MP presses leaders on temple issues


AN MP has questioned whether Indian leaders who support the opposition coalition, Ikatan Prihatin Rakyat, collectively accept the Rumah Ibadat Haram label, Makkal Osai reported.

Jelutong MP RSN Rayer was referring to a speech by Pasir Mas MP Ahmad Fadhli Shaari in Parliament when he used the term described as “insulting” by many.

The Malaysian Advancement Party, the Malaysian Indian People Party and the United for the Rights of Malaysians Party, which are in the opposition alliance, should clarify their stance, rather than pretending not to hear it, he said.

Temples being built on empty lots without approval, owners or authorities threatening eviction, the community responding with emotions and the government eventually giving alternative land has become common, Rayer said, urging the government to make clear what is being done to resolve the issue.
