Barbaric act 兽蛮行为

It replicated a scene in Somalia 1993 where US soldier's dead bodies were dragged on the street for public display. It was a barbaric act.

But it was in a war zone and a lawless country.

Yesterday in Shah Alam, the capital city of Selangor, a severed cow head was on displayed at the State Secretariat building brought in by a group of 50 residents from Section 23 after their Friday prayer at a nearby mosque. They were protesting the relocation of a Hindu temple to their neighborhood. They spat and stomped on the cow head and called out the name of Dr. Xavier Jeyekumar, the Indian Exco member in charge of non-Muslim affair of Selangor.

Cow is a sacred animal in Hinduism.

There were a number of policemen on duty but watching the incident without any action taken. The Police chief of Shah Alam district conveyed his apology to Dr. Jeyekumar and a few other leaders for police's inaction in a meeting this morning.

Many Indian and Hindu leaders called on their communities to remain calm and do not over-react to this isolated incident of un-ethical and barbaric behaviour of a few.

I condemned with the strongest term the un-religious, insensitive, barbaric and stupid act of this group of people.

On the eve of 52nd independence day, and month of Ramadan, let us offer a prayer for our beloved country Malaysia and ask for forgiveness .... Lord, have mercy on us.


这好像是重演1993年，在索马里亚的街头，当时美国军士的尸体，被拖着在街上游行示众。这是一种兽蛮的行为。

但那是在一个毫无法纪、战乱的地区。

昨天，在雪兰莪州的首府莎亚南州秘书署大厦前，一群约五十人，来自该市23区的居民，在附近的回教堂祈祷后，带了一个牛的头颅，放在大厦的面前，示威抗议州政府要把一间兴都庙迁移到该区。他们高喊负责雪兰莪非回教徒事务的行政议员惹耶古玛的名字，并践踏牛头，大吐口水。

牛是兴都教的圣兽。

当时有警察在场维持秩序，但对他们的行为，视若无睹，没有采取任何行动。今天早上，莎亚南警区主任对他的属下没有行动，向惹耶古玛及其他领袖道歉。

许多印度及兴都教徒领袖，向他们的团体发出呼吁，要求他们保持冷静，不要冲动的采取任何反应，因为这是一小群愚蠢、兽蛮的人所做的孤立事件。

我严重谴责这群缺乏敏感，不符合信仰及兽蛮的人所做的愚蠢事件。

我国即将庆祝建国52周年的前夕，也在这圣洁的回教徒斋戒月里，让我们为马来西亚奉上诚心的祈祷，也求天主的宽恕。求主垂怜我们。
