Kamalanathan lodges police report against Liu

The Hulu Selangor MP wants police to investigate the Selangor exco for allegedly making false accusations against him over a controversial condo project.

KUALA LUMPUR: The police have been asked to investigate Selangor exco Ronnie Liu for allegedly slandering MIC leader P Kamalanathan over a condominium project in Batu Caves.

S Yogendran and M Yuktesvaran, special officers to the Hulu Selangor MP and MIC Putera chief, lodged separate reports yesterday at the Travers police station.

They claimed that Liu had malicious intent when he named Kamalanathan as one of the councillors who approved the project in 2007.

Yogendran and Yuktesvaran, in their reports, said Kamalanathan had ended his term as a Selayang councillor in 2006.

“We believe that Liu gave out these false information with an intent to tarnish and smear the good name of Kamalanathan,” said the duo.

Project approved by BN

FMT reported that the Selangor government has directed the Selayang Municipal Council (MPS) to issue a stop work order against the developer of the project.

The 29-storey project is slated to be built adjacent to the Batu Caves Hindu temple.

Liu said the state government would conduct soil tests in the area to ensure that the development did not pose a threat to the statues in the temple.

Liu said the project was approved in Sept 27, 2007, when the state was under the Barisan Nasional government.

He claimed that Kamalanathan and Gerakan’s A Kohilan Pillay were MPS councillors when the project was approved by the district council.

Kohilan is Gerakan Selangor chief and deputy foreign minister. An attempt to contact Kohilan for comments were unsuccessful.
