HINDRAF : Najib cheated the indian community

Najib cheated the indian community when he did not fulfill his promises made in public to help find a permanent and comprehensive solution to the long standing problems faced by the displaced estate community totalling 800,000 people as well as the 300,000 stateless Indians. He agreed to implement HINDRAF blueprint with a special UNIT to make sure economic programs are conducted for the poor Indians. But he cheated, short changed and ignored the dire plight of our people. 

Now he is planning and plotting with the immoral leaders in MIC and their proxy NGO's to create another blueprint to cheat the Indians again. 

We must object to this immoral grand plan to cheat the Indians with a new blueprint. 

Janji Najib Janji Capati. He is good at cheating indians. Reject Najib. Reject BN UMNO and MIC. 

NOT A SINGLE VOTE FOR BN.

Why is there a sudden rise in islamization of a secular Malaysia.

FMT today reported as follows:

Lawyer: Bill to end unilateral child conversion void, against Islam

“Haniff Khatri Abdulla says any civil law opposed to Islamic law is null and void as Islam is the supreme religion of the country.

Haniff Khatri Abdulla, who is also the legal aide to former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad, said Islamic scriptures stated that when a parent converted to Islam, his or her child would automatically be a Muslim too if the child had yet to reach puberty”.

This lawyer’s statement comes from former chief justice Ahmad Fairuz Abdul Halim’s interpretation of the Federal Constitution that any law which contradicted Islamic jurisprudence derived from the Quran and Sunnah was null and void.

HINDRAF is surprised that a former Chief Justice could come up with such idiotic view and we wonder how on earth he was appointed the Chief Justice in the first place.

Then we now have another lawyer who happens to be the lawyer of Mahathir Mohamad who says any laws that opposed Islamic law is null and void as Islam is the “supreme religion of the country”.

Since when did Islam become Supreme religion of the country? The original words in Article 4 of the Constitution which in itself is vague is now churned and twisted to suit the Islamist agenda of certain individuals. Even the British which drafted the word “ Islam is the religion of the federation” may not know what it means or should we challenge the Ultra Malay Muslims to seek clarification from the British what was meant by them?  

60 years ago our country had this same provision and yet there was no talk about Islamic domination. But over the last 10 years there is sudden rise in islamisation. What is happening to this country?

So what are the politicians from both divide going to do about this distortion of the meaning of Article 4 of the Federal constitution? Will they remain silent for fear of losing Malay voters? Why is there a sudden rise in islamization of a secular Malaysia. Didn’t Tunku and the Rulers pre-independence make it clear that Malaya is a secular nation?

Sir,

Re: Hate preacher Zakir Naik roaming free in Malaysia.

_____________________________________________________________________

We act for Mr. Waytha Moorthy Ponnusamy, Chairman of human rights advocacy group HINDRAF Malaysia.

We are instructed by our client, that the above named hate preacher Dr.Zakir Naik has been permitted by the Home Ministry to enter Malaysian borders, reside and to deliver lectures and sermons in Malaysia.

We are further instructed by our client, that;

a) Dr. Zakir Naik who is also a fugitive and wanted for terrorist links

b) Our client has received reliable information that Dr.Zakir Naik has been granted a permanent resident status under the sponsorship of a prominent individual with a “Dato” title who is also attached and/or connected to the Prime Minister’s Department;

c) Dr. Zakir Naik is also a banned person in various other countries for his associations with terrorist link groups;

d) Dr. Zakir Naik has also visited a private Islamic-Centric University in Shah Alam, Selangor which is also under investigations for radical teaching, after two of their students were arrested, suspected of being Islamic State recruits, planning a terror attack locally;

e)  Our client has also prior to this, issued a statement requesting your goodself to confirm whether or not, Dr. Zakir Naik has been accorded a permanent resident status for which till to date, you and/or your ministry has failed, refused and/or neglected to provide any reply whatsoever, or to deny the statement issued by our client;

f)  Dr.Zakir Naik is a threat to Malaysian National Security, to the harmony and the peaceful co-existence of the people of Malaysia, for his act of openly promoting terrorism, denigrating and ridiculing members of other faith

g)  Dr.Zakir Naik is extremely dangerous to community cohesion, religious tolerance and race –relations.

h)  Dr Zakir Naik’s presence would be undesirable and not conducive to the public good.

We are therefore, now instructed to demand which we hereby do demand from your goodselves as the Minister of the Home Affairs to provide:-

1. Transparent answers as to whether Dr. Zakir Naik has been granted a permanent resident status in Malaysia;
2. What is the logic behind harbouring Dr. Zakir Naik and to allow him freedom of movement and to deliver lectures and sermons in Malaysia, despite his international status of threat to National Security?

3. To confirm whether the Government is committed to curb fundamentalism and extreme teaching especially when it is a known fact that the Malaysians are believed to have already been engaging in terrorism activities in Malaysia and abroad?
4. Whether the Government has taken into account National Security as the paramount interest in allowing Dr.Zakir Naik to roam free in Malaysia and if the answer is yes what were the grounds taken into consideration?
5. What would your reply be to the inaction of The Inspector General of Police who has not responded to our clients letter dated 14th April 2016
6. Whether you are aware that Dr. Zakir Naik is a wanted fugitive in India allegedly for terrorism and money laundering linked activities and there is a ban on his Islamic Research Foundation by the Indian Government in exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (1) of section 3 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967?
7. Whether you are aware The Indian Central Government has received information that the statements and speeches made by Dr. Zakir Naik, are objectionable and subversive in nature as he has been extolling the known terrorists like Osama Bin Laden, proclaiming that every Muslim should be a terrorist?
8. Whether you are aware The Indian Central Government has received information that through such speeches and statements, Dr. Zakir Naik has been promoting enmity and hatred between different religious groups and inspiring Muslim youths and terrorists in India and abroad to commit terrorist acts, thus attracting punishment under Section 153 A of the IPC?
9. Whether you are aware The Indian Central Government has received statements of some terrorists arrested in the terrorist attack incidents or arrested ISIS sympathizers revealed that they were inspired by the fundamentalist statements of Dr. Zakir Naik, clearly indicating the subversive nature of his preaching’s and speeches?

We therefore on our client’s instructions demand which we hereby do demand from you in the capacity as the Home Minister to provide a reply to this letter within seven (7) days from the date of this letter.

Should you as the Home Minister fail, refuse and/or neglect to provide a satisfactory reply, we have strict instruction from our client to institute legal proceedings in the interest of National Security against you in the capacity of Home Minister and the Ministry of Home Affairs responsible for the Security and peaceful co-existence of the people of Malaysia to prevent any undesirable activities of Dr. Zakir Naik and to seek his immediate removal from Malaysia.

Yours faithfully,

KUALA LUMPUR: Hindraf chairman P Waythamoorthy has demanded that Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi respond to questions he posed on Indian Muslim televangelist Zakir Naik, whom the activist deemed a national security threat who is “openly promoting terrorism, denigrating and ridiculing members of other faiths”.

“Naik is extremely dangerous to community cohesion, religious tolerance and race-relations. His presence would be undesirable and not conducive to the public good,” said Waythamoorthy in a letter of demand filed through his lawyers.

Zakir delivered a Friday sermon last week on the invitation of the Perlis religious authority.

Zahid’s failure to respond to the issues in a week would result in Waythamoorthy initiating legal action.

The letter of demand, dated yesterday, questioned whether Zakir was granted permanent resident status in Malaysia and the logic of harbouring him in Malaysia even though he is deemed a national security threat in many countries.

Waythamoorthy also questioned whether national security was taken into account before allowing him into the country.

“… whether the government has taken into account national security as the paramount interest in allowing Naik to roam free in Malaysia and if the answer is yes what were the grounds taken into consideration?”

He also questioned Zahid on the inaction of Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar to respond on the status of investigation in a letter dated April 14, 2016 despite numerous police reports lodged against Zakir.

Waythamoorthy also reminded Zahid that Zakir is wanted in India “allegedly for terrorism and money laundering linked activities and there is a ban on his Islamic Research Foundation by the Indian Government in exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (1) of section 3 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967”.

He also asked whether Zahid is aware that India found that Zakir had delivered subversive and objectionable speeches.

Lastly, he questioned whether Zahid knew that Zakir was promoting enmity and hatred between different groups in India while inspiring Muslim youths to commit acts of terror, which is an offence under section 153A of the Indian Penal Code.

Section 153A of the Indian Penal Code refers to hate speech.

HINDRAF CALLS ON HOME MINISTER TO CONFIRM IF ZAKIR NAIK GRANTED PR STATUS

HINDRAF calls on the Home Minister Dato Sri Zahid Hamidi to confirm or deny if Zakir Naik was given Permanent Status in Malaysia and carries a Red Malaysian IC. We note yesterday the Deputy Home Minister denied Zakir was given citizenship, but however he was silent whether Zakir was indeed given a Permanent Resident status.

Months ago, HINDRAF received information from our well wishers that there was a secret meeting held at a hotel when a team of officers from the NRD were purportedly “processing his application” at a hotel in Kuala Lumpur. However HINDRAF did not pursue the matter then as those informants requested their identity to remain anonymous.

We now call upon the Home Minister to clear the air once and for all. We are also concerned that about 2 months ago the Home Minister was again apparently seen with Zakir Naik in Kuala Lumpur hosting him when the Indian Government was already seeking his whereabouts after allegations cropped up on the alleged IS terrorists claiming to have been motivated by Zakir’s speeches. 

HINDRAF would not be surprised if there is truth in the recent report by India’s National Investigation Agency that Zakir Naik is in hiding in Malaysia as well as being given Malaysia PR status. 

Although his preaching had been banned in India, Bangladesh, U.K. and Canada, Zakir had been provided with such immunity and support by this government when he was allowed to continue his preaching that clearly fostered the spirit of separateness and reinforced prejudice towards the Non- Muslim community in Malaysia. 

While over 300,000 descendants of the Malaysian Indian community still continues to lives in a stateless manner due to lopsided and racial policies, someone with proven credential like Zakir Naik who encourages violence and incite enmity amongst communities is given a freehand to preach and we are deeply concerned if he was indeed granted a PR status.
We also believe that the government owned Islamic network TV Alhijrah still carrying out Zakir’s TV show through his Peace TV when it is clear that such shows are not conductive for an harmonious state within the multi-cultural such as Malaysia.
