Church attacks : 17 Muslim & 13 Christian NGOs refused to condemn hindu temple arson

ndiscriminate demolishments or relocated next to sewerage ponds which has been going on with impunity at an accelerated rate in especially last ten years. And neither has the PKR, DAP and PAS top leadership any history of defending any of these hindu temples. In fact last month the PAS Kedah state government demolished the Hindu Crematorium at Ladang Batu Pekaka in Kuala Ketil. Whereas the Selangor PKR state governments demolished the Ampang and Shah Alam hindu temples and also the Kg. Sg Bakau, Rawang hindu crematorium.

In One Malay-sia there is one rule for the Indians/ Hindus and another rule for the rest of the people of Malaysia. Caring and Civil society in Malaysia?

PKR: 17 tahun tunggu masalah jalan selesai

Agropoliton land for Indian squatters

UMNO evicts 43 Indian squatters from the KTMB land along Ipoh – Padang Besar. UMNO announces peanuts of RM 98,200.00 each. (The Star 15/1/2010 at page N.6). We are not sure if even these peanut was fully given.

But what ever happens when they finish using up if ever this RM 8,200.00, most probably to pay up their debts? Then they will be out in the streets again or squat with their relatives and live in tensed and cramped conditions all their lives, and end up quarrelling and arguing and may be even violence against each other. Thus may be the increasing crime rate among the Indians in Malaysia. Or to another squatter settlement all over again.

Unlike a Malay, orang asli Kadazan or Iban, these Indians have no villages to go back to. Even the poor Chinese squatter will fit in to one of the hundreds of Chinese villages in Malaysia.

But for these poor Indians, it is back to the streets and mysery all their lives until their dying days.

UMNO denies Indian man Socso benefits

Only RM 139.00 monthly is given to M. Mohan and that to after an eight year struggle (The Star 14/1/10 at page N55).

This is the kind of hell the One Million plus racist and religious extremist trained by UMNO Biro Tata Negara government staff does to Mohan whose hands and part of his body were made disabled.

Mohan’s case is only the tip of the ice berg and these are estimated to be thousands of others in his shoes but goes not being reported.

P. Uthayakumar.

Policeman forgot to report death

There is no legal history of Malaysian Court ordering charge of murder or manslaughter.

But in this latest case of death at the Sentul police station of R. Gunasegaran. It is ridiculous that the policeman forgot to report the death of this detainee in the police lock up.

As usual UMNO puts an Indian policeman mandore One Sjn Mejar Rajinder Singh to tone down the racist and religious extremist Malay-sian police force. Remember they did the same thing in the case of the murder in police custody of A. Kugan when another only are Indian mandore policeman was prosecuted and that too not for murder but only a token criminal offence.

HRP Information Cheif

PKR cheats 74 poor Indian families, low cost houses denied

These 74 poor families from Kampong Bunga Raya, Shah Alam were cheated into moving into temporary longhouses. (The Star 13/1/10 at page N48). But then this longhouses can be demolished at any time as is the case forced now imminently on some 100 poor Indians in Kampong Medan in Petaling Jaya.

The Indians form about 25% of the Selangor population and voted in PKR, DAP and PAS in Selangor in the last elections. But having come to power PKR, DAP and PAS are playing almost the very same political games played by the previous UMNO led state government.

Orphaned dead body of Maniam (41) – poverty related

(Malaysia Nanban 14/1/10 at page 17).

This kind of news reports are only reported about poor Indians from time to time and that too only in the Tamil press.

We never read of reports of this nature involving a Malay, Chinese, Orang Asli, Iban, Kadazan etc in Malaysia. This happens only to the Indians because it is poverty related and no care is extended to them.

Is a Malaysian Indian subject to subtle genocide?

Being a Muslim and a favoured ethnic with the present day government, this question doodles in our Muslim brothers’ mind constantly whether the Malaysian Indians do indeed suffer a subtle genocide/ethnic cleansing in Malaysia.

As a Muslim and more so as a Malaysian, one would find plenty of historical facts and the contribution of the Malaysian Indians are being slowly eradicated and redressed to depict them as the new underclass society that is not worth their existence in Malaysia.

Look up on genocide at http://www.hrweb.org/legal/genocide.html and you would realise in the modern era, a conceptual argument towards history cases and contemporary issues is a definition that we as individuals make out for ourselves when we argue on the predicament of the Malaysian Indians without admitting the reality that they face.

Rather than looking at the intention and the perpetrators, most would look for a structured conflict based on historic cases and individual conception although the reality does bite the bullet for the majority Malaysian Indians in Malaysia.

Whichever way you look at it, when violations or crimes against humanity is undertaken by the state in any form to deprive humanity to survive, genocide and cleansing do occur only that we tend to measure it by our own conception.

Now looking at the http://www.humanrightspartymalaysia.com/2010/01/09/the-malaysian-indian-minority-human-rights-violations-annual-report-2009/. I feel there is a concerted effort by the government in exercising genocide against the Malaysian Indians. Most of the details entailed in this report are factual as they are procured through major government controlled newspapers such as Star, NST, Malay Mail, Utusan Malaysia, Berita Harian, Bernama news that clearly indicates on the deprivation of a Malaysian Indian in participating in the socio development of Malaysia through oppressive government policies.

For example how does it make sense in Malaysia, that UiTM that only allows Malay Muslim to enroll in its university but nevertheless allocates 10% of foreign students of the Muslim belief into their university when deserving Malaysian students from other beliefs are deprived even if they qualify? Is Onemalaysia religious based?

Even if the Malaysian Indians were to pursue their education elsewhere, for instance in the field of medicine in various other countries through their own efforts, the government steps in to derecognize these universities because the students are of Malaysian Indian origin. If this is not indirect cleansing, then what is this?

There are many instances similar. Look at the agricultural field, FELDA is a giant, yet the Malaysian Indians were there initial contributors, yet there is a systematic exclusion of these Malaysians in participation or in the plans of the government.

Biro Tata Negara (BTN) and latest brazen torching of the churches only further indicates the state of affairs that is being conducted by the government. Whether it is an indirect genocide or cleansing is a subjective approach that each Malaysian should take heed and protect each other from the modern day government that we have created.

Saying all these, nothing is going to change a status quo as a preferred Malay Muslim but that is not what those would desire as for for them being a Malaysian is a confluence of the ethnicity, culture, belief without infringing another what they rightly deserve that has molded them to be a part for a better Malaysia.

The government has been the forerunner in various blatant provocation based on its own volition, but it is up to us as individual to recognize the flaws to create and make the change for the society. At present, the Malaysian Indians do face a dilemma in an indirect form of genocide and cleansing, and we as Malaysian need to hold the fort and forge together in entertain their needs to participate in the socio development of Malaysia.

Malaysian Gurdwara Council: No law prohibiting use of 'Allah' for non-Muslims - Malaysiakini

There is no law prohibiting the use of 'Allah' among non-Muslims, the Malaysian Gurdwaras Council said today.

Its president Harcharan Singh said the preamble to the Selangor Non Muslim Enactment 1988 states that the law is meant to control and restrict the propogation of non-Islamic religious doctrines and beliefs among persons professing the Islamic faith.

NONE

Harcharan said, however, when the Selangor Islamic Council president Mohamad Adzib Mohd Isa's statement was reported in the New Straits Times on Jan 12, the preamble to the section was dropped.

"These words are vital to show the prohibition is only against usage of such words as 'Allah' to propogate among Muslims."

"There is no law to stop non-Muslims from using it in their own publications meant for members of their own faith," said Harcharan.

He said High Court judge Lau Bee Lan made it clear in her judgment that the publication or use of the term 'Allah' is only prohibited if it is meant to propogate non-Islamic faiths to Muslims.

Look at historical perspective

Harcharan appealed to everyone to look at the present issue from the historical and the federal constitution viewpoint.

"Furthermore, the enactments passed are state laws and can never over-ride the federal constitution."

"The detractors should consider the preamble to the 1988 Act which prohibits the usage of 'Allah' to propogate non-Islamic faiths among Muslims.

"Any argument for or against, should include the position of the federal constitution as Malaysia's supreme law," he said.

Harcharan, was referring to Selangor Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim's statement which appeared in The Sun today in which he was reported to have said that the enforcement of the law should be based on prevailing circumstance.

The New Straits Times, meanwhile, in its Tuesday edition quoted Mohamad Adzib as saying that there are laws prohibiting the use of the word by non-Muslims.

Harcharan said Perak was the first state to pass such a legislation called the "Control and Restriction of the Propagation of Non-Islamic Religions Bill 1988".

"After the enactment was passed, the Malaysian Consultative Council of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism and Sikhism (MCCBCHS) met the then prime minister to express its concern.

"The MCCBCHS also issued a statement where it viewed the restriction on non-Muslims as unconstitutional. Dr Mahathir Mohamad had then promised to look into the matter."

P.Uthayakumar’s biased Judge, Ops Padam Hindraf and ASP Vasanthakumar confirmed by DCP Akhril

P.Uthayakumar’s ethnic cleansing trial started today at 9.35 a.m with the continued Cross Examination of DCP Akhril Sani, the then Deputy CID Chief of Bukit Aman.

Even before P.Uthayakumar could finish his line of questioning, the Judge had ruled that his question was not relevant and another open argument and raising of voices.

The biased Judge was again trying to be difficult today but P.Uthayakumar told her off once again not to make it “too obvious”. This was followed by a staring match for a long 20 seconds after which the Judge told him to go on when.

During Cross Examination the incompetency, dishonesty and credibility of this very senior police officer DCP Akhril Sani and the Royal Malay-sian Police Force became very obvious when he

1) This police DCP testified that Exhibit P1 at page 1 was the picture of a dead man and his shirt was bleeding when he only produced a black white picture and never bothered to print a colour copy of the picture. When asked to point out the red blood that he had earlier testified on the black and white picture he could not answer.

2) A reporter had allegedly called him on 25/11/07 and told him of the posting in the Policewatch Malaysia website but he could not remember the name of the reporter, which press he was from ie English, Tamil, Chinese or Malay, his telephone number, he never lodged a police report even though he agreed that the allegation in the website was serious. P.Uthayakumar put it to him that the reporter never existed and that this police DCP was lying.

3) He does not remember who the CPO of KL was two years ago on 25/11/07.

4) Agreed that one person named Murugaiyah a/l Ratnam (65) was killed at the 25^thNovember 2007 Hindraf peaceful assembly but the biased Judge disallowed P.Uthayakumar application for the police DCP to verify and confirm the Burial Certificate that was marked as “IDD-2”

5) Initially testified that he had never heard of the policewatchmalaysia website until 25/11/07 although he later agreed that this website criticizes the police force and UMNO.

6) Operasi Padam (wipe out) Hindraf was launched but led by the Special Branch. He agreed that under OPS Padam Hindraf, Hindraf was successfully declared unlawful in early 2008.

7) To a question that one ASP Vasanthakumar from the Police Special Branch E3 Division under the operational warfare was appointed and had been declared Hindraf leader by the IGP Tan Sri Musa Hassan on 13/12/07 and not by the Hindraf Chairman or its members when he was “strategically” arrested and detained together with the other four Hindraf lawyers, he agreed to the same.

The learned Judge disallowed P.Uthayakumar’s application for the police list of Indian victims shot dead and killed by police and death in police custody although the same was specifically referred to in the charge sheet

9) The learned DPP Noorin Badaruddin said that the request was a fishing expedition. P.Uthayakumar replied that the Attorney General (AG) should not have prosecuted P.Uthayakumar in the first place if they are not prepared to make public this shooting to kill list listing out all the Indian victims

10) This DPP Noorin submitted that even if a statement was true P.Uthayakumar has committed Sedition by saying it. To this P.Uthayakumar replied that by virtue of Article 145 of the Federal Constitution the A.G should have to act in the general public interest which includes not wrongly convicting P.Uthayakumar.

P.Uthayakumar remarked that the we are not in Zimbabwe where it would be all right if Robert Mugabe had instructed his DPP to this effect but in Malaysia justice the rule of law has to prevail.

11) Lawyer N.Surendran however clarified that by virtue of Section 3(2) (a) of the Sedition Act if the intention is to point out an error of defects of the state or a fair comment then it is justified and not Sedition. And that this P.Uthayakumar’s prosecution is done with mala fide and is politically motivated. That the DPP’s submission is that even if P.Uthayakumar spoke the truth, he is to be sent to jail anyway is not in the interest of Justice. He cannot be punished for speaking the truth. “This is not only the law but also common sense”.

12) The other assisting lawyer Charles Hector submitted that the witness cannot remember and should be given the opportunity to show the court this list of Indians shot dead and killed by the police.

The DPP asked for an adjournment to make further submissions. The Court adjourned this matter to 9.30 a.m tomorrow (15/1/10).

The court sessions ended at 1.05 p.m.

By then P.Uthayakumar had been on his feet for about 3/1/2 hours continuously from 9.35 a.m to 1.05 p.m. But this did not deter him. He came out of the dock smiling and unscathed and knowing that he will be sentenced to jail in any event because the Judge has got UMNO’s orders to convinct P.Uthayakumar and not based on the facts law and justice.

Kandasamy.

Kerajaan harus bertanggungjawab terhadap keselamatan pelajar.

BATU CAVES, 12 Januari - Penutupan jalan di Batu Caves menyukarkan para pemandu bas sekolah untuk menurunkan pelajar di hadapan sekolah malah mereka menurunkan mereka di hadapan jejantas Batu Caves. Situasi ini membimbangkan para ibu bapa dan guru kerana murid sesi pagi yang diturunkan pada 6.30 pagi terpaksa menaiki dan menuruni jejantas yang boleh mengundang bahaya sekiranya mereka terjatuh di anak tangga. Malah selepas menuruni jejantas mereka harus berjalan di tepi jalan yang digunakan oleh lori besar, kereta dan juga pelbagai jenis pengangkutan. Pemandu bas tidak dapat memasuki jalan di depan sekolah kerana ia terlalu sempit untuk patah balik semasa keluar ke jalan besar. Jalan tersebut telah ditutup disebabkan oleh kerja pembinaan landasan untuk KTM yang bakal dilancarkan.

Komen HRP: Kerajaan harus menitikberatkan keselamatan para murid kecil ini yang kurang sedar akan bahaya lalu lintas. Kerajaan seharusnya menyediakan jalan alternatif kepada pemandu-pemandu bas dan para ibu bapa untuk menurunkan anak-anak mereka di hadapan sekolah supaya keselamatan mereka terjamin.

Perjuangan penduduk rumah panjang Subang selama 16 tahun

Penduduk rumah panjang Subang yang dijanjikan rumah dalam 18 bulan kecewa kerana harapan mereka untuk berpindah ke rumah baru telah melangkah tahun ke-16. Pada asalnya mereka ialah penduduk kampung Bunga Raya dan telah ditempatkan di rumah panjang buat sementara waktu sehingga mereka mendapat rumah baru yang telah dijanjikan. Namun penantian selama 18 bulan yang dijanjikan bertukar menjadi 16 tahun dan sehingga kini mereka tidak mendapat sebarang kata putus daripada pihak yang berkenaan. Kini bilangan keluarga pula telah bertambah daripada 74 kepada 114 buah keluarga.

Menurut Balakrishnan (55 tahun), mereka dijamin rumah baru yang bernilai RM42,000 tetapi akan diberi yang hanya bernilai RM32,000 untuk penduduk-penduduk ini. Malah mereka juga telah dijanji akan dibayar duit pampasan sebanyak RM7000 bagi sebuah rumah. Namun kini mereka memberi alasan kegagalan sesetengah penduduk untuk mendapatkan pinjaman sebab faktor usia dan ada yang disenarai hitam untuk melengahkan mereka. Apa yang menghairankan ialah terdapat beberapa keluarga telah habis membuat bayaran penuh kepada bank untuk rumah yang dijanjikan tetapi masih tidak tahu di manakah rumah mereka. Penduduk rumah panjang sedar akan lokasi yang telah dijanjikan kepada mereka untuk perumahan baru telah bertukar menjadi Subang Permai yang menjadi taman perumahan rumah mewah. Para penduduk hanya menyimpan surat pernjanjian tawaran rumah (SPM) yang diberi oleh Sinar Fadilan Development dan tiada bukti yang lain.

Kini penduduk rumah panjang berhadapan dengan pelbagai masalah. Mereka sedang berhadapan dengan masalah takungan tangki kumbahan. Mereka juga sedang berkongsi satu meter air untuk 114 keluarga dan akan berkongsi bayaran yang melebihi RM2000 sebulan. Malah masalah jenayah dalam kalangan pemuda semakin menjadi serius seperti pengedaran dadah dan juga gengsterism. Malah mereka juga sedang sengsara kerana tiada kemudahan pengangkutan, tiada taman permainan dan masa depan anak- anak mereka menjadi tanda tanya. Berikut ialah soalan yang dituju oleh penduduk rumah panjang Bunga Raya terhadap kerajaan. “Kenapa hal ini tidak mendapat respons daripada UMNO yang dahulunya telah memulakan program perumahan baru buat kami? Adakah hanya rakyat yang bertanggungjawab dalam menyelesaikan segala kesulitan yang dihadapi semasa membuat permohonan di bank. Jadi kenapa kerajaan harus menyuruh penduduk pindah sekiranya mereka tidak dapat menyelesaikan masalah berkenaan bank? Adakah Kerajaan Pakatan akan mengambil berat akan isu ini?”

No Kindergarden for poor Indian children

Prime Minister Najib Razak’s Permata Kindergardens admitting almost all malay muslim children, moving up the luxury of even providing Permata choir and Permata music classes (The Star 12/1/010 at page N 18).

But an estimated 70% or about 100,000 of the Indian children who enrol in Standard One in both Tamil and National schools do not go to kindergartens or have school choirs and music classes.

This is the UMNO Prime Minister’s One Malay-sia.

Compensation for burnt churches, Nothing for temples demolished

Hindu temple demolishments burnt down and relocated next to sewerage ponds but Najib did not pledge RM 500,000.00, Anwar Ibrahim did not condemn the same, Hadi Awang did not visit even one single such Hindu temple, Khairi Jamaluddin did not make a positive statement, Malaysiakini did not report 23 newsreports in one day, etc., as was done when churches were attacked & torched in Malaysia.

But when the Sri Kadagambal Kaliaman Hindu temple was burnt down in 2006 by the police personnel in uniform and a police report lodged and the Muneswarar hindu temple being burnt down in June 2009 during the racial attacks against the Indians in Taiping by the UMNO linked Pakida and Tiga Line criminal elements, there was zero such public reaction.

Playing to the Christian voters in Sabah, Sarawak and the Western Christian world? Western envoys were satisfied with briefing reports NST 12/1/2010 at page 6.

But no such pro-active action from the UMNO Malaysian government, opposition parties, NGOs’ and the Malaysian civil society towards issues affecting Indians, as was in the recent case of the torching of the Assumption Church in Petaling Jaya.

Indian women denied RM 15 million govt alimony aid.

The Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Jamil Khir Baharom made this announcement of RM 15 million alimony aid but it is only for muslim women. What about the poor and working class Indian women who face the highest divorce rate in Malaysia and which is poverty related One Malay-sia?

This is again discrimination against non muslims!
