UPDATE2: I Heard that the person instructed to demolish the Temple is now suspended pending investigation. Now this what we need Proactive goverment. Good Job Pakatan Keep it up.
UPDATE: One of the Dailies in Malaysia stated that the Temple committee decided to tear down the temple for fce lift. If that is true the I apologies to Pakatan but I have 2 questions.
1/ What the Heck the officers doing there if it was committee who decide to tear down? were they looking for part time job?
2/ Why no members of the committee came up to explain if it was truly their decision?
As far as i know, Once Hindu Temples constructed, it will take a lot rituals to move the temple especially if the Temple is very old Temple.
Dudes, wake up dont play with religion. Its dangerous man.

Temple demolition: ‘Officers acted against state directive’
By DHARMENDER SINGH, EDWARD RAJENDRA and A. LETCHUMANAN
KLANG: The Ampang Jaya Municipal Council (MPAJ) officers who tore down a Hindu temple had acted against a state government directive barring the destruction of places of worship.
State Local Government, Study and Research Committee chairman Ronnie Liu said the state government had issued an order asking all local councils to halt such actions against all places of worship.
It had issued the directive when it first came into power after the March 8 general election.
The Sri Maha Kaliamman temple in Kampung Tasik, Jalan Baru in Ampang was torn down on Sept 9.
These officers had openly defied the order, he said, and had also by-passed the committee on non-Muslim affairs headed by state executive councillors Teresa Kok, Dr Xavier Jayakumar and Liu himself.
“I contacted the council president a day after the incident and asked him investigate the matter and identify those involved.
“I was told he has submitted a preliminary report to my office but I have not read it since I am away in China now; it would be unfair for me comment further on the incident until I have done so,” he said when contacted on Thursday.
Liu had told a press conference a day after the incident that he was upset with the council officers’ move and warned they would face stern action, including being given the sack.
MIC President Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu also condemned the action, saying it went against the Opposition’s promise during the election campaign not to demolish any temples.
“It is very careless of the local council to demolish the temple without first relocating the temple,” he said in a statement.
After being informed of the demolition of the temple on Wednesday, Selangor MIC Youth chief M. Yogeswaran immediately lodged a report at the Ampang Jaya police station.
Human Resources Minister Datuk S. Subramaniam said the MIC was extremely disappointed with the Pakatan Rakyat state government and the Ampang Jaya Municipal Council (MPAJ).
“Our stand all along has been that if a temple needs to be relocated due to road expansion or some other major development, it can be relocated with the agreement that a new place of worship be built in an ideal area,” he said.

What a an eye opener, So this has nothing to do with political parties. It has a lot to do with DUMB mentality of these dumb idiot officers or is it?

This GOD Forsaken country. The moment One has no respect for another's religion, the moment one being fanatic about his/her religion and starts bitching about other religion, Then it is the moment to pack your bags and leave.

916 Came and Went.
Another promise made, and broken. It seems for politicians, making promises are like giving out candies and poor layman has to live and strife on these words. When a promise is broken trust is also broken. As for that matter I never trusted politicians.
A lot of hope and trust were trashed on 16/9/2008. As I have written before, Annuar still cannot be trusted and he is still yet to prove he is worthy of those votes.
No doubt there have been a lot of changes taking place since the opposition took the 5 states ( according to my friends) but I am yet to see the ultimate change in the policies that will foster this nation’s building blocks of unity. In the last couple of months we have seen a dramatic increase in court cases. There are ample of examples just go and look in to Malaysian dailies.
Once in a while the ugliness creeps its head out and shows to the nation that it would take not 5 but another life time before we see real unity among races living in Malaysia.
The current government is still going ahead with its agenda despite public out cry. This shows that they don’t give rat’s a#$ about what you and I think. I still remember those old days where I could easily befriend and talk to any race in fact I HAD a number friends from the Major race but now, they have disappeared. Either they have become Ultra or just passive too scared to voice their grievance.
If the force behind the current government or anyone who wants to head this nation wants really to see the Unity among the racs, then they should start with fostering it in the Schools.
That is your cradle. But unfortunately nothing has been done to either to start working or shown any interest. There is a lot of talking about this though but am yet to see it materialize.
Take your time and visit the schools. Just stand there during the “Perhimpunan” and watch. You will understand what I mean. Good number of people in teaching profession also is not satisfied with the current system but what can they do? They are merely wage earners not decision makers. Every single step taken by the current government is showing that UNITY is not in their Agenda. They want to Divide and rule just like the British did 50 years ago. As long as the country is in chaos, someone is gaining from it.
Who is gaining? I leave it up to your imaginary.

Where is Malaysian Hindu Sangam Stand?
Sunday September 14, 2008
Let Teresa have her religious rights, say Christian leaders
PETALING JAYA: Christian leaders are appealing to the authorities to allow Selangor senior executive councillor Teresa Kok to practise her religious rights as a Catholic while in detention.
Bishop Dr Paul Tan Chee Ing said Kok should be allowed to pray with other Christians and attend Sunday mass as it was obligatory for all Catholics.
“She should also be allowed to see a priest to minister to her spiritual needs,” he said.
The Christian Federation of Malaysia chairman also hoped that Kok and the other Internal Security Act (ISA) detainee – Malaysia Today news portal editor Raja Petra Kamaruddin – be tried as soon as possible.
Council of Churches Malaysia general-secretary Reverend Dr Herman Shastri said messages had been sent to numerous churches to pray for those detained under ISA.
*****************************************************
At least there is some other religious entity coming out and speaking for Teresa Kok's spritual welfare. Where were Malaysia hindu Sangam when 5 of our hindraf leadears were arrested under ISA ( Draconian law). Malaysian Hindu Sangam supposedly to represent Hindu's and guide them in obeserving Hindu religious activities but so far what I have seen and heard is they are good only to sell Karpurum( Camphor) during Thaipusam ( a religious festival for hindus). This is what I learnt from people because based on their society registration that is what exactly they are athorized to do. So in what athourity they can advice hindus on the do's and don'ts.
Leaders in Malaysia Hindu Sangam....Dont you have principles? dont you have Bhakti hell dont you have balls???
I call upon new breed of hindus who know the religion very well to register a new association that truly represents and guides Hindus in malaysia and boldly speaks about oppresion done against Hindus.
Hell, better still, screw everyone and force the goverment to accept the registration of HINDRAF as the ultimate entity that governs the Hindus practice of hinduism in Malaysia.
Free the Hindraf 5.
