Hello all,Let me tell you all the exact issue. This temple was headed by demised former Exco of Selangor state. It is being said a court order released on 2005. The order was then was brought to authorities by the Exco and decided not to touch the temple until a land is given to temple. The developer has allocated a portion for the temple but the land is not ready yet. How and where to move without a land is shown and given? The housing area behind the temple is being cleared out and the houses are being relocated. We are aware that the houses being demolished but NOT the temple. To be safe, selangor state and exco authorities was met and with the developers consent it was decided and ensured the temple will not be touched. All of a sudden on early morning on 30th October 2007 the so called authorities (MBSA) came into the temple with hammers and axes with their shoes ON without a respect to the prayers going on at the temple. (went into the inside deities’ place (karuvarai)). They was forcefully stopped and notice was asked to be shown, court order to be shown . But they can’t produce any. Only being told that it was decided to demolish the temple late night on 29th Oct. They very reluctant to hear any of the temple committees words. Finally after a long long talk, they decided to give the time until 2pm to remove the deities. They immediately went to demolish the kindergarten which belongs to the temple ( Class was going on at that time, the childs were rushed out from kindergarten ). The kindergarten was demolished with all valuable belongings of the temple and kindergarten. At 2pm sharp the so called BATTALION of MBSA, RELA, FRU, POLICE ( the situation was like a war zone ). Our Indian crowds gathered in front of the battalion. Hindraf and their lawyers, independent lawyers, some MIC reps tried to talk to them. Nothing could stop them. MBSA informed NO ONE could stop this as this is direct order from selangor MB. At 4 pm, they moved into the temple. This where when the free for all started. Exchange of stone throwing between the public and the force (peaceful priests and public was inside the temple) ended up in tensed situation. The scene was like racial tension. At the end, the force overpowered with the tear gasses, water jets, batons and with guns. Datuk Seri came to the scene too late at abu 5 pm after part of the temple already demolished. He informed nothing was be able to be done. The situation became even tensed then. Datuk Seri was rushed off then. Now, this has become a National issue and its not known what is going to happen? This is our fate of Indians even though a lot of NGO’s and the public protesting against Indian community discrimination. The date 30th Oct 2007 has changed entirely the life’s of some of the Hindus in the area. Some innocent members of the public and a temple committee was arrested. If this is happening tO Padang Jawa Indians, its not very far away to other places as well. There’s no say for our leaders. No respect for our believes, our faith, our rights !!!!

Welcome to blogging, Thanish! We are glad that from your blog we can get to hear the truth from the horse’s mouth, rather than depending on the mainstream media.

The Hindu gods would punish the sinful MBSA, MB of Selangor and other sinful parties for demolishing the temple. Punishment in hell awaits them. It is far worse then they can imagine. Sinners… they will be burnt in hell forever…

Whatever the reasons for demolishing the temple,the action is still and always wrong.Although I’m not an Indian,but as a Malaysian,I’m truly sympathetic towards those who go to the temple for prayers.The action is RUDE and disrespects God and Indian community.
Politicians are supposed to be more ‘Rakyat’ oriented,not bias towards one race only.
