Hindraf slams Jais over Hindu wedding raid

Hindraf slams Jais over Hindu wedding raid

Source: Malaysiakini News (2 June 2014)



Persatuan Hindraf Malaysia (PHM) has called on parliamentarians to amend the laws to stop "overzealous" officials from the Selangor Islamic Affairs Department (Jais) from overstepping their boundaries.

PHM chief P Waythamoorthy today condemned Jais for stopping a wedding at a Hindu temple on Sunday because it suspected that the bride was a Muslim.

Jais sources were reported by Sinar Harian as saying that it used a 1988 law, to prevent Muslims converting out of the faith, to justify its actions for taking the bride away from the wedding in Petaling Jaya.

Waythamoorthy disagreed and was outraged that Jais can do this.

"The raid was unlawful, unconstitutional and encourages unnecessary disturbance to the peace enjoyed between the communities.

"This action by Jais clearly shows disrespect tfor the sensitivities of non-Muslims and their places of worship. Their act is a clear crossing of the boundary of their jurisdiction," he said in a press statement.

Waythamoorthy said Jais' action violated Article 11 of the Federal Constitution, which enshrines the rights of Malaysians to practise freedom of religion.

"Jais or any Muslim authority should not take the religious sensitivities of other faiths for granted.

"As much as Muslims are sensitive to their religion, others have the same feelings too," added the former deputy minister in the Prime Minister's Department.

Waythamoorthy said Jais was fortunate that its actions did not invite rash actions and untoward happenings in the temple on Sunday, noting that the bride was an adult who had grown up a Hindu, who was still working out the mistake of being registered as a Muslim by her neglectful father.

"We have a serious problem in this country. The civil service is dominated by Malay and Muslim-centric officers who bulldoze their personal belief in the supremacy of their religion in the government administration," he added.

On Jan 2, Jais also drew controversy when it raided the office of the Bible Society of Malaysia (BSM) and seized 321 copies of Malay and Iban-language bibles for its investigation.

Two BSM workers were temporarily hauled up for questioning and the case remains unresolved.


The following is the full text of Hindraf's Statement:

Hindraf condemns the action of Selangor Islamic Affairs Department (Jais) yesterday in raiding and interrupting a wedding that was about to take place in a Hindu temple.

The raid was unlawful, unconstitutional and encourages unnecessary disturbance to the peace enjoyed between the communities. This action by JAIS clearly shows disrespect to the sensitivities of Non-Muslims and their places of worship. Their act is a clear crossing the boundary of their jurisdictions.

It was reported by Sinar harian and Malaysiakini that JAIS acted under a 1988 enactment (control and propagation amongst Muslims) which makes it an offense to persuade, influence or incite any Muslim to change their faith.

This act does not confer any kind of rights on the JAIS to raid the temple and stop a Hindu wedding from taking place. The act in itself is clear.

The wedding was taking place with the consent and knowledge of the difficult situation the bride was in ie that she had been converted when she was a child by her father without her knowledge and she had been practicing the Hindu faith since birth.

Further the bride had entered into the marriage on her own will without any coercion or incitement, therefore how is it possible that this enactment is applicable in this matter.

The overzealous attitude taken by the JAIS officers depicts such a free hand they have into interfering into the personal life of a Non-Muslim individual with impunity from the law.

The absolute arbitrary power of these JAIS officers to interfere into the Non-Muslim affairs needs to be stopped immediately when they clearly infringe Article 11 of the supreme law of this country as seen in this matter.

JAIS or any Muslim authorities should not take the religious sensitivities of other faiths for granted. As much as Muslims are sensitive to their religion, others have the same feelings too.

In this case it was fortunate nothing untoward happened in the temple and those present did not react to the unlawful and unconstitutional raid carried by Jais in the Hindu temple.

The controversy of religious status amongst many who claim that they have been converted without their knowledge and the reluctance by the National registration to act according to civil laws in giving the victims of those circumstances a remedy to correct the wrongs not caused by their fault is the main reason for the continuance of such controversies.

We have a serious problem in this country. The civil service is dominated by Malay and Muslim centric officers who bulldoze their personal belief in the supremacy of their religion in the Government administration.
Their behavior is nothing short of bullying assisted by the government organs and machinery in oppressing the Non-Muslim community and their beliefs.

Hindraf calls upon parliamentarians from both divide to move an act in Parliament (which is long due) to correct and amend the legal hurdles that has been in place in protecting the Religious freedom of individuals.

Thank you.

新冠病毒疫情下的马来西亚
舔美精神患者的状态

年轻一辈人民之友有感而作


注:这“漫画新解”是反映一名自诩“智慧高人一等”而且“精于民主理论”的老姐又再突发奇想地运用她所学会的一丁点“颜色革命”理论和伎俩来征服人民之友队伍里的学弟学妹们的心理状态——她在10多年前曾在队伍里因时时表现自己是超群精英,事事都要别人服从她的意愿而人人“惊而远之”,她因此而被挤出队伍近10年之久。

她在三年前被一名年长工委推介,重新加入人民之友队伍。可是,就在今年年初她又再故态复萌,尤其是在3月以来,不断利用部落格的贴文,任意扭曲而胡说八道。起初,还以“不同意见者”的姿态出现,以博取一些不明就里的队友对她的同情和支持,后来,她发现了她的欺骗伎俩无法得逞之后,索性撤下了假面具,对人民之友一贯的“反对霸权主义、反对种族主义”的政治立场,发出歇斯底里的叫嚣,而暴露她设想人民之友“改旗易帜”的真面目!

尤其是在新冠病毒疫情(COVID-19)课题上,她公然猖狂跟人民之友的政治立场对着干,指责人民之友服务于中国文宣或大中华,是 “中国海外统治部”、“中华小红卫兵”等等等等。她甚至通过强硬粗暴手段擅自把我们的WhatsApp群组名称“Sahabat Rakyat Malaysia”改为“吐槽美国样衰俱乐部”这样的无耻行动也做得出来。她的这种种露骨的表现足以说明了她是一名赤裸裸的“反中仇华”份子。

其实,在我们年轻队友看来,这名嘲讽我们“浪费了20年青春”[人民之友成立至今近20年(2001-9-9迄今)]并想要“拯救我们年轻工委”的这位“徐大姐”,她的思想依然停留在20年前的上个世纪。她初始或许是不自觉接受了“西方民主”和“颜色革命”思想的培养,而如今却是自觉地为维护美国的全球霸权统治而与反对美国霸权支配全球的中国人民和全世界各国(包括马来西亚)人民为敌。她是那么狂妄自大,却是多么幼稚可笑啊!

她所说的“你们浪费了20年青春”正好送回给她和她的跟班,让他们把她的这句话吞到自己的肚子里去!

注:这“漫画新解”是与《察网》4月22日刊林爱玥专栏文章<公知与鲁迅之间 隔着整整一个中国 >这篇文章有关联的,这是由于这篇文章所述说的中国公知,很明显是跟这组漫画所描绘的马来西亚的“舔美”狗狗,有着孪生兄弟姐妹的亲密关系。

欲知其中详情,敬请点击、阅读上述文章内容,再理解、品味以下漫画的含义。这篇文章和漫画贴出后,引起激烈反响,有人竟然对号入座,暴跳如雷且发出恐吓,众多读者纷纷叫好且鼓励加油。编辑部特此接受一名网友建议:在显著的布告栏内贴出,方便网友搜索、浏览,以扩大宣传教育效果。谢谢关注!谢谢鼓励!
