Well, looks like the dragnet is expanding. Now, all NGO’s who are “involved” in HINDRAF activities would face the law as well. That means Police Watch Malaysia I guess – the precursor to HINDRAF. If I’m not mistaken, HINDRAF itself is a coalition of 20 over NGOs. That means all those NGOs have to be banned as well. How about those who support HINDRAF’s purpose/activities – like Gerakan, MIC members, MHS, PAS, PKR, DAP, Bar Council, Suharam, GCC, HSS, etc.? Semua kena tangkap ka?

Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar today warned that any non-governmental organisation found to be involved in Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) activities would face the law.

He said this was because Hindraf was declared illegal by the government on Oct 15 for its militant activities, and that its actions contravened Section 5 (1) of the Societies Act 1996 and were a threat to public order, peace, civility and moral values.

“It doesn’t matter what name they use, action will be taken…it’s not an action against Indians or Hindus. This is action against groups that associate themselves with militancy and have extremist views,” he told reporters at the ministry’s Aidilfitri open house, here.
