SHAH ALAM: Residents of Section 23 here who protested against the relocation of a Hindu temple from Section 19 to their neighbourhood on Friday claim they have been victimised and unfairly accused of stoking racial and religious intolerance.
Chairman of the action committee for the protest, Mahayuddin Manaf, said the residents were merely protesting the relocation of the temple but it had been “hijacked” by another group that brought along a cow’s head to the state secretariat building.
The 50-odd demonstrators had gathered after Friday prayers and marched some 300m from the state mosque to the state secretariat building with the cow’s head.
He said the residents action group, which was made-up of members from Umno, PKR and PAS, had gone to the state secretariat to see Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim as well as the relevant executive councillors to voice their grievances.
“However, our trip to the state secretariat had been exploited by certain quarters and used as a platform to rabble-rouse,” Mahayuddin claimed when contacted yesterday.

Polis pun belum buat apa-apa lagi. Masa hari tu polis pun ramai yang hadir siap dengan "riot gear", tapi setakat menonton aje. Maklumlah, tak ada yang memproteskan pemprotes tu. Ingat-ingat kalau ada, CPO Selangor takkan agak-agak bertindak seperti dalam kes-kes di mana rakyat yang berpakaian hitam dan memegang lilin diberkas. Tapi kalau setakat orang UMNO mengapi-apikan isu kaum dan agama, tak pelah.
Tapi sekarang ni nak takut mengaku pula?
Terang-terang dalam laporan video Mkini, Mahyuddin dengan timbalannya meraung-raung sambil memijak kepala lembu tu. Dalam laporan video tu jugak, Mahyiddin sendiri kata yang mereka sengaja tunjuk biadap. Tak caya tengok sendiri videonya di sini.
Sekarang, lain cerita pula. Kononnya nak pergi bincang dengan MB saja. Segalanya yang buruk tu dipersalahkan kepada "pihak-pihak tertentu."
Siapa agaknya "pihak-pihak tertentu" itu? Bukankah mereka kata yang protes tu telah menyatukan ahli-ahli UMNO, PAS dan PKR demi kepentingan Melayu? Kalau Melayu semua tu sudah bersatu, agaknya "pihak-pihak tertentu" yang dimaksudkan - orang bukan Melayu ke?
Ni semua cakap tak serupa bikin dan pesalah yang menyalahkan orang lain. Sebiji macam tabiat orang UMNO!
Sudahlah...
