Kepada kaum India dan pihak berkuasa Malaysia
Vin Kumar
I think the title got your attention. Now, let me start.
Thaipusam is celebrated by Hindus (especially the Tamil community) to pay vows made to Lord Muruga (mainly) and other Hindu gods. It is one of Malaysia’s biggest attractions. Foreigners love the thaipusam atmosphere as they can see thousands of devotees fullfilling their vows by carrying milk pots, kavadis, getting pierced with belled hooks, etc.
(Continue to read it, I got my points coming up.)
Thaipusam brings good business to the Malaysian Tourism sector. It also brings a good name to our country as people worldwide talk about Thaipusam celebrated in Malaysia.
On the eve of Thaipusam, the Chariot procession takes place from the Amman temple in Lebuh Ampang until Batu Caves.
Hundreds of free- refreshment stalls are put up along the long journey for the devotees and walkers so that they can carry on their journey. Sometimes, there are even bare-footed devotees walking. Thaipusam is the only Hindu celebration I celebrate. So, it’s meaningful to me.
But from what I have seen since my first experience in KL Thaipusam is only 40% of devotees. The balance 60% are punks who should not live. I don’t care of their families. These punks should be shot dead.
They wear some kind of stadium wig with weird colours, they blow stadium horns, they rev their bikes loudly, the richer punks play non-religious songs loudly on their car speakers, they drink alcohol in public, they fight in public, they disturb the devotees, they harass the girls and their families, they do estate – level bike stunts.

These people are causing the public to feel uncomfortable. They are anarchists of the highest order.
These punks don’t see Thaipusam as a religious celebration. They see it as a “Screw the Police” Day.
What are the Police and RELA doing about these fellas?
All I could see are policemen lepaking around here and there while the Indian punks prance around the whole city.
So, here is a suggestion for you authorities:
You know the pathway taken during Thaipusam every year. It is always the same.
Why don’t you make stations along the way? Just have a patrol car or two every 20 Kilometres, police and RELA guarding and clearing the whole way for the devotees to walk peacefully, and some big police trucks to catch every punk making trouble there.
Put those punks under ISA. They are threatening the internal security of our nation, aren’t they?Is this procedure so hard to do? Don’t tell me there aren’t enough personnel or whatever nonsense.Bring in Angkatan Tentera Malaysia if you have to. They ARE trained for situations far worse than this. I’m sure they can handle these punks with ease. And restrict the licenses of stalls that sell those wigs and horns. These indian punks can’t support our Malaysian teams in stadiums, but use the accessories in inappropriate places.
Just think of how foreigners would think of our country if they saw one day of anarchy in a peaceful country?
That was for the Authorities.
Now, for you Indians.
Why do you disturb the devotees? I just dont get it.
There are people fullfilling prayers there, and you punks are goofing around.
Why can’t you let the devotees fulfill their vows peacefully?
Why the hell do you rev your bikes loudly?
Why drink beer in public during your own God’s celebration?
Why fight your own race?
Why harm innocent women and families there?
Why the hell do you behave like cheap people during Thaipusam?
Why are there durian kavadis?
Why are there ManUtd kavadis?
Why are there Tron Ayyasamy?
Why are there “Dasavatharam – Kamal Hassan” kavadis?
So far, I’ve heard stories that can only enrage me.
An Indian girl was molested by two drunk Indian boys behind a car during the Chariot processions.
She was hit on the head if she ever tried to resist.
A young boy around the age of 12 was whacked by aa group of Indians for wearing a shirt emroided with the number ’3′.
There was a refreshment stall put up by a bunch of Indians. They were drinking beer and causing havoc in the public. I heard a lady got punched by one of those drunkards until she fainted.
I even heard a story of a devotee woman carrying the Milk pot that died in a human stampede after being pushed.
Indians are revving their bikes and harassing people near SOGO area.
Suppose these stories are fictional. SUPPOSE they are. Who can assure that these stories wont happen during the next Thaipusam? To the police, use rubber ammo or taser guns or even live bullets to put down those punks and bring back order. Arrest them and whack them in public to control the crowd.
Human Rights is only for humans. Not for those Satanic hellspawns.
To the fellow Indians who agree, don’t bother about fighting for the rights of these punks. They have no function in the development of the society. They only bring chaos. Let these punks rot in hell.I dont really know how to get this message spreaded out to people in Malaysia. I’m sure every Tom, Dick and Harry has a Facebook account.
So, please share it.
I want the Chief of Police Di-Raja Malaysia to read this and make some initiative for next year’s Thaipusam. Let this reach our Prime Minister Mr. Najib, as well.
Sincerely,
A youth of this nation.
#To those who disagree, please feel free to choke yourselves and die.
Yes bro.totally agree with you.becoz of this dickhead punks,our own religion getting bad names..
Sir i agree wit ur d’cision….
1st of all,plz clear this kind of dirty stuff….
TQ……
very true, even in penang some of these punks wore those stupid trojan wig, thapusam is more like a funfair to them.
,Ya the punks make many trouble in taipusan – but when u says wana to use the ARMY or ISA force to those punk – its like a bit ov,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Lets say authorities take action against these barbarians, the very next thing you will hear is that “the police and government is against the Indian community, discrimination, bla bla bla.. All these ppl will be keeping their dicks inside their mouths when the real discrimination happns. Damn!
They even cant stand 1 round fight with FRU – So why wana waste time n our hindus respect to call army all
,Juz catch those punk without open a case fail i mean 117 – send them to pusat pemulihan ahklak for 5 years and wack then nicely ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I suggest formalize this writing, get digital signatures from netizens and send it to Indian Leader (so-called) Datuk G. Palanivel. This should be initiated by them to get a better attention from the force and government. Otherwise, it’ll be just us growling against each other on the wall of a 15″inch screen, maybe smaller now. Can that be done? I’m sure you’ll hit hundreds and thousands of signatures, petition to be exact.
Thanx to writter coz your writing voice out everything I wan to.and I do totally agreed with prakash comment as well… we cannot blame our police and goverment since fault in our own comunity… if any action taken on them (bloddy punk) our ‘politic heroes’ will take this oppurtunity to show their care and bang our GOV….then WAT CAN WE DO????
I couldnt agree more… i was thinking abt the same…but then it was just running in my mind, but pen it down clearly! bravo to you! this so-called ‘idiots aka katans’ should be shot dead for sure ! country’s garbage!…
I have to 100 percent agree with you dear writer, this bloody punks should at least be arrested during the day of the festival and released after the celebration is over..They are coming out on Thaipusam day as if they are on a killing rage,every year we hear news of people dying on this beautiful day or the least is people getting slashed,when we are killing among our own community please do not expect the other community to respect us because this punks reflect the entire community…sad..sad..sad…
I think the writer needs to write to The Star under the “Opinion” column and use more polite words. Don’t use words like ‘shot dead’ etc even you are so angry at these youngsters. The higher authorities do read “The Star” and probably will take action based on detail report like this.
I’m 100% agree wit u. at Ipoh also same. our Indian guys drink and spoil our Indian community name. Parents also must be alert with their childs activity during Thaipusam.
sir, tink logically n c, if a policemen caught an indian tat are causing trouble on tat day, the other indians wud tell tat the policemen is a racist…. the indian punk shud hv the brain to tink tat is a religious celebration..
agree with you…ivenegaleke sontha puthi venum bro…ive been seeing this since my school-days….
Lola has a point..polis tangkap, people say police jahat..racist…
These idiots should be stopped by the temple management. Where is Hindu Sangam? Arent they suppose to inform the worshippers on what they can or cannot do?
I stop going to Thaipusam all togther.
Indian communities is ENRICHING certain individual or Committee.
Why we PAY to Pray to GOD?
Its the same everwhere.God doesnt need anything from Men. Its our True love and Praise that he Needs.
man stray far away from worshipping GOD to Not worshiping GOD. We are all doing everything,with or without us knowing.
I applaud you for your daring blog. You voice out things as it is and yes I was that close to just strangle those Indian punk bastards with my bare hands. I just wished I had an invisibility cloak and a gun. =)
I thought the Indian community was about intellectual, religious people with a high sense of humanitarianism and morale values.
If these punks are also considered to be a part of the Indian community, please feel free to take no action.
One day, they will become even more barbaric, and only then we will think of an action.
IF possible, please spread this message out to everyone you can. If this goes viral, maybe the government will take action.
On a personal note, I dont want the Indian community to exist in large quantities, but rather in better quality. I want to see some change.
FYI, I’m only 21 and still a student. If I can make a move like this, I’m sure the rest of you can also make a better move.
And regarding the online petition, if anyone can do it, please do. Let’s make a change everyone. Peace
I am just afraid Thaipusam will be banned just because of this group of Setans. Nice one bro. Hopefully you request will be fulfilled and actions will be taken.
i dont think so…
how will all indians support what ever you are asking…. in the end will end up telling indians been discriminated by police or so called government.
What you telling is 200% or more percent agree! they should be shot down because these are the FLIES that getting our society with bad names!
This action must be done and decision must be taken from ourselves! We have to unite and come up with the decision to stop them, educate them, they should have self realization which i doubt they can get the message or not even we tell to them in tamil!
Rules to take TYPE of kavadis can be easily done by the temple committee. All this can be done by either NGOs or the most HATED government bodies… How buddies? Can we get 1 million from us to get this thing right?
LETS GET TOGETHER and DEMOLISH THE DEMONS!
Nice points dude. but i have a question?
What happens if the Police n RELA really does as u say? they did once..n the fucked up HINDRAF came. Its bcoz of dat org all this is happening and these cheap indians are daring enuf to involve in such act.
Post this on the HINDRAF presidents FB wall.. the do rally if police kills a criminal indian but do nothing when a gal gets molested by a cheap indian..
this is the main reason i’ve stopped going to thaipusam celebrations.
Agree
i agree 10000% about this matter!!1 thanks for voice it out atlast!!!!Hope next year Thaipusam will be in peaceful without any obstacles…i think the policemen could catch the people in crime that they might be searching for so long during this time!!! seriously!!! i dont know where are they coming from…really like barbarians!!!! ergh!!!!!stupids!!!!
yes i agree,blame our community not the government..
i think i love you. i really do.
well, do not blame anyone for this, ur askin for police, FRU’S and even army..stupid aren’t you? u wanna put those ‘punks’ like you mentioned under ISA???? Common, you gotta be more specific and professional probably? You can’t put ‘PUNKS’ under ISA for a road bully and getting drunk, the worst you could do is get them detained for that very day while they’re harassing the crowd, unlike what you’ve came up with! Total bullshit, i don’t know what race are you ‘YOUTH OF THIS NATION’ but you’re aware this article is too sensitive in a sense of racism? And about the police, they don’t give two fucks even if we ‘INDIANS’ fight among ourselves. It’s us who decides not them! Wanna shot them dead, go on and try, it would turn out to be a riot day instead! Lastly, dear ‘youth of the nation’ know your rights before posting an article! And whatever things that you have heard, are mostly rumours! Don’t just come with some stories which you hardly even know even if its the truth or not!
Sincerly,
A better youth of the nation.
bro..i will not agree with you that most of what this ppl talking is a rumor.i was there on the day the chariot left the amman temple and i did see all the bike ramming punk and those guys with stupid wigs and aslo the alcohol machans who think its super cool to drink in public.Seriouslly speaking raj..they are better dead then alive and this is not racism.i do proud to be indian but this ^%&*% giving us a bad name..shoot them i say .
Well said Raj, Now days youth’s think they can say anything. They fail to recognize the actual circumstances and give unethical suggestion which will not help our nations. Its Satu Malaysia, means one nation and if we ourselves criticize our ppl than why not the others. Thus please give some logic suggestion that will not hurt or scar anyone. I appreciate u have taken the effort to write abt this. However as wat Raj said get ur facts right and post so in future our Thaipusam celebrations will be much auspicious. Thank you. Hari Om.
yekoo.. are you EM I CEE ??
To “A better youth of the nation.” and “Indu”
Sorry to say that I think that you guys that never been to thaipusam. All he said was right! THATS THE FACT! ACCEPT IT! HALF OF OUR YOUTH COMMUNITY GOING BACKWARDS!!! ADMIT IT! WE ARE ALL RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS MATTER! DO NOT BLAME OTHERS!
Good quote by @Loges “STOP BLAME EACH OTHERS 1st GROW YOUR CHILDREN AS A HUMAN 2nd KEEP ON EYE ON YOUR CHILDREN’S 3rd GUIDE THEM FOR THEY FUTURE… AUTOMATICLY WE CAN SEE CHANGES IN OUR COMMUNITY………..”
To @Siva…. Dont do like this? Well we have to be more firm before going against those buggers! can u go alone and fight with them? u think its TAMIL movie or what? “Yengge anne velayutham varuvanda nu” irukenuma? ada poyaa!
OPEN UP EYES MAKKALS!!!
@Raj
If you can’t provide a better solution, either support or stay down. Simple as that.
I want them in jail for a fairly long term. It will teach them a lesson on how to behave in public.
I am an Indian, just as you are. This article is racism, eh? What gave you that idea?
Believe me, if I was a policeman, I wouldn’t give a flying fuck about anarchists. I’d shoot them down.
I know my rights, and I firmly believe I have not breached my rights to voice out my opinion.
I know what I heard can be rumors. My question is what is going to stop them from making those rumors into reality? Suppose something happens to a family member of yours during Thaipusam. What will you do then?
I want to prevent all that before it happens.
Again, if you’ve a better solution; voice it out. But if you are going to object to given solutions, you may as well read the last line from the article.
Dear Vin Kumar,
Thank you for writing this! After so many years, someone have spoken about this; finally! I bow to each and every word written by you, I definitely agree!
I wonder if there’s an action that will be taken. I doubt that.
The incidents you mentioned above are the main reasons why I don’t respect other Indians, and we are stereotyped by these useless bunch!
I wish this article would have knocked some sense into their heads!
Thank you for the article!
Hi
I wondering why most of the indian like to simply parking & stan on the midddle of the road and act like no others is like the road is his father 1 is this because of their Samivellu?? / what?? y like to parking in fornt of other ppl house gate to block others gate?? is this indian Couture / their just no brain??
@Vin Kumar
Ignore what others say negative about your thoughts on this and you surely know abt “Nande Katthe” 1 inidan climb the ladder, another will pull his leg down and himself also wont go up”
Wish you all the best on this cause and all of you the guys who agrees.
For Those who dont agree:
Just think this…what if today,tommorow or in future you get harrased by these “PUNKS” ,say you your self,your family or your loved ones gets harrased by these imbeciles..then only u gonna do something about it?! it will be too late..maybe you will be dead gettin murdered or suicide out of embarrassment..so try to change now of the situation..
Salute Vin Kumar for his rebellious cause
Also to Rageindian on seperate blogs
To everyone else, thank you for the support you give for my article.
As our friend skuma21 says, we should formalize this and make an online petition out of it. I’m not so good at that. If anyone can do it, please do so.
Let’s have a better tomorrow
Peace.
yup i agree fully but i think the top people i mean the leaders MIC or hindraf..should make a point and voice out to the indians youth..and for the youth and to the parents of this kids ,,teach your kids…the real way of life hindu ,
tamilans are the first people teach the world..what is civilisation about more than 5000 years ago and we are the first human came to malay nadu (malaysia) on 5th century in kedaram now its call kedah by king raja raja cholan….. we are the top people in the world those days ….. now why? what happend to our tamilise so shame on this
nothing to proud to said indian community is growing in malaysia..if you guys ask me…….dis because of they parents!!!!!!! they parents must know where is they children is going and with whom the mixing….. but i really not know what is happend to this punk parents????? if this gona change its in our hand sorry in our community hand…. STOP BLAME EACH OTHERS 1st GROW YOUR CHILDREN AS A HUMAN 2nd KEEP ON EYE ON YOUR CHILDREN’S 3rd GUIDE THEM FOR THEY FUTURE… AUTOMATICLY WE CAN SEE CHANGES IN OUR COMMUNITY………..
If indian know how to behave, you dont need any other arm forces to help you. Why other religion celebration are being peaceful and harmoy ?? This is all base on your own attitude.Dont blame the Police Force and dont waste the Army forces just for your small celebration. Behave yourself and your races definitely will be respected !

Salute to our fren Vin kumar for his brave voice out, i totally agree wt him. This punks had alwaz bring shame to our indian community.This year i went to penang for thaipusam and itz was quit bettr thn previous years probly cz alcohol shop wich is nearby d temple was closed on dat day n d police wer al aroundz d areas.Hwever thr still punkz who drunk n dance n even sm stupid punkz wear stupid trojan wig,hmmmm probly wanna get attention frm galz bt diz idiots duno dat itz jz reflct thr stupidity,n even sm parentz let thr smll kid dance,wat a hell is ths,its dz a plce to pay vows made to Lord Muruga or a cheap street dance competitions.First of al stop dance n drink alcohol durin thaipusam n even thiruvila,common punkz itz goin to be year 2020 n u still wana b like dz 4ever. Top people in political must tk sm mr action towardz dz prob rather thn jz sitin on chair doin nothin.Temple managemnt also must cm up wt strict rules n must b professional. CLEAN UP D GARBAGE DATZ BRINGZ DISEASE TO INDIAN COMMUNITY.
totally agree with you kumar. let us all make a change. these punk heads should atleast be treated like how those bersih 2.0 people were treated. LOL and their bikes should be taken away from them so that this asses would think twice before creating any havocs. cheers.
Dun talk much… If u saw such a incident, immediately do sumthing rather than nothing… Dun always pin point to others or expect other to do sumthing… If u all feel so disgracing peo carrying such a kavadi’s than tell straight to em… By u peo duin tiz kinda fools thing in fb, u aso disgracing our community what… Dun u thnk bout tat… Stop duin things lyk tiz….
By u duin tiz… U making this incident becum more worst… After seeing tiz many more peo would like to do lyk tiz… Y u wanna blow tiz matter up… Our security n safety sistem is not tat worst… V r still depending on police n fru to run tiz festival… Peo lyk u only lyk to post n make tiz issue big jus becoz to show tat u are active in fb… If lyk wat u says, molesting or a boy been beaten in such a big festival in front of more than 1000 plus people over there, would they juz stand n watch the show, pls laa think b4 wat r u posting or comment…dun anyhow shoot as wat u lyk… If this kinda thing happen than u try to help laa… At least u did sumthing good….
Wat u talk-talk macha..u been drink-drink?
Bro, Puhlease lar! Did you tried to digest what the author is trying to convey?
Anyway, since you are trying hard to counter-attack the facts mentioned by Bro Vin Kumar in this article, I would suggest you to write up an article as well and have it published here so that we all can have a healthy discussion on this matter. Agree?
Dude I seriuosly feel like throwing a dictionary at your face right now……
Ask who is this punk? why are they there? why they are created…. this is a problem that we indian face today…. if the Youth chairman not doing anything to make sure this punk in temple. those punk should be shot dead in public for others to know that those paria are not welcome in ours commitee……
Bravo to the writer. I can feel your frustration. Believe me we have been talikng about this for half a decade already online in other sites. Nothing has changed. Its all because of people like Raj. They do not support these punks but at the same time they do not support our moves as well. All because of FEAR. Our Indians fear for everything. Thats why other people can easily step on our head. I must agree that bringing Army and sending them under ISA is way not possible and not required too but something must be done. Nowadays even girls are joining in the ruckus.
The other problem is politics. Almost every party out there will take advantage of the situation to talk politics aginst each other. Wether its ruling party, opposition or even HINDRAF. Everyone will point fingers. This is why no action can be taken easily.
Again most of the Temple heads are related to MIC leaders. They use temples as their own business centers. They shop rented out during Thaipusam should be limited to sell certain kind of biz only but they allow all kind of business like pasar malam. Next the Thanneer Panthal, when the temple authority said they will play the centralised music, they refused, WHY? because they want to play some cinema songs like Kolaveri, kattipudi kattipudida so these punks can dance to their music. As thanneer panthals function is only to serve water to the devotees, they shouldnt even be allowed to play any music.
the temple when getting permission from the police for the procession, they should also ask the police to make sure that there shouldnt be any alcohol served anywhere throughout the journey, not even bring from outside. same should goes to the illegal parking attendents. Since its illegal they can be arrested and put to jail atleast for 3 months but the same temple mgmt is the one who is allowing all this. Even the donation doesnt go to the temples. So many frauds but inside and outside the temples. Who can we ask for help?
The only solution I can see is, when we remove all the current temple heads and replace them with new and responsible person. The these gangs and punks can be get ridden off.
The temples can also educate the public on the correct religious practices either by giving out flyers or running some classes so no more Durian kavadis or Football kavadis. But what we saw this year was the temple giving out flyers on “UNDILAH BN” and 1 Malaysia. They they brought the politics into the temple ground and carried the politician’s balls rather than kavadis.
Its a shame to our community indeed.
Hindu Sanggam should introduce its own law enforcers and put all these rascals to rehab or something.Police may not lay its hands on these fucktards because it will be made into racial or a human rights issue.
Its a shame that we have degraded to a level where we need an armed force to ensure a ‘peaceful’ religious affair.
Come on Banu.. Hindu sangam is really busy with condemning THR raaga tagline..they wont have time for this..
mean while can some one do something about this JAGA KERETA, this guy going around and collecting money from devotees . they are so daring even the police not doing something.What we can do about this ?
I can understand the writer’s anger..This has been happening year in year out.Lets list down what should be in place realistically in order to counter these:
1.Religious enforcement officers(sumtin like Jakim in islam)to enforce regulations e.g only devotees wearing yellow or red or suitable religious attires should be allowed to join the procession.
2.Heavier action from police(i would like to recall an incident which happened near Sentul Police station during this years KL celebration whereby a few indian plain cloth police personnel detained those thugs speeding n ramming motorbikes..they were slapped till they fall off from their bike,bike keys snathched and detained immediately..Do u know how the crowd reacted?they(mothers,fathers,sisters brothers n etc) cheered the police action.We want more of such enforcement from police(esp. indian police)
3.Political empowerment(we have had an indian ministers in the cabinet since independence..yet changes has not been forthcomin..so change..If ministers can’t do this,who can..NGO?Perhaps..we may need to seek Dato’ Ambiga Sreenivasan’s assistance(One of her success stories which many may not know..The Orang Asli Hospital which has been mismanaged for a few decade by jabatan hal ehwal orang asli has now been taken over by Ministry of Health thanks to her intervention together with another such strong indian women Dr.Selva)
4.Once politically empowered,change the temple committee.Make the temple answerable to higher authority e.g hindu sangam or so.
Last but not least,politically if we are in the right direction with right leaders,when enforcement is tight,i believe we can put all this to an end.But for enforcement to work,u need political will or NGO’s which are really strong..so we got to form one.
I was just wishing and hoping someone to write this out. I experience the same exact thing and as a girl, I myself wish I had a gun and shoot down all those idiots! Thank you very much for posting this up..
Friends we the 1 have to change our community, I saw a 2 drunken boy molest a girl infront of me, I can’t do anything … how police going to arrest 30+ punks? so we can’t blame our police and RELA .. So we have to blame our society and their parents …
It’s all starts from parents. If we want change, then GEN Y has to change. We are the largest population at the moment. Once we become parents, raise up our children in a right path. Give them proper education, religion path and teach them what love is is all about. Throw away whatever bad intention, negative thoughts and jealously. We should be humble enough. Treat all the religion and race same. One should be a good example for themselves and others. Just think we are human being and that’s the only religion, race and skin colour that we do have in this world. If one achieves this, not only we can save thaipusam, indeed we can save the world.
Its just not the young punks who are creating the havoc. I saw this incident happening right in front of me when I was walking with the chariot. One idiot elderly man walked behind all the young girls and whacked their backside, and before the girls could turn around and see he moved swiftly to another side. A few ladies were watching this from behind. Then one gutsy lady who was walking along my side, rushed and got hold of the elderly guy and punched him hard on his back and when he turn around she hit him on his face and told him she saw what he has been doing and threatened to report to the polis. Before she could pull him, he quickly pushed the lady and ran away into the crowd. He must be in his mid 50′s. What can I say…I have given up on these Indians, young and old who have lost their moral values! Yengka solli mutikirathu!!!!
First of all, thanks a million for putting tis up in the web….
Sometimes, i hate myself for unable to take any action regarding tis matter every single year.
Well my suggestion regarding tis social humiliation is tat if the authorities r too scared to take actions……why not we(brave & concern indian youths) take actions & law for the greater good!!
Think about it folks…every year there were so many of our people been harrassed (our mother,sister, cousin, frens & wife). R we juz gonna sit & watch !!! For God sake, PLEASE ACT AND ACT NOW !!! Jai Hind…Valge Tamil Valge Tamilargal
Actually friends, there are many more changes we can do. I’ve only posted up this matter because this is my primary concern.
Suppose we form a community of some sort like JAKIM for the Indians, we must ensure that we have enough support to keep it strong.
If you ask me, I’d rather make a police report on asking them to do as I suggested or something better. As a matter of fact, the police could take action in this matter if all of us make the report.
Taking the law into our own hands will only land us between a rock and a hard place. We must make calculative steps and ensure there are no mistakes or loss on our side to ensure that this plan can succeed.
Suppose the police can not correspond as we expect to the report, then we may take the matter into our own hands.
Taking laws into our own hands is something all of us would not want to do, but what should we do, or what are our options when those who are meant to protect us fail to do so, consistently?
I’m from Ipoh and Thaipusam is one of the most eagerly expected by all family and friends, especially for those dear one’s who have vows to be fulfilled. This year was the same and me and my friends were expecting to have a good time as most of us meet up very rarely as many are working in Klang Valley and one or two returning from overseas. But to our utter embarrassment, we saw filthy scenes which really made us to lose our mood to celebrate this beautiful occasion.
Some of the despicable acts have been aforementioned such as the Trojan-kind wigs, consuming of alcohol drinks, and etc etc. Guess everywhere the mentality is same as we witnessed such incidents in Ipoh as well. Some of my grouses:
1) Why the hell the guys dress up worse than street-side beggars? And some goes for ‘bling-bling’ mode with sunglasses at nite, when there is no sun at all in the first place?? Worse, they don’t fail to drink alcohol and boast about it further to show of they’re machismo.
2) Gals are faring far worse.. Many wear over-the-top make-up which doesn’t really make sense for such an occasion, follows the dress-code more suitable for parties and marriages. Loitering around till the wee hours of midnite, with no supervision of elders. And happily flirting around with all the morons.
3)I’ve got no idea how people claim to be attending a religious ceremony, when after their prayers, they just tend to eating non-vege food and that too near the temple.. What respect they had for Thaipusam?
4)This is something which irritates me a lot. Why deliver political propaganda during a religious festival? You are free to choose whichever political side you favor, but keep it out of a religious occasion. Don’t the so-called ‘elders’ know how to differentiate politics and religious issues?
5) To those who keep it as a ‘profession’ to dance during Thaipusam – What rights do you think you have to call the other party into a fight, when they demand you to not disturb during a kavadi procession? The other party are the actual one’s who made the bookings and payments of drummers for their kith and kin who are kavadi-bearers? So on what basis you guys are fighting for? If you’re so enthusiastic to show off your dancing skills, pay from your own pockets, arsholes!!
6) What made me and my friends literally heartbroken: During the chariot procession on the following day of Thaipusam, we saw 2 different gals happily dancing around surrounded by more than 10 guys, at 2 different places! The gals were obviously being fed alcohol and the guys were just throwing themselves on the gals, and in the process obviously molest them.. What’s even more despicable, the Indian public attends to the enthusiasm of these morons, by standing there and watching them all the while and not to forget, record it on their cellphones!! What bloody mentality is that? What you are going to do with the recordings? Upload it on Youtube and other social-networking sites? Did you people think of the consequences of the gals’ future?
7) The worst of the lot – A bunch of 30-40 bastards, broke coconuts in the name of paying penance and then continued to bursting firecrackers and uncork bottles of Carlsberg!! F***ing shit, the chariot was tainted with beer and the policemen who were accompanying the chariot did not do a single thing other than to sit and watch!!! What can we do? We’re unable to question them as we were outnumbered and we don’t have the privilege of time as well…
After witnessing all these, I’m terribly ashamed of our own community and worse, feel so bloody-guilty when my peers, colleagues, relatives, friends in overseas who originates from various other countries, praise Malaysian Indians for ‘safe-guarding’ Tamil culture and sensitivities!!
Forget about authorities, what I wish to see is that, the households or parents should take the blame and responsibility for not bringing up the next generation of Tamil people with sense of pride and honour! It all starts from the home…. RELA, Police Force and etc are secondary… The primary reason stem from the upbringing..
and a big thank you for the writer for having mutual feelings with me and even better, writing exactly what was in my mind word-by-word!!
I saw all these happen and very angry with these morons. THIS HAS TO STOP, thaipusam is not a funfair but a religious festival and everyone must know how to respect it.All these punk youths should be arrested so that it does not happen anymore. Stern action should be taken then only they will be a stop to it. Its such a disgrace to our community, which is extremely SHAMEFULL. I dont blame the police at all. Why should they care anyway if our leaders and temple authority didnt have a proper guideline to control these vice activities! This is one of the reason we are less respected and our demands are not heeded in this country. Do you see people from other religion disrespecting their own culture?
Thaipusam nowadays has become like a rave celebration or I name it as ‘street party’ rather than a religious celebration. What ever stuffs or fun activities we can find during a street party in a city or town you also can find it during thaipusam . Don’t believe me ? So if you can find punks or hooligans during rave celebrations or street party you also can find them during Thaipusam. You get the knot there?
Anyway just think how many of us will be left to pray in temple in 100 years. May be will become Muzium. We should stand together and create a new generation rather then sit down and talk in coffee shop. Following YB
