HINDRAF fax memorandum to Gordon Brown - Please verifiy and take appropriate action

I urged to all Malaysian to check on the authenticity of this memorandum that has been fax to the British High Comission in Kuala Lumpur on the 25th November 2007, and if its true then HINDRAF and all the people behind it has commited the highest level of treason against our beloved country, Malaysia. To sum up the entire content, HINDRAF is actually asking external forces to come here and interfere with our national interest and domestic affairs.

If this memorandum was truthfully composed by them, among the exaggeration on the statement would be

We fear that this peace loving Indian community of Tamil origin having been pushed to the corner and the persecution getting worse by the day may be forced to into terrorism in a matter of time as what has happened to the Sri Lankan Tamils.

But in reality most top lawyers and doctors in Malaysia are Indians and many Indians have succeeded in other fields. Ananda Krishnan (worth $4.6 billion in Forbes' list of Malaysian billionaires) is the second richest tycoon in Malaysia. He owns Malaysian pay TV operator Astro All Asia Networks and telecom major Maxis, among other businesses.

Tony Fernandes, CEO of Air Asia, is one of Malaysia's most successful entrepreneurs. Born in Kuala Lumpur of Indian descent, Fernandes revolutionized budget air travel in Asia and has earned the nickname of the "Asian Branson."

In politics, Dr Samy Vellu, a Malaysian politician of Indian descent, champions the cause of Indians in Malaysia and is chairman of Malayan Indian Congress. Karpal Singh is a well-known human rights activist, lawyer and opposition member of parliament. V David, who died in 2005, was a popular politician and a leading trade unionist. The Indian community produced many leaders who led the cause of Indians, such as John A Thivy, Budh Singh, K Ramanathan, K L Devaser and V T Sambanthan.

At this moment, i could only pray that we could live peacefully alongside our multi cultural brother and sister. Sensitivity and toleration is the key to live in the multicultural society but definately HINDRAF was not one them if this memorandum was proven to be structured by them.

Dear Sirs,

RE: 1. COMMONWEALTH ETHNIC INDIAN PEACE LOVING SUBJECTS IN MALAYSIA PERSECUTED BY GOVERNMENT BACKED ISLAMIC EXTREMIST VIOLENT ARMED TERRORIST WHO LAUNCHED A PRE DAWN VIOLENT ARMED ATTACK AND DESTROYED THE KG JAWA MARIAMAN HINDU TEMPLE AT 4.00 A.M THIS MORNING (15.11.2007).

2. APPEAL FOR U.K TO MOVE EMERGENCY U.N RESOLUTION CONDEMNING “ETHNIC CLEANSING” IN MALAYSIA.

3. APPEAL TO REFER MALAYSIA TO THE WORLD COURT AND INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT FOR CRIMES AGAINST IT’S OWN ETHNIC MINORITY INDIANS.

We refer to the above critical matters in Malaysia but which generally gets the least attention locally even by the Opposition parties, NGO’s, the Malaysian Human Rights Commission and the media for this community is generally regarded as politically insignificant, do not draw local or international funding and are deemed not pressworthy. To the contrary the Malaysian government has successfully projected itself to the world as a modern Islamic thinking country which is not true.

The ethnic minority Indians in Malaysia were brought in to Malaysia by the British some 200 over years ago. Since independence in 1957 the Malaysian Indians have been permanently colonialised by the Islamic fundamentalist and Malay chauvinists UMNO led Malaysian government.

Among the recent atrocities committed by this government are as follows:-

1.100 over Indians were slashed and killed by the UMNO controlled Malaysian government in the Kampung Medan mini genocide. Despite numerous appeals, the Malaysian Human Rights Commission has refused to hold a Public Inquiry. The UMNO controlled Malaysian courts struck off a victim’s public interest civil suit for a Public Inquiry to be held without even the said UMNO controlled government having to file in their defence. The UMNO controlled Attorney General and the Inspector General of Police refused to investigate and / or initiate an inquest into the death of at least six Indians in this tragedy despite.

2. Every week one person at average is killed in a shot to kill policy and in every 2 weeks one person is killed in police custody. About 60% of these victims are Indians though they form only 8% of the Malaysian population.

3. In every three weeks one Hindu temple is demolished in Malaysia.
The latest being the demolishment of the Mariaman temple in Padang Jawa, Shah Alam, Selangor early this morning (15.11.2007) and the next being the (Mutaiya) Hindu temple in Sungai Petani scheduled for the 29.11.2007.

A violent armed pre down attack at 4.00a.m this morning was launched by the UMNO controlled Malaysian government backed by about 600 police, riot police, Islamic extremist and armed terrorists which completely destroyed this temple.

In an attack two weeks ago, uniformed police, riot police and city Council officers hurled rocks and attacked unarmed Hindu devotees with knives, sticks and iron rods.

At least 20 Hindu devotees were seriously injured and 19 arrested including 4 of their United Kingdom trained lawyers in direct violation of Article 5 (Right to life) Article 8 (Equality) Article 11 (Freedom of Religion) Section 295 (defiling a place of worship), Section 296 (disturbing a religious assembly), 298A(causing racial disharmony) and Section 441(criminal trespass) of the Malaysian Penal Code.

These authorities are plagued by an above the law mindset and in fact liberally take the law into their own hands. These atrocities however does not happen to almost all Islamic places of worship. Please visit www.policewatchmalaysia.com for further and better particulars.

4. State sponsored direct discrimination against the Indians in Public University intakes, Indian (Tamil) Schools, skills training institutes, civil service and private sector job opportunities, business and license opportunities and in almost all other aspects of daily life.

Despite our hundreds of letters, appeals and pleas to the Malaysian King and Sultans, the Prime Minister, Attorney General, Inspector General of Police, Ministers, Chief Ministers and the latest being our letters to the Prime Minister dated 29.10.2007 and 30.10.2007 and to the Attorney General dated 1.11.2007 the Malaysian authorities are only proceeding with greater ferocity and with impunity with very little regard for the Federal Constitution and laws of Malaysia. So please help us.

CONCLUSION

We fear that this peace loving Indian community of Tamil origin having been pushed to the corner and the persecution getting worse by the day may be forced to into terrorism in a matter of time as what has happened to the Sri Lankan Tamils.

APPEAL

On our part we are committed to a peaceful and lawful struggle and pray and appeal that the Government of the United Kingdom:-

1. Moves an emergency United Nations resolution condemning these state sponsored atrocities and persecutions of Malaysian Indians in Malaysia.

2. Refers Malaysia to the World Court and the International Criminal Court for Crimes against it’s own ethnic minority Indians

Thank You,
Yours Faithfully

Hindraf merupakan sebuah pertubuhan haram penganut agama Hindu bercorak militan. Tindakan mereka berdemontrasi adalah untuk mengundang campur tangan Britain ke dalam hal ehwal Malaysia dan ini merupakan satu tindakan mengkhianati kemerdekaan negara.

Aktiviti utama mereka ialah mewujudkan kuil-kuil Hindu secara haram dan kemudiannya mempertahankannya secara kekerasan bagi mencari simpati dunia barat.

Menurut satu sumber, kumpulan ini cukup agresif di Pulau Pinang, Selangor, Kuala Lumpur dan Melaka kononnya menghalang perobohan kuil-kuil haram

Demontrasi ni dibuat kerana merasakan seolah-olah sudah kebal dari tindakan undang-undang dan boleh berlindung disebalik media antarabangsa.

Sebenarnya, sudah sampai masanya kerajaan menunjukkan bahawa undang-undang tidak mengenal yang kuat atau lemah.

Hindraf hanya mengambil kesempatan untuk turut sama menonjolkan pertubuhan haram mereka dengan membuat demontrasi hara mseperti ini. Penubuhan yang sebegini lebih bercorak militan seperti yang ditulis oleh anisahmaisarah di atas.

Kerajaan kita sudah cukup kuat untuk menghapuskan pertubuhan haram seperti ini. Apa dengan membuat demontrasi mereka yang menganjurkannya dan yang melibatkan diri merasakan mereka telah cukup kebal? Kita tunggu dan lihat apakah tindakan yang akan dibuat oleh kerajaan terhadap pertubuhan haram ini.

Datang dari india dan diberi kerakyatan di Malaysia tetapi mereka mudah lupa tentang ini. Jika ditarik kerakyatan semua ahli Hindraf ini dan dihantar kembali ke India apa mereka akan lebih senang? Lihat sahaja bagimana daifnya kehidupan masyarakat jati di Negara India yang tidak berumah dan merempat di kaki lima sahaja hinggakan ada yang mati disebabkan merempat tidur di atas jalan raya.

Jika mereka tak kembali bersyukur atas segala kebaikan yang diberi kerajaan Malaysia adalah lebih baik mereka kembali ke negara asal mereka kerana kita sebagai rakyat Malaysia lebih cintakan keamanan dari pada kehancuran.

Komen:

Dengan perenggan di atas, senang untuk kita tafsirkan bahawa kuil-kuil ini dibina secara haram tanpa ada sebarang dokumen yang menyokong pembangunan kuil tersebut. Kerajaan Malaysia tidak rakus untuk mehancurkan talian kaum yang terjalin sejak begitu lama apatah lagi untuk merosakkan rumah-rumah ibadat rakyatnya. Setiap rakyat saling menghormati antara satu sama lain, tetapi dalam hal di atas terang-terang kuil tersebut didirikan secara haram samada atas tanah rizab milik kerajaan.

Kita sama sekali tidak bersetuju jika hal-hal pembinaan haram ini dijadikan isu hangat untuk kepentingan mereka sendiri kerana ini semua berpunca dari kesilapan diri mereka sendiri yang tidak mengambil peduli undang-undang kerajaan.
