Dengkil temple targeted in alleged arson bid amid land dispute

Malaysiakini : The Sri Maha Mariamman Temple in Dengkil, Selangor, which has been at the centre of an ongoing dispute, was allegedly targeted in a supposed arson attack in broad daylight yesterday.

In a Facebook post last night, activist Arun Dorasamy asserted that the perpetrator behind the alleged attack is believed to have set on fire a thick stack of papers to burn down the temple’s store room’s wooden door.

The store, he said, houses essential equipment, including a generator set and other items estimated to be worth between RM20,000 and RM30,000.

“However, the fire failed to spread. The heat caused a plastic pipe at the bottom of the door to melt, allowing water to flow out and help extinguish the fire before it could intensify,” he added.

Arun, who represents the NGO Temple Preservation Action Team (Tepat), further stated that the incident could have resulted in significant damage and serious safety risks had the fire spread into the store.

Steven Ong : Its the PM Anwar , who had officially authorized indirectly the demolision of illegal temples. Many had ask him to reverse his words but till now , he ke[pt silent on this. 

He should be blamed too. Another important point for all to investigate is how this Mr Suhaili Ahmad bought that piece of land. Who sold it to him and is it properly done and approved by one having authority.? 

Why did this Mr Suhaili allowed the building of the temple? He approved it , knowing that it will be rellocated when told to rellocate?

MarioT : Supposed to be fasting and praying but on a rampage to cause serious trouble Anwar, the ball is in your court.

MalayaPhD : Expect more to come thanks to PMx who is devoid of wisdom due to obvious reasons!
