PAS, PKR and DAP are not very much different from the previous 50 year UMNO regime? UMNO had used their MIC mandores to oppress, suppress, marginalise and exclude the Indians from the national mainstream development of Malaysia. And now PAS, PKR and DAP are following suit.
This PKR Indian Exco Mandore (like the previous UMNOs’ MIC mandore) has to cheek to say that this Pekaka estate crematorium is illegal when it has operated for over 100 years.
This PKR Indian Exco mandore or their PAS, PKR or DAP “tuans” should try saying that a muslim or Chinese burial ground is illegal. They will know what will happen! So they pick on the poor andworking class Indians who are politically and economically weak as their victims.

Kuala Ketil Police Report No: Kuala Ketil/001864/09
Police siding PAS Kedah government (in crematorium demolishment)
We have lodged two police reports on 24/11/09 and 10/12/09 that the PAS led Kedah State government together with PKR and DAP are intending to demolish our Batu Pekaka, Kuala Ketil hindu burial site and crematorium. But the police did not take any action or protect this our hindu burial site. Yesterday (15/12/09) the PAS led Kedah state government uprooted a few old trees inside the said burial site compound.
In fact it is a crime further to Section 297 of the Penal Code for trespassing on burial places etc and which is punishable with up to one year jail what more desecrating a burial place.
This morning I was informed by a local MIC leader and the Baling Police Station that the Deputy OCPD of Baling wants to see us, we believe to facilitate the demolishment of this burial site which we do not agree. I was told that the fencing to the burial site would be demolished today. Why are the police not taking any action and siding the PAS state government?
And why did the police not stop the said PAS government? Why hasn’t the police arrested the criminals and the Attorney General not prosecuted the relevant criminals up to date especially when there is no High Court Order authorizing this demolishment. Also when we have written to the Kedah Menteri Besar vide our letter dated 11/12/09 for the preservation of this burial site and for which we are yet to receive a reply.
Why hasn’t there been any police protection for this our hindu burial site. Because the police know that we are a weak community politically and economically?
We now want 24 hours police protection for this our burial site and would also hold the Inspector General of Police responsible for failing to uphold justice law and order if this burial site is demolished.
We have asked for an urgent appointment with this PAS led Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Azizan vide our aforesaid letter. As he has not replied to our letter but has started damaging our burial site we will be going to his office in a delegation and our supporters on Sunday 20/12/09. We hereby ask for police protection.
Temujanji segera dengan YAB pada 20/12/2009 diiringi P. Uthayakumar dan penyokong-penyokong.
Kami merujuk kepada perkara yang tersebut di atas dan kepada surat kami kepada YAB yang bertarikh 10/12/2009 dan kepada perbualan telefon di antara Setiausaha Sulit YAB En Helmi dan En P. Uthayakumar dari pejabat kami pada hari yang sama.
Kami merasa amat kesal yang kami telah tidak menerima sebarang jawapan dari YAB walaupun perkara ini adalah segera tetapi pada 15/12/2009 beberapa batang pokok telah ditebang di perkarangan kubur tersebut. Dan kami telah diberitahu yang pada hari ini pagar kubur hindu kami ini pula akan dirobohkan dan kubur kami pada bila-bila masa..
Dalam keadaan ini dan memandangkan perkara ini yang sangat segara, pihak kubur hindu Gabungan Persatuan Tamilar Kuala Ketil dengan diiringi oleh P. Uthayakumar dari parti kami juga merangkap Penasihat Undang-undang dan Peguam kami terdesak untuk hadir bersama penyokong- penyokong di pejabat YAB pada 20/12/2009 bersamaan hari Ahad jam 2.00 petang untuk berjumpa dengan sendiri dengan YAB dengan tujuan untuk mengekalkan kubur bersejarah dan warisan masyarakat India di negeri Kedah ini.
Hanya YAB sahaja yang mempunyai kuasa menurut Seksyen 76 Kanun Tanah Negara dan dengan dibaca bersama Seksyen 3 Land Acquisition Act untuk membantu mengekalkan kubur bersejarah dan warisan kami ini. Dalam apa-apa keadaan sekalipun kami meminta supaya Mandore EXCO PKR, mandore S B polis India berpangkat ASP atau mana-mana mandore India yang lain tidak turut serta dalam mesyuarat dengan YAB ini.
Ini adalah olehkerana perjuangan kami turut merangkumi penghapusan sistem mandore oleh PAS, PKR, DAP dan UMNO dan kami sebaliknya mahu berhubung secara terus dengan pihak berkuasa yang mempunyai kuasa dan tidak mandor-mandor mereka.
Hindraf is dead set against the National Civics Bureau (BTN) courses as it demonises the movement's chairperson P Waythamoorthy in its modules as Public Enemy No 1.
Hindraf is dead set against the National Civics Bureau (BTN) courses as it demonises the movement's chairperson P Waythamoorthy in its modules as Public Enemy No 1.
It's political wing, the Human Rights Party's pro-tem secretary-general P Uthayakumar alleged that the Nov 25, 2007 Hindraf protests are screened at BTN courses, and an image of Waythamoorthy is shown, captioned as 'musuh utama negara' (public enemy number one).
Meanwhile, DAP's Kota Alam Shah assemblyperson, M Manoharan said he feared for Indian Malaysians as BTN trainees have systematically implemented Umno's racist, religious and supremacist policies.
"The standard operating procedure is to implement (what is) taught at BTN courses. They are attemping to portray Indians as dangerous and violent people," said Manoharan.
He said he "now understood" why a backlog in citizenship applications exists, alleging it was for the "for the benefit of the Malays".
He suggested that to undo the damage by BTN, an alternative course be held which reflects a fair and accurate picture.
'Khalid has repented'
When asked Selangor Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim's speeches for the BTN, Manoharan said that Khalid has realised his mistake and has regretted since.
Uthayakumar called for formation of a truth and reconciliation commission, which he said "would allow us to undo the past and move on."
BTN courses have been under scrutiny following revelations that the courses promote racial supremacy instead of national unity. The bureau comes under the preview of the Prime Minister's Department.
Pakatan Rakyat-ruled state have banned their staff from attending the courses. Selangor is holding a public forumto discuss the ban tomorrow.
The heated debates over the matter prompted Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak to instruct all parties, ministers included, to halt the polemics as he plans to review the BTN modules.
The Kharavelan Jain kingdom had a formidable maritime empire with trading routes linking it to Sri Lanka, Burma, Thailand, Vietnam, Borneo, Bali, Sumatra and Java. Colonists from Kalinga settled in Sri Lanka, Burma, and the Maldive and Indonesian archipelagos. Even today Indians are referred to as Keling[6]in Malaysia because of this.
Kalinga is mentioned in the Adiparva, Bhismaparva, Sabhaparva, Banaprava of Mahabharata so also is the conquest of Karna. Kalinga King Srutayu stated to have fought the Mahabharat war for the Kauravas. Kalinga is also mentioned as Calingae in Megasthenes' book on India - Indica & Megasthenes states that Magadha & Kalinga were Jain Dominant Kingdoms:
"The Prinas and the Cainas (a tributary of the Ganges) are both navigable rivers. The tribes which dwell by the Ganges are the Calingae, nearest the sea, and higher up the Mandei, also the Malli, among whom is Mount Mallus, the boundary of all that region being the Ganges." (Megasthenes fragm. XX.B. in Pliny. Hist. Nat. V1. 21.9-22. 1.[7])
"The royal city of the Calingae is called Parthalis. Over their king 60,000 foot-soldiers, 1,000 horsemen, 700 elephants keep watch and ward in "procinct of war." (Megasthenes fragm. LVI. in Plin. Hist. Nat. VI. 21. 8-23. 11.[7])
The Kalinga script (ref), derived from Brahmi, was used for writing. Among the offshoots, Kalinga script had the maximum resemblance with the parent script, Brāhmī and later modified to Oriya script in the beginning of the second millennium. This makes the Oriya Script as the most distinctive and least distorted script among the Indic scripts. [1]

The attacking of fellow Malaysians by the mainstream media Utusan Malaysia because of their race is unwarranted and most uncalled for. I remember in the late forties when I was a little boy living in my hometown of Raub, Pahang.
I used to pass road gangs of Tamil labourers toiling in the midday's scorching sun from dawn till dusk. Armed with only picks and shovels, they would be hacking at solid rocks to carve out roads along the mountain side.
They had no proper attire, just a withered white towel tied in turban form on their heads. They would wrap rags around their spindly legs to prevent the hot molten tar from scalding them as they went about their chores.
Yet they had time to smile and wave at passing cars. They used to be referred to as 'coolies' and their slave-like living quarters as coolie lines. My late father used to tell us that most of the roads in Malaya at the turn of the century were built solely by Indian labour.
They toiled in the malaria-infested rubber estates, living with their families in filthy inhuman conditions. The white 'tuan' treated them like slaves and allowed them to indulge in drinking toddy to forget their woes .
Yet again it was the same coolies called 'toties' who serviced our bucket system latrines until the early sixties as there were no takers for this job from the other races. I have seen for myself these 'toties' cleaning the rubber tubs at a stream not far from my house with their bare hands.
In short, when there was any dirty, menial job to be done, it was this Tamil coolie, then often called by the derogatory term 'keling', that did it for us.
Now times have changed and their offsprings have made much progress in all fields and want to take their rightful place in our society .Let's not pour scorn on them and laugh away their pride.
As a soldier I know that many of my Indian/Tamil friends who fought and died for this country . They all are a part of those who stood by us during the good and bad times, they have helped make this country great.
A country which rightfully belongs to all Malaysians.
Today 13th December 2009 is the 2nd year black anniversary of the detention of four Hindraf lawyers on 13/12/2007 under the draconian ISA.
About 50 Hindraf and HRP supporters gathered at the front of the HRP office at Jalan Abdullah, Bangsar and carrying an anti ISA banner walked peacefully to the nearby Nageswary Amman Hindu Temple with cries of “Hindraf Valga”, “Makkal Sakthi Valga”, “Manitha Urimai Valga” and “Mansuhkan ISA” exercising Article 10 of the Federal Constitution (Right to assemble peacefully).
Since 10.00 am there was heavy police presence in the vicinity of the HRP office.
As the peaceful assemblers were walking one Superintendant Azri stopped and tried to snatch the banner which was pulled back.
He then told us that this was an unlawful procession and the 50 or so crowd walked in groups of three.
After prayers and outside the temple and on the way back to the HRP office, S.Jayathas who was wearing an anti ISA badge was singled out and arrested on the orders of Superintendent Azri. When P. Uthayakumar asked the Supt for the grounds of the arrest as is required to be given under Article 5 of the Federal Constitution, the Supt merely said “siasatan awal”.When P.Uthayakumar suggested that the Supt did not know the law he put up a front of being unperturbed.S.Jayathas was handcuffed from behind which is usually done for hardcore criminals.
S.Jayathas an end renal failure kidney patient last underwent his kidney dialysis on Friday morning (11/12/2009).We now fear for his health as he needs urgent dialysis attention as he told us this morning that he had breathing difficulties.
This once again shows UMNOs’ high handedness and exercising of power with impunity.

HRP’S BREAKING NEWS: HRP’S S.Jayathas arrested on ISA black second year anniversary 13/12/2009 at 2.45pm when walking with a group of 50 HRP and Hindraf supporters from the Headquarters of HRP at Jalan Abdullah to the nearby Nagaswari Amman Hindu Temple 5 minutes away.
Haiyo. Small thing like this still want to arrest.
A short prayer ceremony to mark the Internal Security Act (ISA) detention of five Hindraf leaders two years ago was marred by the arrest of one of the movement’s key leaders S Jayathas.
His alleged crime – wearing an anti-ISA button badge.
Shortly after leaving a Hindu temple in Bangsar Utama where the prayers were held, a uniformed police officer grabbed Jayathas and said the arrest was because the latter had sported the button badge.
The police had been a little quiet since the days of the wanton Perak vigil arrests, but it seems they are back to their old nonsense now.
Thankfully, Jayathas has been released, but seriously – what on earth was all the fuss about? One little badge threatening national security?
And fifty cops needed for this whole operation? A dozen in riot gear?
Need we any clearer indicators that our police are hopelessly mismanaged? Out hunting badges when they could be stopping crime?
The 4 Hindraf lawyers were arrested on that fateful day.
On that day, the main protagonist among the power elite, UMNO now began a phase of open assault on the Indian community. Before the 13th of December, they had operated in a behind the scene conniving relationship of the Tuan-Mandore type. Tuan UMNO and Mandore MIC. On the 13th of December 2007, all that changed. The Tuan’s hand lay exposed.
Before that day, they had used subtler and I daresay treacherous methods of
control of this ‘noisy Keling’ community . They had slanted the perceptions of these ‘Kelings’ using the media by creating illusions of a benevolent government. They had bought influence through bribing and throwing crumbs at the impoverished and marginalized ‘Kelings’. They had kept the ‘Kelings’ ignorant and misinformed, They had taken away any modicum of true leadership for these otherwise ‘noisy Kelings’.
The Indians had awakened to this grand drama of 50 years and it was all upturned on the 25th of Nov 2007. On that day the Indians saw a way to marshall their discontent in one synchronous flow. Getting together and throwing away all illusions, they united and in one grand stand that day, they showed a very strong hand. A hand that reverbrated and had the capacity to change the political landscape.
That was too threatening to the ruling power elite of the country. Their 50 year, Tuan Mandore game was up. There was to be no more waiting. The gloves came off 18 days after the Grand Hindraf Rally on the 13th of December 2007. The ‘kecoh Keling’ had to be dealt with and disposed off as had been done to various other rebellions in the past – through force, through fear, through intrigue and through treachery directly and openly by the Tuans themselves now..
That was the starting point for the “now-not-so invisible hand” of the power elite to begin its machinations against this restless Indian populace.
·Put away the leader, Uthayakumar using the Internal Security Act
·Introduce a special branch mole into the rebellion, and elevate him to the status of a leader.
·Create an illusion of a split among the 5 arrested on the 13th by manipulating them during the detention.
·Confuse the awakened Indians by reporting in the media the damage being done by the mole barely a month into the detention period.
·Give the power elite controlled mainstream media, full latitude to spread falsehoods by playing up the cooked up claims and allegations of the mole against the true leader of Hindraf.
·Link the Hindraf movement to the LTTE with fabricated evidence – ala Weapons ofMass Destruction in Iraq.
·Persecute the movement that started all this by more arrests and more unjust charges in court.
·Outlaw Hindraf altogether.
The 13th of December signified the beginning of this assault which continues till today two years after, in so many ways. I project the assault will continue till there is a completely new concept of the Malaysian Nation and of completely new National policies. Policies which fully recognizes the rights of every citizen regardless of ethnicity and makes reparation for the damages and neglect of the Indian marginalized over the last 50 plus years.
As Uthayakumar says in the video before his ISA arrest, he is prepared to lead the Indian community till the objectives are reached. He is not intimidated by threats to his personal liberty. He will continue to struggle because there is just no other choice to throw off this mantle of tyranny and injustice. The privileged few are not going to change just for the asking. So Uthayakumar will continue his struggle and we will be there with him in that struggle as will many of you . There will therefore be more Dec 13th s until this system based on tyranny and injustice is totally demolished.
Well actually it's the same as Part I because I think they're virtually the same people. Yet another bunch of unattractive slow-witted men who try to make up for their lack of vocabulary by shouting and trying to get some legitimacy by making a police report.
I'm not going to put up the video here because somehow videos don't come out right on my blog and I don't know how to fix them (they come out too big). Besides why should I give them more airtime? So am just going to post the link here.
But let me just say this. This is what I call ketuanan porn. It's for people who get off on having their 15 minutes of fame not by doing anything good for humanity but by showing off how low-grade their mentality is. They can't even get the name of their own organisation right and somehow seem to think that May 13 happened on May 16. Must be a reflection on the state of our schools.
If this is 'supremacy', they can have it.
And if these are 'first class' citizens, I'd rather travel in cattle class, thank you very much.
The gall of it is at the end of their little tantrum, they do a 1Malaysia ( or as one of them put it, Oh-nay Malaysia) cheer.
Hip, hip, hooray, get me out of here!
Oh, and another thing...where do all these 'NGOs' (do they even realise that NGO stands for 'non-governmental organisation'? In bahasa penjajah no less...) spring up from? Usually it takes two years for the Registrar of Societies to approve the establishment of any NGOs. So how come these types of 'NGOs', filled with lunkheads spewing hate, are profilerating like mushrooms? Can we ask the RoS if they've approved them?
The rally's estimated to be 100 000 people gathered outside the Petronas Twin Towers at midnight, early Sunday morning.At least 240 people were detained, but half of them were later released. One day before the rally, police arrested three HINDRAF lawyers, P. Uthayakumar, P. Waytha Moorthy and V. Ganabatirau for sedition charges. Uthayakumar and Ganabatirau posted bail of 800 Malaysian ringgits each, but Waytha Moorthy refused bail as a sign of protest.
Meanwhile, DAP's Kota Alam Shah assemblyperson, M Manoharan said he feared for Indian Malaysians as BTN trainees have systematically implemented Umno's racist, religious and supremacist policies.
