century-old hindu temple destroyed!
… no, not by fire or landslide.. or any natural disaster, but by officers from KL’s city hall (DBKL). bulldozed and demolished by them!!
the worst part of it was that the temple was demolished when about 300 devotees were inside performing prayers. how insensitive DBKL officers can be!
gosh! i am shocked! how could this happened? oh, of course it could… this is bolehland… and it is a hindu temple, not a mosque.
pak lah, what happened? what happened to the constitution on freedom of worship/religion?
the temple’s vice president, subramaniam ragappan, had made a police report, which was filled with livid details of what happened, so do go and read it… oh and do spread the word around about this news.
if you subsribe to malaysiakini, you can read the news here.

It’s disappointing to see this, a country that never appreciate history, culture and religion is never going to be a developed country.
Nothing can replace a historic heritage, not for any price.
Ermm did our mainstream news agency mention anything about it?
lucia: not that i know of. no, did not read about it elsewhere on the online news agency too. that’s why i hope bloggers (or those on the net) can spread this news.Â

Yet another crass example of fine (constantly boasted)”tolerance”, when presumably when ppl aren’t not watching and the MSM would rather play dumb in abject complicity.
lucia: yep, see how ‘tolerant’ they are.Â

Image(appearance) matters, never substance. The tree is known by its fruit. A one way street Narcissism cannot maintain its fascade.

A 300-man demolition squad comprising personnel from the police, General Operations Force, fire and rescue department, water board, Tenaga Nasional, Jasin district council and Public Works Department officials took five hours to pull down the temple and levelled the 20m-long statue located inside an orchard…..
