THE demolition of the 130-year-old Sri Maha Mariamman temple in Jenjarom, Selangor, has been aborted after the temple committee, the developer and the Kuala Langat police came to an agreement, reported Malaysia Nanban.
Temple president M. Sinnayah was quoted as saying that the Banting police had instructed developer KLIA Holdings to postpone the demolition after resolving the issue of relocation.
Furthermore, demolishing a temple during the Deepavali season may cause resentment among the Indian community, he said.

There is much more to this story than this. I have read that Xavier is trying to pin the blame on BN saying that since KLIA Holdings is under Fed Govt.
From my sources, this is actually not a demolition at all but a relocation and an alternative place was already identified. However, Xavier and PR decided to make it into an issue as the Bagan Pinang by-election is around the corner.
Will see if I can get the link for the story.
