WHILE Hindraf (Hindu Rights Action Force) appreciates the Royal Malaysia Police’s recent success in foiling terror attacks and assassinations, it also wants Inspector-General of Police Abdul Hamid Bador to consider additional security measures for Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department P. Waytha Moorthy.    

Hindraf legal adviser Karthig Shan, in a statement today, said what is disturbing is that the terrorists nabbed earlier this month had intention to assassinate several high-profile personalities due to purported accusations that they failed to uphold Islam and insulted the religion.

He said Hindraf supporters were very apprehensive, as before this, there was an attack on Waytha at his office on August 16, 2017 prior to his meeting with Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad before the 14th general election.

He added that Waytha was again singled out and targeted during the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD) rally and made a scapegoat during the Seafield temple riot issue and the subsequent death of fireman Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim.

Yesterday, Hamid told a press conference that police had arrested four persons suspected of terrorists activities. The four, believed to be members of Daesh, were said to be planning for terror attacks on non-Muslim places of worship and assassinations to avenge the death of Adib during the Sri Maha Mariamman temple riots last year. – Bernama, May 14, 2019.
