PETALING JAYA: Pandemonium had erupted during a meeting in Shah Alam to discuss aid for Tamil schools, which led to a scuffle, resulting in one person being warded at the Assunta Hospital.
During last Saturday's meeting, M Kumaravel said he was attacked by several people linked to Tamil Schools' Parents Association of Selangor president S Murali.
Kumaravel, 47, chairs the Midlands Tamil School Parents and Teachers Association.
A video of the incident obtained by FMT showed Murali and several others locked in a heated dispute with several NGO leaders over the funds.
After several minutes of pushing and shoving, Murali is seen chasing Kumaravel around the hall, and the latter was pounced on by several individuals.
Also present at the meeting were Selangor excos Halimah Ali and Dr Xavier Jayakumar as well as PKR MPs Loh Gwo Burne and S Manikavasagam.
The meeting was held after the parents expressed their anger with the state government for allocating RM1.6 million to three NGOs to run the Tamil school programmes.
Halimah had said that state government allocations for Tamil schools will be managed by her and not by Jayakumar, who overseas Indian affairs, from now on.
