Re : SOS Police siding Kedah PAS against Indian hindus
The aforesaid matter has been brought to our attention by Mr. Maniyan Varathan (Raj) the Chairman of Kubur Kuala Ketil who has instructed us as follows:-
That as of 8.30 p.m yesterday 16/12/09 three police reports have been lodged in effect against the PAS state government of Kedah and asking for 24 hours police protection for this hindu crematorium not to be demolished.
But soon after this third police report No. Kuala Ketil 001864/09 dated 16/12/09, instead of arresting the criminals DSP Rahim, the Deputy OCPD of Baling called Mr. Raj over to his office and told him not gather at the said cemetery on 17/12/09 but to give way for the demolishment of the aforesaid hindu crematorium. Shortly after this meeting the police allowed the PAS state government to uproot a few trees and damaged some of the graves and tomb stones right before the eyes of the Malay-sian police.
Despite our P. Uthayakumar bringing the same to the attention of this the Kedah Chief Police Officer (CPO) Dato Syed Ismail vide a telephone conversation on 16/12/09 at about 8.30 p.m that if at all a valid High Court Order is required if there is to be any relocation of this hindu cemetery and that it is in fact a criminal offence in particular under section 295 ( Injuring or defiling a place of worship with intent to insult the religion of any class) and Section 297 (Trespassing on burial places, etc) and Section 298A (Causing etc., disharmony, disunity, or feelings of enmity, hatred or ill-will, or prejudicing, etc., the maintenance of harmony or unity, on grounds of religion) of the Penal Code and read with Article 11 of the Federal Constitution of the Penal Code and which carries a jail term of up two years jail this CPO gave a racially and religiously bioused answer
But when P. Uthayakumar had asked the Kedah CPO and the Malay-sian police to arrest the relevant PAS criminals who partly demolished this graveyard he had refused to do so and had also refused to give 24 hours police protection for this hindu cemetery. Meaning he will allow the demolishment to go on.
Why is this so? Just because the victims are the ethnic tiny minority Indian hindus and the big majority being the malay muslims? So Bully?
There is no provision either in the Federal Constitution or any law in the country which allows for racist and religious extremist implementation of the Federal Constitution and law by the police who are in fact supposed to be impartial and independent.
In fact we have written two letters in dated 10/12/09 and 16/12/09 to the PAS led Kedah Menteri Besar and in fact have written that we are going to meet him at his office this coming Sunday (20/12/09).
Despite all the above the Malay-sian police have been seen to be aiding and abetting the PAS led Kedah State government in demolishing this said hindu crematorium.
We hereby seek your kind indulgence in instructing the police to protect this ethnic minority hindu crematorium from being destroyed, 24 hours police protection for this crematorium, police protection for all our supporters especially on 20/12/09 and thereafter when we are scheduled to hold a prayers at the said cemetery and later a proposed meeting with the Menteri Besar of Kedah at his office.
We have information that the Kedah PAS state government may hire Indian gangsters to cause disturbances on 20/12/09 and thereafter and accordingly seek police protection.
Kindly revert to us accordingly.
Thank you,
Yours faithfully,

P. Uthayakumar
Secretary General (pro tem)
