Continue demolishing temples and lose trust of Indians, warns deputy minister Waytha

November 28, 2013

Putrajaya has been warned by a deputy minister that it would lose the trust of the Indian community if it failed to keep its election pledge not to demolish Hindu temples without first consulting the Hindu Rights Action Force, or Hindraf.

P. Waytha Moorthy, the Hindraf chief who was appointed deputy minister in the Prime Minister’s Department following an agreement between his group and Barisan Nasional, urged Federal Territories Minister Tengku Adnan Mansor to seriously consider the impact on the Indian community.

Waytha referred to a recent statement by the Kuala Lumpur City Hall reasserting its intention to continue demolishing or relocating illegal temples.

The Federal Territories Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor said there are many more temples in Kuala Lumpur which were squatting on land illegally.

He said the Ministry was checking the statuses of these temples and will act against them.

“Yes, I am checking and I am firm… I will tell them to move. I will give them a new place and I will gazette the new place as a temple,” he said commenting on a claim by a non-governmental organisation, which had called itself Jakun Malaysia, that 23 Hindu temples were due to be demolished by the Kuala Lumpur City Council (DBKL).

Tengku Adnan said the ministry was not only going after Hindu temples occupying sites illegally but also surau purportedly spreading deviant teachings.

“Not only temples but there are also some surau which I am going to tear down,” he said.
