Cow head protest: A-G’s decision lauded

PETALING JAYA: The MCA Non-Government Organisation Liaison Bureau has lauded the Attorney-General’s decision to charge the protesters responsible for bringing a cow’s head to a controversial demonstration over the relocation of a Hindu temple to Section 23, Shah Alam.

Bureau chairman Datuk Ti Lian Ker said the Aug 28 incident involving 50 protesters went against the Malaysian political culture of consensus building in a legal and peaceful manner.

“We hope that the decision to charge these illegal demonstrators and those who had inflamed religious and racial sentiments will be consistent and without regard of their political support or affiliations so that the rule of law prevails,” he said in a statement Tuesday.

The protestors had dragged the decapitated head of a cow, stamped and spat on it during the protest. The cow is considered sacred by Hindus.

Ti said the police and the A-G should also charge residents who “committed criminal assault and battery” against Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim and Shah Alam MP Khalid Samad in last Saturday’s dialogue.

“Both are elected representatives of the people. The uncouth mob behaviour displayed by several residents -- such as carrying a chair in a display of violence to an elected official -- must not be allowed or encouraged,” he said.

Ti said that actions like street protests against the teaching of Science and Mathematics in English was a form of political blackmail by an “aggressive minority against the political will and desire of the silent majority.”

“Of late, we have seen Malaysians developing a tendency to resort to mob antics and violence to express themselves.

“This trend of violence in whatever name must be stopped and there should no justification given. An offence is still an offence,” he said.
