah fikiran kerana fikiran mereka sangat sempit dan tanpa pendidikan agama. Dan Ahli Jawatankuasa tidak akan mengganggu dengan Sami-Sami kami, Sami-Sami seperti ayah anda kami untuk menjaga agama Buddha dan Kuil adalah seperti tempat kita menyelesaikan masalah kita.
Baru-baru ini, Sami (Sadayaw Ashin Indaka asal daripada Mandalay, Myanmar) telah tinggal di Kuil ini juga tidak berpuas hati kerana Ahli Jawatankuasa tidak membayar apa-apa kepadanya, dia bekerja di sukar untuk menasihatkan orang ramai dan kami juga kecewa dan sedih apabila mendengar berita buruk dari Sami-Sami kami. Kadang-kadang Ahli Jawatankuasa datang dan menjerit dalam Kuil tanpa mempunyai apa-apa sebab dan melakukan apa yang mereka perlu lakukan, Sami kami berkata, jawatankuasa kuil ini tidak mempunyai ajaran Buddha dalam fikiran mereka, mungkin masa depan Buddha boleh memusnahkan.

I am Myanmar who working in Malaysia more than 10 years and I would like to explain about SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION. Therefore, recently I stayed at Sasanarakkha Buddhist Sanctuary (SBS), Taiping, Perak. I am very close with Ven. U Nandiya Maha Thero.
My monk Ven. U Nandiya is very good heart and compassion to everyone in the world, also I heard when he stayed at Kuala Lumpur Buddhist Temple, he lend donation money to President of Temple(Datuk Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak) with amount RM20,000.00 only and he said that money belong to Myanmar society in Malaysia.
On the other hand, my monk said, also many things happened when he stayed there because always disturbing, I am very sadly about that matter, why committees are very poor and crooks. Others Temple, people come to Temple to respected Buddha and Monks, also give red packet to monks. Why this Temple, monks must give money to committees, this is opposite.
If anyone receive or read this message, please inform to DATUK YIP KUM FOOK to return that amount to my monk as soon as possible.
My monk contact place:
Ven. U Nandiya Sasana Daja Buddhist Temple 49 Bombay Street, Lidcombe NSW 2141. Tel: (02) 9649-8124
No benefit in keeping Pempena afloat In September last year, four directors of Pembangunan Perlancongan Nasional Sdn Bhd (Pempena) Datuk Yip Kum Fook (MCA GOMBAK, who is BAD name in Buddhist) Datuk Donald Lim Siang Chai, Syed Abdul Rahman and Jaigani Jaafar – were served with letters of demand for payment of more than RM12.4 million owed by the company. The letters from lawyer Joginder Singh, who was acting for Kah Bintang Auto Sdn Bhd were sent by registered post. On receiving the letter, one of them, Lim, the former deputy toursim minister and current deputy finance minister, contacted the CEO of Pempena and asked him to act on the demand. For a good eight months, nothing happened. No effort was made to contact the motor company or negotiate a settlement. Failing to get a response, Kah Bintang published notice of an intended winding up petition in two national newspapers on May 28. The petition was set to be heard on June 13. At the hearing, the petition was undefended as neither Pempena nor its lawyers made an appearance. The court allowed the petition and asked that Pempena be given another 14 days to pay up. On June 27, that short lease of life for the company expired and Pempena ceased to exist. Yesterday, akin to closing the stable door after the horses have bolted, Malaysian Tourism Board chairman Datuk Victor Wee announced that Pempena would be applying for a stay of the winding up order this week. The decision, he said, was made after a meeting with the management of Pempena last Friday. A new solicitor will be appointed to apply for a stay and work out an amicable settlement. He was responding to theSun’s front page report which said the High Court had ordered the company to be wound up after failing to pay RM12.4 million for the purchase of 120 units of Hyundai Sonata. When asked if these actions and the subsequent embarrassment to the government could have been avoided if Pempena had complied or responded to letters from Kah Bintang and its lawyer, Wee declined to comment, saying: “This is something that only Pempena can answer.” So, the questions are: “Why did the Pempena CEO ignore the letters, and the call from Lim who was then a director of the company? Was it incompetency or sheer arrogance or total defiance of a lawful directive? Why did Pempena not act after the notice was published? More importantly, where is Pempena going to find RM13 million (including interests and costs) to pay the motor company? Why should it come from the tourism promotion budget when all fingers point to the directors, who by virtue of their positions should be held responsible for this fiasco? There’s no benefit in keeping Pempena afloat as it has not contributed in anyway to enhance tourism and related products. In short, it has been bleeding financially and has become a burden to Tourism Malaysia. The best option is to dispose the assets, settle the debts and close shop so that it does not lose more money. Throwing good money after bad does not make good business sense. -thesundaily.
