KUALA LUMPUR: The Selangor government has allocated a 10,000 sq ft piece of land in Shah Alam for the rebuilding of the temple it ordered demolished in Kampung Karuppiah. <\/p>\n\n<\/table>\n

MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu yesterday said the state government will also assist in its construction.<\/p>\n

He said the demolition of the temple in Kampung Karuppiah, Padang Jawa, which started on Tuesday night, had been put on hold under orders from the prime minister.<\/p>\n

This followed a meeting between Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo. <\/p>\n

It was agreed that the temple would be given two days to remove statues of deities and other religious artifacts. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Bar Council is asking why four lawyers representing the temple congregation on the demolition issue had been arrested.<\/p>\n

A statement said lawyers P. Uthayakumar, M. Manoharan, P. Waythamoorthy and Ganapati Rao were arrested in the course of carrying out their legal professional duties.<\/p>\n

The lawyers had turned up at the Section 11, Shah Alam police station to represent their clients who were earlier arrested for hindering the demolition work and were reported to have been denied access to their clients.<\/p>\n

Upon complaining to the police, they were arrested. <\/p>\n

Bar Council vice president Ragunath Kesavan said: "The recently amended section 28A of the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC) allows a detained person the right to communicate with a legal practitioner of his choice upon arrest.<\/p>\n

"We are concerned that these arrested persons, including the four lawyers, were denied this right, which is a flagrant breach of the CPC."<\/p>\n

The lawyers have since been released on bail. <\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
