" Later last night, during a 60 minute live interview over RTM1, Dr Khir clarified that the Kampung Rimba Jaya Hindu temple was demolished after the Deepavali festival. “There is a misunderstanding. A lot of people thought the temple was demolished before Deepavali. But, it was demolished on Nov 15,” he said adding that the temple was built on private land."
Read what Thanish says on the events that took place on 30th October 2007. 15 November comes after 30 October, doesn't it? An article in my blog quotes Selangor State Govt's official website that says the date of demolition is 30th October 2007. There's another statement here too. Samy Vellu also nearly cancelled Deepavali open house. Did he get the dates wrong as well?
Move forward, Dr Khir tells Kampung Rimba folk
| Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Khir Toyo greeting the residents of Kampung Rimba Jaya in Shah Alam yesterday. |
SHAH ALAM: Let’s put the Hindraf episode behind us and move forward to find a better life for all.
This was the message Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Khir Toyo had for the people, especially those in Kampung Rimba Jaya here, yesterday. Meeting the people here for the first time since the controversial demolition of a temple in the squatter settlement last month, the Selangor menteri besar said the people should not be taken in by the claims of the movement. He said the people of Rimba Jaya were now staying in council homes provided by the state in Shah Alam and they could continue to do so until their low-cost homes were built. The council homes are flats owned by the state in Section 26 and the tenants could stay there rent-free, he added.
“Do not worry. I will not let anyone sleep under the bridge. It’ll be a shame for me if that happens. The government will never neglect the Indians.”
On the demolished temple, Dr Khir said the developer had given RM40,000 to the temple committee to build a new one at the site given by the developer.
He said the people should not fret about having to move into low-cost homes, saying it was a first step towards better things. For those who were not eligible for bank loans, he said there were other avenues such as the Housing and Local Government Ministry, state Islamic Religious Council and other state agencies.
Speaking on the impact of the recent illegal rallies in the city, Dr Khir said two Taiwanese investors had put on hold their plans to come to Selangor.
Later last night, during a 60 minute live interview over RTM1, Dr Khir clarified that the Kampung Rimba Jaya Hindu temple was demolished after the Deepavali festival. “There is a misunderstanding. A lot of people thought the temple was demolished before Deepavali. But, it was demolished on Nov 15,” he said adding that the temple was built on private land. He said the temple committee had agreed with the relocation and added that: “The temple issue had been settled.” “The problem is Hindraf followers instigated others to take the law into their own hands and did not allow the priest to go into the temple.”
He said the squatters in the area would also be moving to their new homes by end of this year or beginning of next year. They will move to low-cost units with proper kindergartens, Hindu temple, surau, community hall and other facilities, he added. “So there is no issue of the temple or not helping the community. The state government helps all races,” he said. He also said the politics of hate should be rejected by all.
What is the diff. of before and after. Did the Indians said that demolish after Deepavali is better or pls. demolish their temple after THEIR FESTIVAL???
They are asking Goverment to not demolish any more temples but this menteri is doing the comparision…which is the better and so on.After more than 20 days only he manage to know what is the actual story /happened in Kampung Rimba Jaya, his own state.
If the HINDRAF did not highligted this then may be he will forget that Kampung Rimba Jaya is in his state.May be he is very busy??? Thanks to HINDRAF for remind him …b’cos of your reminder at least he take some inniative to find out when is was happened and realised that he need to help this INDIANS people with
not full but at least one quarter from his heart.
The only truth that I have learnt of late is that telling a lie is an art all our elected reps. doing without even blinkin their eyelids.
From the PM, DPM and our ministers lie through their teeth..
if i ever tell a lie in front of my wife or children or office mates, I’ll never be able to look at them in the face again.
May my time was different from these people. My father didn’t teach me to pray not to believe in God but he taught me to be a human being.
May God bless the MB
The MB must either think his so smart or we the rakyat is so dumb.
Bravo jedi master of all bulshit..!!!!
Maybe those same kind of his can beliefe this crab stories.Not we Indians.Better luck next time.
