Hindraf lodges police report against Syed Hamid and Utusan Malaysia
BUTTERWORTH, Oct 6 - Hindraf today lodged a police report against Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar and Utusan Malaysia daily.
Its coordinator R. Thanenthiran claimed that the daily's front page report on Oct 4, titled "Hindraf diberi amaran" (Hindraf warned), quoting Syed Hamid, was unfair and smack of racial undertones.
He also demanded that Syed Hamid apologise openly as his statement had hurt the feelings of Hindraf members.
Speaking at a news conference after lodging the report at the Butterworth police station here, he claimed that the daily had twisted the facts about Hindraf's presence at the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's Hari Raya open house in Putra World Trade Centre in Kuala Lumpur last Wednesday.
Thanenthiran said Hidraf members had gone to the open house venue to hand over Hari Raya cards and to express the wishes that Hindraf leaders be released from detention.
Seberang Perai Utara OCPD ACP Zulkifli Alias, when contacted, confirmed that the police had received the report. - Bernama
