Guest guest Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Hindus Of the World Mr K. Ramasundram was a true Hindu, It is very sad for Hindus all over the world But Mr. Moorthy your following "Press Statement" is not appropriate, you wrote only two small lines for his death why?????????? Mr. Ramasundram has given his life for Hindu cause, kindly change this statement ASAP. Emphasize more on this death and his scarifies thanks. Devan Packiry ( SEE PRESS RELEASE STATEMENT.) -------- HINDU RIGHTS ACTION FORCE 135-3-A JALAN TOMAN 7 KEMAYAN SQUARE SEREMBAN NEGERI SEMBILAN MALAYSIA. PRESS STATEMENT Today is indeed a sad day for the entire Malaysian population irrespective of race or religion who believed in the SANCTITY AND SUPREMACY of the FEDERAL CONSTITUTION. A TRUE HINDU Mr K. Ramasundram, Chairman of the Mariamman Temple Seksyen 19 Shah Alam Selangor Malaysia gave his life about an hour ago (6 pm Malaysian Time) to the Draconian Malaysian Government which had been ruthlessly and barbarically destroying pre Independence and ancient Hindu Temples throughout the country on the false premises that is painted to the world on the status of these legitimate temples which had existed since the British Colonial era and by virtue of Article 11 of the Federal Constitution. The late Mr K. Ramasundram led a 30 member delegation to meet the Selangor State Government officials on a scheduled official meeting after having consulted and advised by our Legal Adviser Mr.P.Uthayakumar on 3rd November 2006.(Reported by Makkal Osai Daily 4th November 2006 Pg 3) The Selangor State Government promised the delegation that top ranking officers including the Petaling District Officer would be present to resolve the issue of demolishing particularly the 6 Hindu Temples situated in and around Shah Alam in the State of Selangor ranging from about 60 - 109 year old Temples. At the said scheduled meeting at 3.00pm today the delegation were "cheated" into a meeting that was presided by a low ranking Pro Government HINDU OFFICER. WHY? This is a typical strategy by the Malaysian Government to let the Hindus "fight it out among themselves" whilst the Government could claim that the "negotiations" were presided by HINDU officers so it must have been a "fair decision" but the Temple Committee refused to accept the Government's "alternative" plans ie to demolish the 6 Hindu temples situated in residential areas in the midst of the respective Hindu Community and relocate all 6 to a small piece of lowest grade land (next to highway, filthy river, high tension wire, Railway line and in the midst of an industrial area). At the meeting today Mr K. Ramasundram vociferously advocated the rights of these 6 and all Hindu Temples in Malaysia to exist by virtue of its pre independent existence and also by virtue of Article 11 of the Federal Constitution. He questioned the moral and legal rights of the Malaysian Government to aggressively pursue this silent agenda of cleansing of Hindu Temples and the erasure of Malaysian Hindu migration landmarks from the face of this beloved land. He rightly pointed out as to the mushrooming of mosques throughout the country with taxpayers funds but this never was a problem for the Hindus but why is the agenda to demolish existing temples nationwide (Contrary to Article 8 of the Federal Constitution- Equality before the Law). Despite this cogent argument by Mr. K. Ramasundram the Selangor State Government officials repeated the Selangor Chief Minister Dato Seri Khir Toyo's statement to the press 3 days ago that (in effect almost 95% of the estimated 5000 Hindu Temples in Selangor) would be demolished. This was the last straw that broke the Camel's back. Mr K. Ramasundram's emotional parting words were that " I will fight till the end" and he surely kept to his words for as he walked out of the meeting hall to be interviewed by the waiting reporters he just collapsed as a result of suffering a heart attack. Witnesses (other temple Chairmen and representatives) who immediately contacted us confirmed that he made an emotional plea to the State officials (albeit low ranking officers) to stop this demolishment,desceration and humiliation of Hindu Temples and dieties. As he collapsed a witness heard him murmur "GOD SAVE THIS COUNTRY.........??? ! HINDRAF once again reiterates its earlier call to the Government to stop these atrocities and humiliation of Hindus in Malaysia. The Government has built thousands of mosques/allocated land throughout the country in particular over the last 15 years with taxpayers funds but we the loyal Malaysian Hindus and other non muslims never questioned this as we truly respect the Federal Constitution and provisions of Article 11(Freedom of Religion). As the number one citizen of the country we challenge the Hon Prime Minister to reaffirm his oath of office in protecting the Sanctity and Supremacy of the Federal Constitution before the Yang Dipertuan Agong (King) afresh (immediately) as his inactions/silence/deliberate refusal to make a stand on the issue of Hindu Temple demolishments have left his hands "bloodied with the life of Mr K.Ramasundram.
