Veera Muneswarar Temple demolished

Press statement

Temple demolishment - Veera Muneswarar, Jln Yap Kwan Seng ,off Jln Ampang,Kuala Lumpur.

10.00 a.m , 26/09/2009,Around 35 Indian guys that we suspect are MIC gangsters demolished the 20 years old temple. We believe that Umno led DBKL, police, MIC gangsters worked hand in hand with developer BOLTON Sdn Bhd to do this.

The Temple committee had launched several police reports at Dang Wangi Police station requesting protection from the trespassing(dang wangi/022122/09). Sivanaswaran temple committee member told Chief Ispector Anand that the trespassers did not produce a Court Order for the demolition. They just came and they demolished. Disappointing that the police did not protect the temple ,instead they were clearly operating in support of the gangsters. The Police only instructed the innocent temple personal to disperse. Police responsibility is to protect places of worship. Under the penal code sec 295 -defiling a place of worship is a criminal offence which is punishable upto 3yrs of jail. The police should have arrested these gangsters and the developer and charged them under penal code section 295.

We demand that action been taken against these criminals within these 7days.

We are disappointed that none of the temple demolishment case has sp far been produced in court even after dozens of Memorandum have been submitted by HINDRAF leaders P.Waythamoorthy and P.Uthayakumar The temple demolitions will never come to and end until the Attorney General sets in motion processes to prosecute those who defy the law.

Deputy Federal Territory Minister made a Ministerial statement in Parliament in reply to opposition members that no more Hindu temples will be demolished again in the future. What lies? UMNO has no more respect for democracy ,the people and the institution of parliament. Umno lost their 2/3 majority for the first time in the history of Malaysia, mainly because of Hindu temple demolishment. The new UMNO leadership has not changed and if we want this state of affairs permanently changed we have to change UMNO in the 2012-2013 General Elections. There seems to be no other way.
