In the name of development.....
SAD !!! Another Hindu temple has been demolished ! To whoever it may concerned, show some self respect to your own religion, please stop destroying other people's places of worships.
On Tuesday, November 1st 2007, the Sri Maha Mariamman Temple located in Kampung Karuppiah, Padang Jawa, Shah Alam, was demolished by the local town council. I understand that Hinduism is a minority religion in Malaysians. But, there is a need to respect the rights of others to practise other religions. It is clearly an insensitive and uncultured act by the local town council to destroy the Hindu temple without consulting the local residents. During the demolition, many resident protested the action of the local town council, several people were injured and arrested.
When we said we respect freedom of religion, are we unashamedly showcasing our talent in forked tongues immoralities and indecencies ? To what extend are we willing to defend the rights of other Malaysians to practise their religions in Malaysia ? It made me puke to see some Malaysians going around the world wanting to be perceived as champions of international human rights, but are incapable to respect human rights in their own country. I think I am getting a bit fed up of all these crying babies going the world demanding sensitivity to their religion, but on the other hand, they themselves demonstrate blatant disrespect and insensitivity to other religions. Perhaps, pariahisms is the ingrained religious values for some oxymorons.
Destroying a temple under any circumstances or reasons is by itself an immoral act. Sad to note that a sacred place for worship has been destroyed without due consideration to the spiritual needs of local residents. My frank opinion is, people who show no respect for places of worships are basically uncultured barbarians.
I joined millions of Hindu brothers and sisters to pray to the good angels that enough donations will pour in and an alternative site allocated to built a NEW, BIGGER, and MORE IMPRESSIVE Sri Maha Mariamman Temple. I am not a Hindu, but I do love the see the unique architecture of Hindu temples. Hindu temples are the most beautiful and cultured places in the world. I do sincerely hope the Malaysia Indian Congress can initiate more political and social actions to built more Hindu temples in Malaysia.
May the almighty forgive those who destroys places of worship. Om Mani Pedm Hum......
