UMNO: Indians denied right to honouring their forefathers.

UMNO: Indians denied right to honouring their forefathers.
In Malaysia the Malay muslims, Chinese, Christians, natives, all have been granted the right to honour their forefathers. (See NST 29/3/2010 at page 22). But the poor Indians have been denied this right.
To start off with, further to the Local Government Act the maintainance of Hindu cemeteries is the duty and responsibility of the UMNO and now PKR, DAP and PAS controlled state governments and the Municipal Councils who collects millions of ringgit in quit rent which is meant to cover maintainance of burial places.
But in reality UMNO, and now ably continued by PKR, DAP and PAS in the P.R ruled states of Selangor, Penang and Kedah, pushes the buck to the MIC, PKR, DAP and PAS Indian mandores, after having given them some peanut cash. Why is this so? All malay muslim cemeteries are maintained by the local authorities or some state Islamic Religious Body.
Both UMNO and also PKR, DAP and PAS has refused to grant the land these Hindu cemeteries are sitting on to the local Indian and Hindu communities. Hindu cemetery reserve should be established and gazetted the same accordingly.
But both UMNO and also PKR, DAP and PAS would not to grant land to these Hindu cemeteries and give them a permanent solution, preferring to keep the Indians at the end of a rope.
This is because they fear losing Malay votes. Also these Hindu cemeteries are sitting on prime land. This means million of ringgit for these UMNO, PKR, DAP and PAS rulers and their developer cronies.
At the slightest excuse these Hindu cemeteries are demolished. The latest example being the Ladang Batu Pekaka Kuala Ketil Hindu cemetery by the very same PAS government, whom 90% of the Indians had voted for in Kedah.
And in February 2010 the Hindu cemetery in Kuala Kubu Baru was desecrated by the PKR led Selangor State Government, for whom 90% of the Indians had voted for. Sinar Harian had then reported that the bones were strewn all over the cemetery in the development process. This news was earlier carried in our website.
And the only way forward against all these atrocities by both UMNO and also PKR, DAP and PAS, is the Indian Political empowerment strategy – the way forward.
