Some 50 residents enraged with the proposed relocation of a Hindu temple to their area staged a noisy protest with a severed cow's head this afternoon.
The residents - from Section 23 in Shah Alam - who gathered after the Friday prayers, placed the head outside the gates of the state secretariat building for a short period before removing it.
In another report, Section 23 residents action committee chairperson Mahyuddin Manaf said "We did a post mortem (on the protest) but could not identify the people who brought it," he told Malaysiakini.
Is Mahyuddin telling a lie on Ramadhan? He should refer back to another statement made by his deputy.
Addressing the crowd, Section 23 action committee deputy chair Ibrahim Sabri said: "If there is blood, you (the state government) will be responsible if you are adamant about building the temple."
"This is a warning. Relocate the temple to Section 22. This cow is a present to the state government. This is a gift from us," he added.
Mahyuddin said that the cow head was likely brought by angry residents."Maybe, they meant it (as a symbol of) stupidity. In Malay culture, the cow is a symbol of stupidity, or leaders that are stupid," he said.
Which Malay culture is Mahyuddin referring to? Can we bring a pig's head to a protest against the building of a mosque in a non-Muslim majority area? Later, can we claim that the pig is a symbol of stupidity too?
This act of provocation, whether using a cow or a pig head, is insensitive and stupid. No, the leaders are not stupid because they were trying to accommodate Malaysians of all faiths and culture to co-exist peacefully.
Mahyuddin and his gang are the air heads. The action of Mahyuddin using the label of Islam is actually doing a big injustice to the religion founded by the great prophet.
Shame on you! This is proven stupidity if Mahyuddin continue to insist that he does not know a cow is sacred to the Hindus.
Please stop hiding behind the race curtain again for acting like a moron. This self-proclaimed PAS member should be sacked from the party.
