Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Mohd Nazri Abdul Aziz has warned Tamil Nadu M Karunanidhi not to interfere in Malaysian politics. At a press conference in the Parliament lobby, Nazri (left) said Karunanidhi (right) should "look at his own backyard" before interfering in Malaysia’s affairs. "His own state is out of control. (What happens in Malaysia) has nothing to do with him. This is not his country. This is Malaysia," said Nazri. Karunanidhi has reportedly written to Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh seeking immediate action for the "sufferings and bad treatment" of Tamils in Malaysia, based on grievances linked to last Sunday’s street protest.
"I would like to reiterate the prime minister’s and deputy prime minister's statement that we would not accept challenges from Hindraf," he said. "In France, the authorities use rubber bullets to control the crowd, we only use water cannon and tear gas, and still they (Hindraf) said that we (the police) have used excessive force.” Check on claims Nazri further said the government would not hesitate to charge Hindraf legal adviser P Uthayakumar under the Sedition Act if it is true that he had made certain claims in a memorandum to be presented to British Prime Minister Gordon Brown. The memorandum that the Umno led government had killed some hundred Indians in the Kampung Medan "mini genocide" (in May 2001) and that the Indian Malaysians fear they would be forced into terrorism in a matter of time, as has happened among Sri Lankan Tamils. Nazri was of the view that words like "genocide" could incite the Indian community to hate the Malays and vice versa. ) has to be responsible for his actions. We will discuss this with the attorney-general and consider charging him under the Sedition Act," he said. Asked when the government would act on its threat to use the Internal Security Act against demonstrators, Nazri said: "For the time being, we will use existing laws. We will use the police and open court as long as we can control the situation." Asked for an update on the royal commission of inquiry into the Lingam tape , Nazri said the cabinet meeting today, which was chaired by Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, discussed only the terms of reference. He said the cabinet did not discuss the composition of the commission and that Abdullah would select its members and announce all the details. |
Nazri also took the opportunity to warn the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf), the coalition behind the rally, against challenging the government. 
“The minister says he will not support the tens of thousands who took to the streets in protest but rather the millions who chose not to participate”
Hey stupid Nazri…. please don’t use the same tactics all the time…. have some brains…. everyone that was there been representing the 2 million Indians in Malaysia. These you will never understand…. I hope this coming general election, in your constituency you don’t have Indian votes….. Because if you do…. you can say good bye to politics……
