SHAH ALAM, Sept 7- Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Ismail today condemned the conduct of the cow-head protesters who disrupted Saturday’s town hall meeting on the relocation of the 150-year-old Sri Mahamariamman temple.
The PKR president said the chaos and acts of violence which “polluted” the dialogue session was very saddening.
“Only a week ago, Malaysians were shocked at the images of a bull’s head being dragged and desecrated by Umno supporters, while on Saturday the dialogue session held to resolve the issue was disrupted.”
She said the purpose of the meeting at the Shah Alam City Council (MBSA) was to explain and gather feedback on the state’s proposal to relocate the temple from Section 19 to Section 23.
However a group which attended had no interest in finding a solution to the issue, she said.
She said they only wanted to instigate and behave wildly towards other residents of Section 23 as well as the panelists which included Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim, Shah Alam MP Khalid Samad and Batu Tiga assemblyman Rodziah Ismail.
“Pictures and videos of their behavior are all over the internet and I do not have to elaborate,” Wan Azizah said.
She said the jeering and provocative actions by the group were disappointing especially since this is the holy month of Ramadan.
“PKR’s stand is justice for all. The actions of the protesters will not derail the party’s objective of striving for a Malaysia which is fair for all, regardless of race and religion.”
