KERAJAAN NEGERI PRIHATIN KEPERLUAN MEMBINA TEMPAT-TEMPAT IBADAT SECARA TERANCANG

Terdapat  beberapa versi laporan berhubung jawapan yang diberikan Menteri Besar, Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim mengenai isu pembinaan kuil ketika menjawab soalan Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) Dusun Tua, Ibrahim Sani pada sesi sidang Dewan Negeri Selangor (DNS), semalam.

Kerajaan Negeri Selangor ingin menjelaskan pendirian mengenai pembinaan kuil dan rumah ibadat lain iaitu

  • Pembinaan tempat-tempat beribadat harus dibuat secara terancang dan mengikut garis panduan kerajaan demi memastikan kepuasan semua pihak yang terlibat
  • Projek perumahan baru yang bakal dibina di Selangor diwajibkan mengambil kira kewujudan kuil dan rumah ibadat lain  yang sudah wujud di kawasan tapak atau kawasan berdekatan tapak pembinaan

Sekiranya pihak pemaju gagal mengambil kira rumah-rumah ibadat yang sudah wujud berdekatan dengan tapak pembangunan atau sekurang-kurangnya menyediakan rancangan rapi untuk pemindahan rumah ibadat tersebut yang dipersetujui semua pihak terlibat, kelulusan untuk membina tidak akan diberi.

Sejak Julai 2008, Kerajaan Negeri Selangor telah meluluskan 30 geran tanah kepada kuil Hindu manakala 15 lagi masih menunggu kelulusan Exco untuk diwartakan.

Permohonan bagi membina rumah ibadat perlu diperhalusi melalui kajian mendalam dan setiap kelulusan yang dibuat tertakluk kepada kekosongan tanah, kesesuaian lokasi dan keperluan penduduk setempat.

Laporan media yang mendakwa Kerajaan Pakatan Rakyat tidak mengambil kira kuil dan rumah ibadat lain ketika meluluskan projek pembangunan adalah tidak benar.

Pegawai Sekretariat Akhbar Pejabat Menteri Besar bertugas sepanjang DNS berlangsung dan sedia memberi  penjelasan jika terdapat sebarang kekeliruan.

UPDATED with unofficial English translation: (6.21pm)

There are several versions of the report regarding the answer given by the Menteri Besar, Tan Sri Khalid, concerning the issue of construction of temples while answering the question raised by ADUN of Dusun Tua, Ibrahim Sani, during the S’gor State Assembly session yesterday.
The S’gor State Govt wishes to clarify its stand on the building of temples and other places of worship, that is:
– The construction of places of worship has to be carried out in a planned manner and in accordance with government guidelines, to ensure the satisfaction of all parties involved
– New housing projects that are planned to be built in S’gor must take into account the existence of temples and other places of worship that are already existing on or nearby to the development site.
If developers fail to take into account existing places of worship near the development site, or at least come up with a detailed plan to shift the place of worship which is agreed to by all parties, development approval will not be granted.
Since July 2008, the S’gor State Gov’t has approved 30 land grants to Hindu temples whilst 15 more are still awaiting Exco approval to be gazetted.
Any application to build places of worship must be studied in-depth and every approval given is subject to land availability, suitability of location and the needs of the local residents.
The media report which alleges that the Pakatan Rakyat government does not take into account temples and other places of worship in approving development projects is untrue.
The MB’s Office Press Secretary was on duty during the State Assembly sitting and is ready to provide further explanation if there is any confusion.

  1. Thank you, Teresa. This is what I call a transparency government. This is the way to counter lies by Umno bastards and their bastardised press like the New Shit Times and Utusuan Shit Malaysia. We have had enough of Toyo’s Umno shit and lies. We have had enough of their chicanery and subterfuge. We shall drive them to the sea in the next election. We shall make each and every Umno, MCA and MIC bastard lose his pants. We shall turn Selangor into a no-opposition zone, to quote this idiot by the name of Toyol.

  2. I am aghast by the way Murali of PKR confronted you with regard to the Hindu temple issue. The way he put forward his grievances sounded as though Pakatan is as bad, if not worse, than UMNO, where temple demolition has become part of their KRA. If Pakatan is really that unthoughtful, has he ever pause to think for a moment how Tan Sri Khalid and YB Khalid Samad stood up to the mob at a town hall meeting with threats to their lives with regard to the re-location of a Hindu temple to serve the needs of the Hindus? Even a Muslim lady Exco member was threatened with a rape. Yet despite all these, Tan Sri Khalid still went ahead with his relocation plans. I wonder whether we are better or worse off with a person like Murali who is nothing more than an MIC trojan, thuggish and racist in every sense of the word.
