ADAKAH WAJAR DITUBUHKAN TABUNG BELAAN ARTIS SEBAB KERAJAAN SUDAH ADA JABATAN KEBAJIKAN MASYARAKAT

Utusan Malaysia, Rabu 16th September 2009.

Masa muda bersuka ria tidak mengingat hari tua tetapi apabila sudah tua memohon bantuan kerajaan....Simpanlah untuk hari tua supaya tidak membazir wang pembayar cukai apabila sudah tua! Layakkah mereka menerima bantuan kerajaan?

Saya telah memboikot Utusan Malaysia, iaitu suratkhabar yang pada tanggapan saya berbau perkauman sejak lebih kurang 3 tahun yang lepas. Hari ini semasa sedang membelek suratkhabar Borneo Post, pandangan saya tertumpu pada seorang lelaki yang berumur lebih kurang 50 tahun membaca Utusan Malaysia yang bertajuk Tabung Belaan Artis Akan Diujudkan. Memandangkan berita tersebut agak menarik, maka pada hari ini saya telah membatalkan sementara "Boikot Utusan" saya. Sesampai di rumah saya terus membaca muka surat 16, halaman Dalam Negeri. Setelah habis membacanya, jauh di sudut hati saya berkata alangkah beruntungnya menjadi artis. Semasa muda bersuka-ria serta berhibur di sana-sini, tidak perlu membayar cukai pendapatan, tetapi apabila sudah berumur, wajah sudah tidak tampan lagi, masih boleh hidup dengan bantuan yang diberikan oleh pihak kerajaan. Datuk Rais Yatim iaitu Menteri Penerangan, Kemunikasi dan Kebudayaan mengumumkan pada majlis berbuka puasa bersama warga filem dan karyawan di FINAS Kuala Lumpur, bahawa satu dana/tabung Pembelaan Artis akan ditubuhkan. Alangkah beruntungnya para karyawan dan artis ini.

Di antara artis veteran yang menerima sumbangan kerajaan. Adakah berbaloi menubuhkan tabung khas untuk mereka kera kerajaan sudah ada Jabatan Kebajikan Masayarakat yang boleh menjalankan fungsi yang sama

Di dalam hati saya berkata apakah sumbangan mereka sehingga mendapat pembelaan yang sedemikian rupa? Bukanlah saya tidak setuju dengan langkah yang diambil oleh kerajaan untuk membantu para artis ini. Tetapi penubuhan sebuah tabung khas semata-mata untuk para artis ini pada saya amat kurang wajar. Cukuplah sekiranya mereka ini mendapat pembelaan daripada Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat iaitu sebuah jabatan yang mempunyai fungsi untuk membantu mereka yang kurang bernasib baik seperti ibu tunggal, warga emas, orang kurang upaya serta anak yatim. Pada saya tidak perlulah diadakan sebuah jabatan/Tabung Khas semata-mata untuk membantu para artis kerana ramai lagi orang yang lebih memerlukannya sebagai contoh pesara tentera yang tidak berpencen yang hidup melarat tanpa mendapat bantuan yang cukup daripada kerajaan. Mungkin Rais Yatim akan berkata bahawa kerajaan telah menubuhkan Jabatan Veteran yang fungsi utamanya adalah untuk menjaga kebajikan pesara tentera. Cuba tanya Pengarah Jabatan Veteran di setiap negeri daripada lebih 400, 000 bekas tentera yang berdaftar berapa orangkah yang mendapat faedah bantuan bantuan Jabatan Veteran, dan berapa banyakkah peruntukan yang telah diberikan?

"Pengubalan Akta Veteran bakal memberi menafaat kepada lebih 300,000 bekas tentera yang tidak berpencen....Better late than Never!"

Pada 20 Ogos 2009, Ketua Pengarah Jabatan Hal Ehwal Veteran (JHEV) ATM, Mejar Jeneral Datuk Zulkiflee Mazlan semasa lawatan beliau ke Ipoh berkata, bahawa kerajaan sedang di dalam proses merangka Akta Veteran dan sekiranya diluluskan, bekas tentera yang berkhidmat paling kurang 10 tahun yang dianggarkan seramai lebih kurang 300,000(Sumber JHEV) orang di seluruh negara bakal menikmati pencen. Beliau menjelaskan bahawa pada masa ini, hanya anggota tentera yang berkhidmat dalam tempoh 21 tahun sahaja yang menerima pencen minimum iaitu RM720 sebulan.

Tetapi saya beranggapan bahawa kerajaan sangat lambat bertindak di dalam menangani masalah kebajikan anggota-anggota bekas tentera. Mereka ini berhenti/bersara daripada perkhidmatan atas dasar yang digubal oleh kerajaan. Saya sampai sekarang masih tertanya-tanya mengapakah pada awalnya semua anggota tentera yang berhenti perkhidmatan atas dasar tamat kontrak tidak diberikan pencen.

Telekom Malaysia dan Tenaga Nasional Berhad iaitu dua(2) Jabatan Kerajaan yang telah diswastakan zaman pemerintah Tun Mahathir, kaki tangan mereka dibayar dengan pencen berdasarkan gaji akhir dengan tidak mengambilkira tempoh perkhidmatan seseorang kakitangan. Mengapakah formula yang sama tidak diterima-pakai untuk anggota tentera?

Adakah pengorbanan anggota tentera tidak cukup untuk melayakkan mereka mendapat pencen seperti bekas kakitangan Telekom Malaysia dan Tenaga Nasional Berhad? Cuba bayangkan pengorbanan anggota tentera. Semasa rakyat lain menikmati tidur yang enak dan berpelukan dengan bini (maafkan saya tetapi itulah hakikatnya), anggota tentera terpaksa berjaga di dalam hutan di dalam keadaan sentiasa berwaspada daripada serangan musuh serta nyamuk. Itu tidak termasuk dengan ancaman cuaca seperti hujan dan ribut.

Setelah 10 tahun meninggalkan perkhidmatan sebagai Pegawai Tentera ATM, di hari yang bersejarah ini, iaitu Hari Penubuhan Malaysia, saya ingin memaklumkan bahawa saya tidak pernah mendapat bantuan daripada pihak kerajaan. Pekara ini bukan hanya berlaku kepada bekas pegawai tentera, tetapi juga kepada anggota lain-lain pangkat yang kebanyakan daripada mereka bekerja sebagai Pengawal keselamatan atau pemandu teksi. Kerajaan mungkin beranggapan bahawa mereka telah sedaya upaya membantu bekas tentera melalui Jabatan Veteran. Pada saya Jabatan Veteran hanya alat kempen politik kerajaan. Dari segi keberkesanan saya masih tidak nampak lagi dan perkara ini dapat dibuktikan lagi dengan keadaan hidup bekas tentera terutamanya yang tidak berpencen yang melarat.

Sebelum mengakhiri tulisan saya di dalam weblog ini, sekali lagi saya ingin menegaskan bahawa saya tidak mempunyai perasaan dengki atau irihati dengan usaha serta bantuan yang diberikan kerajaan kepada para artis walaupun semasa usia muda mereka bergulamang dengan nikmat, tidak membayar cukai serta sumbangan mereka yang tidak seberapa, jika dibandingkan dengan sumbangan bekas tentera. Tujuan saya adalah supaya pihak kerajaan memberikan keutamaan kepada bekas tentera di dalam memberikan bantuan.

Saya juga ingin mengingatkan kepada para artis agar sentiasa beringat semasa masih muda dengan menabung agar di hari tua kelak tidak perlu meminta simpati kerajaan serta wang kerajaan/pembayar cukai tidak disalahgunakan ataupun digunakan untuk tujuan yang memberi faedah kepada pembangunan negara.

Dan bagi mewakili 300,000 anggota bekas tentera Malaysia (Pegawai dan lain-lain pangkat), saya ingin menggesa kerajaan agar mempercepatkan kelulusan Akta Veteran demi untuk membela kehidupan bekas tentera.

Terima Kasih

46TH MALAYSIA DAY-CONGRATULATIONS TO MALAYA AND SORRY FOR SABAH AND SARAWAK...YOU ARE BEING COLONISED

"Proclaimation Of the Federation of Malaysia ....The Beginning of Kuala Lumpur Colonisation of Sabah and Sarawak - Bukit Tunggal"

Today, 46 years ago the Federation of Malaysia was formed-up. The federation comprised of Singapore, Malaya, Sabah and Sarawak but Singapore saparated itself from the federation two years later in 1965.

Singapore Independent day is celebrated on 9th August of every year, the date its saparated from Malaya. Historically, Singapore gained its Independent from British on 16th September 1963 the day when its joined Malaysia. But why did Singapore choose its independent day on 9th August and not the 16th September date? The answer is simple. By joining Malaysia, Singapore was still under Kuala Lumpur control or in other word colonised by Kuala Lumpur. Applying the same principle with Singapore, it is obvious to me that that the two states in Borneo, Sabah and Sarawak are still not gaining  its independent therefore should not celebrate the Independent Day. We should celebrate the Malaysian Day.

Therefore with this opportunity, I would like to wish all Malaysians (especially Malayans) a HAPPY 46TH MALAYSIA DAY . As for Sabahans and Sarawakians SORRY GUYS, by looking at the rate of development and the standard of living between Peninsular Malaysia (Malaya) and East Malaysia, WE ARE STILL UNDER MALAYAN COLONISATION!

Released Jemaah Islamaiah (JI) Members Detained Under ISA Should Be Charged On Treason

Jemaah Islamiah (JI) is one of the Muslim extremist that its main goal is to establish a Taliban-style Islamic state across much of Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and the southern Philippines. The group has been listed by the Bush administration as a terrorist organization.

The group was responsible of carrying out the Bali nightclub bombing that killed 202 people and a series of church bombings in Indonesia on Christmas Eve 2000 that killed 19. The group also is accused of killing more than 50 people in bombings in the Philippines, including two blasts in Davao City.

In Indonesia the group inclusive it leader Abu Bakar Bashir were charged under treason but in Malaysia the group members were only detained under ISA, similar punishment with the Hindu's Rights Action Force (Hindraf), a non-violence organization with its main objective is to fight for Malaysian Indian right through memorandum and peaceful demonstrations. Whereas JI is a Muslim Extremist with its main objective is to establish Taliban type Muslim nation in South East Asia. It modus of operandi is to create havoc and to inflict as many casualties as possible especially to the non-Muslim populations.

Based on their modus of operandi, the members of JI group should be charged under treason or Penal Code and punish by death penalty just like what happened to the members of A-Maunah cult.

The announcement by Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein about the release of the five JI detainees of which are Malaysians, will compromised the security of this country. Members of Malaysian JI have been brainwashed by Abu Bakar Beshir and willing to die in order to achieve their causes.

Hishamuddin (Keris Mudin) when spoke to reporters in his office in Putra Jaya said :

“I am satisfied that the detainees that I mentioned had shown positive response to the rehabilitation and that they have shown regret and realization of their actions.

“I really hope that the release of the detained could be done before we celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri so they can be together with their children and relatives,”

The five JI members released are Abdullah Daud, detained for 7 years 6 months, Mat Sah bin Mohd Satray, detained for 7 years and 3 months, Ahmad Kamil bin MD Hanapiah detained for 2 years and 4 months, Mohd Nasir bin Ismail @ Hassan, detained for 2 years and 4 months, and Muhammad Amir bin MD Hanapiah, detained for 2 years and 4 months. In April, a 13 ISA detainees were freed, including five members of the outlawed Hindraf organization, soon after Najib took office.

Bukit Tunggal strongly opposed to the release of the 5 extremists. They should be prosecuted under criminal law and be punished as a criminal, considering the damaged and human casualties inflicted by the group in SEA. So far Malaysians are lucky because the master mind for the group Nordin Mat Top is a Malaysian and the group have not targeting Malaysia yet. Therefore if the modus of operandi of the group diverted to Malaysia, Hishamuddin (Keris Mudin) should be held responsible. And being the ex-Malaysian Armed Forces member myself, I still cannot forget the incident of Pbt Mathiew who was cold bloodedly shot to death by Al-Maunah cult members just because he was a non-Muslim. JI is not different from Al-Maunah, as I said earlier, the government should not release them but instead they should be charged on treason or waging war against the King or Yang DiPertuan Agong!

Malaysian Police Brutality Record

This morning, as I was reading one of the popular English newspaper in Sarawak, I noticed the picturer of YB Chong the Bandar Kuching MP with a youth whose face was seen with bruises in home section of the said newspaper. As I read further, my blood was boiling with anger. How could the police whose duties were to protecting citizens done such brutality. According to the newspaper report, on Saturday, 12th September 2009, a youth was punched and slapped several times by the policemen stationed at Kuching International Airport (KIA) before he was sent to Siburan Police Station for detention. And the next day, upon his released from Siburan Police station, accompanied by his parents, he went to the police station to make a police report but the police station refused to record his statements. His statement was only taken by the police when he came to the police station but this time he was accompanied by YB Chong Police brutality is normal in Malaysia. Remember about Alantuya murder, a former mistress of Razak Baginda? She was murdered by two members of the Malaysian police special Branch who were the PM’s aide-de-camp. Her body was blown to bits in a secondary forest in the outskirt of Kuala Lumpur in 2006 by the use of C4 explosive. Both of the murderers were sentenced to death penalty. The latest high profile police brutality incident in Malaysia was recorded in January 2008 when a suspect car theft name Kugan was found dead while in police custody. The incident not only enraged the Indian communities but also angered majority of the Malaysian populations.

Kugan's Death ...An example of Police Brutality.

Police brutality is a form of police misconduct in which officers engage in an excessive use of force. The definition of “excessive use of force” is a bit fluid, but it is generally taken to mean force well beyond what would be necessary to cope with a situation. For example, a police officer who beat a nonviolent protester with a baton would probably be accused of excessive use of force, under the argument that the officer probably could have dealt with the situation much less violently. The Top Malaysian Police Brutality In Malaysia, the most popular police brutality was involved Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim (DSAI) and Tan Sri Rahim who was then the Inspector General of Police (IGP). In 1998 incident, DSAI was beaten while in police custody by the then IGP Tan Sri Rahim Noor and suffered injuries including on his left eye which has since been referred to the infamous ‘black-eye’ incident. Tan Sri Rahim Noor, later admitted he had assaulted Anwar following a Royal Commission of Inquiry probe in 1999. And on 16 March 2000 Tan Sri Rahim Noor was sentenced to a two moths’ jail and fined the maximum RM 2,000 . Police Brutality Record In Malaysia Since 1993 until June 2002 Since 1993 until June 2002, Malaysia Human Right Commission (Or known as SUHAKAM) recorded a total of 50 cases of Police brutality against the suspects or witnesses.

Vijayan, 33, was not only beaten up but also abused in a cruel manner… The Star, Saturday, June 29, 2002, page 14 Is there Any Law That Addresses Police Brutality Several nations around the world have laws which specifically address police brutality. Under these laws, complaints about excessive use of force must be taken seriously, and investigated by a commission or District Attorney. In fact, as human rights organizations have discovered, many complaints about excessive use of force by police officers are not investigated, and if they are, the finding is usually that the police officer acted appropriately. Only rarely are police subjected to disciplinary action as a result of an investigation. In Malaysia, other than Tan Sri Rahim, I have no heard any policemen being prosecuted due to their brutalities.Many believed that the failure to prevent and act upon police brutality is probably related to the insular culture of police forces. Because police are authorized and in fact expected to use force when necessary, some investigations also find it difficult to fault an officer for acting aggressively in a policing situation. Situations on the street can change rapidly and they are difficult to control, making it easy to justify a use of force which might seem excessive. Some police forces now routinely record all interactions with civilians so that these records can be reviewed in the event of an investigation.In many societies, police brutality and profiling of minorities are closely intertwined. Members of the dominant race, religion, class, or ethnic group are, for the most part, treated with respect by the police, while minorities may find themselves targeted by police officers. The same scenario is experienced by the Indian community in Malaysia. See the letter from HINDRAF here.

Based on SUHAKAM record above, most of the brutality committed by the Malaysian Police were done to get the information or to force the accused person to confess to the crime, or in the case of innocent person to force him/her to confess to the crime that he/she had never done- which aim to close their investigation at shortest time possible! The police must make a reform especially in their interrogation method. The Malaysian Police's interrogation techniques date back to British colonial times. The techniques can be described in three ways. First, coercion, using physical force to make a person submit and confess to false things. Second is persuasion. There will be two faces of the interrogators, one soft and kind, and the other a brutal one. Third is deception. For example, 'If you tell us what you have, or confess, you can be released'. But often, after agreeing to "confess," one will simply be tossed back in jail with the person coerced confession used against her/him.

Malaysian Police must stop brutality and inhumane treatment against your fellow malaysians!

The Differences Between the Anti-Muslim Protest in UK and A Cow Head Protest in Shah Alam.

"FART YOU THE COW HEAD PROTESTERS AND UMNO'S SUPPORTERS"

On 28th August 2009 about three days before Malayan celebrates it 56th Independent Day from Britian, A group, claiming to be Muslim residents of Section 23 in Shah Alam, the new site of the temple which is to be relocated, held a demonstration outside the Selangor state secretariat, dragging a severed cow-head, an animal sacred in Hinduism, which they stomped and spat. According to the spokemen of the group Mohd. Zurit(Sound like burit or ass) Bin Ramli, they protest the building of the temple because 90% of the population in the area were muslims( later confirmed only 60% were Muslims), and according to him

“With a temple on our residential area, we cannot function properly as Muslims. The temple will disrupt our daily activities like prayers in the Surau. We cannot concentrate with the sounds coming from the temple. The temple will also will cause traffic jam ".

The protest took place under the gaze of the riot police, the government agency which is popular with their inhumane treatment against the opposition protesters, without taking any action what to say to disperse the protesters The next day, The Home Minister Hishamuddin Hussien (or popularly known as Keris Mudin among oppositions) said five days later that the residents of Section 23 should not be charged as they only wanted their voices to be heard but it was unfortunate that “the publicity they received was negative as it was linked with racial and religious sentiments.” But on 3rd September 2009 he changed his stand amid mounting pressure from Pakatan Rakyat that wanted him to be sacked as the Home Minister.

Muslim Protesters in England! In Great Britian angered by a protest mounted by a bearded Islamists during British soldiers returning from Iraq, holding up signs accusing the men of being "butchers" ,"baby-killers and “Anglian Soldiers Go to Hell’ English Defense League, tried to mount a protest in Birmingham, where they clashed with anti-fascist demonstrators. In August 2009 , the League's second attempt at a Birmingham protest quickly descended into violence, with some 200 people, many of them of South Asian descent, seen fighting, throwing projectiles and running from riot police. Police made 90 arrests. The latest incident on Friday, 11th Sep 2009, an openly Islamophobic group, Stop Islamification of Europe (SIOE), promised an evening protest outside a northwest London mosque to coincide with the eighth anniversary of Sept. 11 and with Ramadan, the Muslim holy month.Only a handful of demonstrators showed up — and they were vastly outnumbered by Muslims c0ming to defend the mosque.Police hustled the protesters away from the angry crowd. But television footage showed Muslim youths racing through the streets shouting "Allahu Akbar!", waving Islamic banners and throwing projectiles at riot police. Scotland Yard reported 10 arrests. And on Saturday, 12th September 2009, Communities Minister John Denham accused the anti-Islam protesters of deliberately stirring up trouble.

"The tactic of trying to provoke a response in the hope of causing wider violence and mayhem is long established on the far-right and among extremist groups," Denham was quoted as saying by The Guardian newspaper. "You could go back to the 1930s if you wanted to — Cable Street."

Can we see the different between how the government and its agencies handled the incidences in Shah Alam and in England?

In Shah Alam the protest happening in front the riot police, just because they were Muslims and mooted by UMNO their boss, no actions were taken either to disperse or to arrest the protesters. And five days later, the UMNO minister who was in-charge of internal affairs of the nation announced that he did not blame them for their actions.

Where as in Great Britain, both of the groups were protected and arrested by the Police. And the next day, the minister who himself was a Christian, condemned openly the action of the SIOE. As a conclusion Hishamuddin and the police must be faired and seen fair to all Malaysian irrespective of religions and races. Being the public servants they must serve all Malaysians, or they should not holding the job entrusted to them.

As for Hishamuddin (Keris Mudin) his personality is not suitable for an Internal Affairs Minister...BUKIT TUNGGAL.

Khir faces MACC investigation

"Khir Toyo The Most Corrupted and inhumane Chief Minister Malaysia ever Produced. Now he will face the most brutal and inhumane Government Agency (the MACC)"

Friday, 11 Sep 2009.

(NST) PUTRAJAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission has started its probe against Datuk Seri Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo for alleged corruption when he was the Selangor Menteri Besar. Sources said MACC had opened two investigation papers against the politician. He will be investigated over an estimated RM1 million that Permodalan Negeri Selangor Bhd (PNSB) spent on him, his wife, their children and maid during the company's tours to France, Morocco and United States between 2004 and 2007. The costs incurred included two study tours to Disneyland in Paris and Orlando, in the United States, where PNSB allegedly paid some RM110,000 for suites for Dr Khir and entrance tickets to Disneyland. An investigation paper has also been opened in regard to his controversial ownership of a "palatial mansion" in Section 7, Shah Alam, that is reportedly worth RM24 million.The Balinese-themed mansion became a hot topic at the Selangor state assembly several months ago. State assemblyman Ng Suee Lim (DAP-Sekinchan) had questioned Dr Khir's financial means for the purchase of the property, which is situated on two plots of land measuring 4645 sq m or 0.47ha, when he was menteri besar. Dr Khir had said he bought it with a bank loan of RM3.5 million, an amount that was well within his means as he had been a businessman. It is learned that Dr Khir, who lost his bid for the Umno Youth chief's post in the last party polls despite being cleared of money politics by the MACC then, had been summoned to the MACC headquarters here. The Sungai Panjang assemblyman is expected to have his statement recorded this morning.

Bau Police Station "Forbidden City"-Another PKFZ Scandal By Barisan Nasional Government

12th January 2009. Bau Police Station was worst hit by flood on 12 January 2009. The police station was flooded because of the corruption practice by BN representative in selecting the site and also due to poor planning (incompetent) of government servants involved in the project.

Saturday, 5th September 2009.

On my way back from Serikin this afternoon, I saw the contruction of the retaining wall for Bau Police station flood mitigation project was still in progress.Out of coriousity I went to the construction site to see the construction work . Being the train Safety Officer myself, going into the construction site without wearing a proper PPE and without escort is a serious safety violation and if caught can be excluded from the area immediately but for the sake of tax payers monies, I took a risk. Upon reaching the conntruction site, I parked my poor Kembara by the roadside. Equipped with my Sony Ericsson digital camera, I managed to take few photographs of the construction work without any problem.

The level of the road to the police station is being raised to avoid flood -Poor Planning and corruption practice by BN Politician

Is this Pehin Taib 13th Dam?

Since its completion, the new Bau Police Distric has been hit by flood for so many times. Many believed the problem was due to the corrupt practices by the Barisan Nasional politician for choosing the wrong site, and secondly due to the incompetent government officers that involved in the project.

The first of its kind in the world!

Because of a corrupted politician and the incompetent government officer, the government has to spent RM 34 million of the tax payers monies (eventhough it was estimated earlier at RM 31.9 million).

Once completed, the RM 34 million retaining wall that sorrounding Bau police station will becoming the only police station that is guarded by more than 12 feet height concrete wall in the world. Thus will make Bau Police Station as the “ Forbidden City" of Malaysia .

This is not Bakun nor Taib 13th Dam!

Gigantic Flood Mitigation Wall..this was where our monies gone to!

To cover-up Barisan Nasional blunder,Douglas Ugah, the Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, told the reporters when visited the project yesterday said :

“This project is costing RM34 million and is expected to be completed by end of November. I am very pleased with the project that went ahead of schedule proving that Bumiputera contractors are capable of doing a very good job. This project would be able to protect Bau town from flash flood at highest rate of rainfall in 100 years – 300 milimeter” .

Bukit Tunggal would like to Congratulate all the Barisan Nasional Politician for their brilliance in siphoning off the tax payers monies...just like their mentor Tok Uban. Let’s wait for the MACC to investigate this yet another BN blunders in Sarawak.

Cow Head Protest In Shah Alam Can Happen in Sarawak If The Non-Muslims in Sarawak Having A Short Minded Mentality

I was shocked to read in the english portals on how about 50 muslim in the watchful eyes of about one section strength of (incompetence) policemen marched into a State Secretariat building in Shah Alam with severly cut and still bleeding cow head. The group also threatened the state government that there will be a blood shed unless their demand to relocate the construction of a Sri Mahamariamman temple to Section 22 are met.

The action of the group can provoke racial tension between the muslim and hindu in the state. In condemning the action of the group, Khairy Jamaluddin the UMNO youth head said the action will anger the Hindus, adding those who organised the protest should consider their actions if others protested the building of mosques in non-Malay areas by burning and stepping on the Quran. “Won’t the Malays be enraged. If yes, isn’t the cow head protest equally insulting?” he asked, adding he would equally defend Islam against its detractors and other religions too. According to Hinduism cow is a sacred animal.

And about the comment of Selangor Police Chief , that the police only going to take action if someone make a police report. I could not believed that such an excuse came from the head of Selangor police force, the man who is responsible toward the inernal security of the state. Dont the police have done the Tactical Appreciation on how and what to do in any situation?. Tell us if an by a group of people that can cause racial tension and happening infront of a section strength of policemen has to wait for a Police Report before they can spring into action. I'm doubt whether our policfemen are compentent enough? or they are part of the group.

And ACP Noor Azam Jamaludin the Shah Alam OCPD (see photo) said they cannot take police action in votile situation as its may spark more anger.....well just let thesituation deteriorated or racial tension than the police can take action, i.e using tear gas or water canon?

To the group that participate in this cow head protest, please come to Sarawak, and see it yourself how the non-muslims and muslim live peacefully with each other. Few long houses especially in N25 Balai Ringin (as an example) , where only less than 5 families are muslim, the mosques are built side by side with the churches or longhouses. And in some of the housing estates, with 90% non-muslims of whose majority are Christians, they never protest what to say stepping on the Quran. Another good example is where a big mosque was built in an army camp (Penrissen Camp) where majority or about 80% of the population within the camp vacinity are non-muslim.

If we all love this country, the Muslims must learn to understand and to co-exist with the Malaysians from the other faiths.

Our past leaders had sacrificed a lot in order to make Malaysia as one of the successful multi-racial nation. Malaysian image has been tattered by one of the most wanted terrorist, a Muslim from Malaysia. Don't make our image in tatters further with such an action which can destroy this lovely nation Malaysia. I strongly believe that many Muslim in Malysia disagreed with the action of the group that call themselves a Section 23 Resident's Commitee.

To the police force, please be fair and to be seen as fair when executing your noble duties. Be proactive in doing your work.

The Christians, Hindus and Buddhism leaders had issued their statements and condemned the action of those 200 muslims, What about the muslim ulamas in the country. Islam must be seen as a religion of telorance not only in words but also in action.

PRESS STATEMENT BY HINDRAF RELATED TO THE INCIDENT

ON FRIDAY, 28TH AUGUST 2009

Saturday, 29th August 2009.

HINDRAF condemns the latest incident involving the act of placing a severed cow’s head outside the gates of the state secretariat building in Selangor.HINDRAF believes UMNO and their cohorts in the Royal Police Force (PDRM) organized this act that is inflammatory with an intention to incite and create racial hatred and feelings between the Muslims and Hindus.These perpetrators were able to walk over 300 metres in open public and conduct their seditious speeches calling openly for bloodshed, and racial chaos without any interference from the police force. So far nothing has been done by the PDRM or the AG’s department other than issuing lip service statements.Selangor Police chief Khalid Abu Bakar states “If a report is lodged, we will definitely take the necessary action". Here we are talking about an outright and outrageous act in fanning racial hatred that could threaten the public security and he claims he needs a police report before an action can be taken.The police had on many previous occasions brutally arrested and questioned peaceful protesters without any reasons for fear of public security, but they would need a report before they can take any action for those incitingviolence and parading in the public with a severed cow’s head to undermine the sensitivity of the Hindus. This is absurd and nonsensical.Who else could practice such double standard other the UMNO led government and its stooges and that is why HINDRAF believes that this is the work of the UMNO government to create unrest in Selangor.There is no distinction between a Muslim dominated areas and non-Muslim dominated areas as Malaysia is one multiracial and multicultural society living together side by side in co-existence in respect of each other’s race,religious practice and beliefs.Instead of promoting harmony amongst Malaysians, UMNO is fast becoming a public threat by protecting such devious and extremist acts.UMNO should curtail such irresponsible acts rather than seeding and sowing hatred, bullying extremist elements and fascist mindset amongst the fanatical Muslims for their own political survival.PM Najib has to immediately issue a statement and make a firm stand on the subject and not delegate this paramount duty to his “mandores” and eventually hoping for the whole issue to be swept under thecarpet.If the AG’s department fails to charge these perpetrators, HINDRAF would proceed to formally lodge complaints with the UN Human Rights Council, European Parliament, UK Foreign affairs select committee andthe Global Human Rights Defence based in The Hague.In solidarity for a harmonious Malaysia Hindraf calls upon all peaceful citizens who respect and cherish Religious Freedom and the right to co-exist to join us on a peaceful candle vigil at Dataran Merdeka on 5th September 2009 at 6.45pm.Thank you.
