Subject: Re: shah alam temple demolished and media blackout
Dear Sirs,
MIC people did came but it was too late, we have waited for them since morning. We are tired of calling politician to help us since morning. Why when election time they are punctual in visiting us to have our votes.
Can you imagine our children studying in the kindergarten and MBSA started to bring in machines to demolish the kindergarten which is apart of the temple. Can you feel our pain when you see our children and women praying in the temple, chanting and singing theyvaram from morning till evening, so that someone helps us to rescue our temple from being demolish.
The temple is apart of Padang Jawa peoples life. The temple has helped us; provides shelter, food, education guidance, career guidance, motivation for us to improve ourselves, even sponsoring youngster’s motivation club, teaching us theyvaram, Indian cultural, and so many activities that has benefited us. In return we are helpless to save our temple. Can you feel how disappointed we are?
The temple was not given any notice to vacant, only the surrounding areas were given notice to move out. In fact we were told that politician is in the negotiating to avoid the temple from being demolished until the temple is given another place. That’s the reason we were against MBSA.
We are grateful to people that came over from Klang, Kg Jawa, Sri Muda and Shah Alam that had helped and protected us from MBSA and police.
As for uncle Sam and other politicians this is a good lesson for them. Please do something to improve the situation the soonest.
Our worries are on those who have been arrested, including the lawyers. Please help us to rescue them, some of them are innocent that tried to helped to transfer the temples belongings and had helped rescuing women and children.
