PRESS STATEMENT 29.05.2008

RE: STATEMENT ISSUED BY AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL & FIDH

Yesterday, two (2) renowned Human Rights watchdogs being Amnesty International and FIDH have issued statements in relation to human right violations in Malaysia that are enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights 1948.

HINDRAF welcomes the statements made and the international pressures through such esteemed organizations are powerful indicator as the international society begins to take keen interest on the atrocities created against Human rights and freedom in Malaysia. The pressure will be ongoing and it will not stop until, Malaysia recognizes and practices international standards on human freedom and rights.

The irony of the whole event is, Malaysia being a member of the United Nations Human Right Council had pledged to engage constructively in evolving the work of Human Rights Council for promotion and protection of human right through international standards and protection mechanism.

Brief Press Statement 28.05.08

RE: HOME AFFAIRS MINISTER CONTINOUSLY LYING. IS HE PREPARED TO RESIGN SHOULD I PROVIDE THE PROOF

I refer to the latest press statement by the Home Affairs Minister that the Government has not revoked my passport.

I repeat my earlier statement that I was informed by the British Immigration officers at Gatwick Airport that my International Passport has been revoked by the Malaysian Government on the 21st April 2008.

HINDRAF’s leader P. Waythamoorthy daughter Vwaishhnnavi’s letter to Malaysian King seeking her Birthday gift on His Majesty’s Birthday on 7th June 2008.

Dear HINDRAF supporters,

I take note of the press statement released to BERNAMA by 2 “civil” members of society namely Rajaratnam of MIYC and Vythilingam MHS.

I have received numerous phone calls over the last 24 hours from supporters throughout Malaysia requesting me to respond to the statements issued by them namely I quote Rajaratnam

“He should return to face the truth. He had gone to the United Nations and Britain. The general election had been held and the Indian community had given their verdict, so he has to come home to correct the situation,” said Rajaratnam.

He said Waythamoorthy should register Hindraf as a legitimate body if it was genuinely championing the rights and interests of the Indian community in the country.

“Now it is time to make peace and continue the struggle in a united society. Since Hindraf already has a voice in parliament, use the opportunity to raise the issues being championed,” he said.

PRESS STATEMENT 18TH MAY 2008

RE: My International Passport valid until year 2010

Home Minister lied to cover up the bungle of Government

Click on the image to see Waythamoorthy’s Passport. The Statement by the Malaysian Home Minister that the Malaysian Government has not revoked my passport is absolutely ridiculous, a blatant lie and as usual meant to mislead the public especially when they realised the bungle and blunder they had done.

I am indeed surprised that the senior Cabinet Minister would issue a statement based on probabilities without verifying the facts that the “probable reason was because my passport had expired”.
