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.
