Hindraf detainee faces harm, says mother
Source : Indiainfo.com
Sunday, April 13, 2008 13:41 [IST]
Kuala Lumpur: The mother of a Tamil Hindu leader has alleged that her son was being served food with excessive sugar by jail authorities even though they knew he suffered from diabetes and other ailments.
K. Kalaivanyi, the widowed mother of P. Uthayakumar, one of the five leaders of the detained Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf), on Saturday lodged a police report alleging that there was a "silent agenda" to harm her son.
Uthayakumar is lodged in the Kamuntin Detention Centre. Friends say he is weak and had been denied his medication after being prematurely discharged from the hospital the day before.
Lawyer Uthayakumar, 46, was arrested with four other Hindraf leaders Dec 13 for allegedly trying to incite Hindus over the plight of two million Tamil Hindus who came to Malaysia during the British era. They are being detained for two years under the stringent Internal Security Act (ISA).

20,000 DEFY POLICE TO CELEBRATE ANWAR'S BAN EXPIRY
Source : M'Kini
About 20,000 people attended a rally in central Kuala Lumpur tonight to mark the expiry of Anwar Ibrahim ban from public office, a decade after he was sacked as deputy prime minister.
The crowd defied a ban on the event which was held in Kampung Baru despite scores of riot police were deployed in the futile attempt to stop the illegal gathering.
"We have not issued any permits for the gathering. I advise all the supporters not to attend it. The gathering is banned," city police chief Muhammad Sabtu Osman told AFP earlier today.
At about 9.15pm, Anwar took the stage to tell his supporters to wait two weeks on whether he would be running for parliamentary seat and return to active politics.
PKR bagged 31 seats in last month's general elections and Anwar had said that one of the parliamentarians would resign so that the party de facto leader could contest in a subsequent by-election.
In his speech, Anwar also attacked his nemesis, former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad, and accused him of abuse of power.
"He has made the judiciary worse. He is worried that I'll be the next PM," he said.
Anwar also lambasted Najib Abdul Razak, saying that the prime minister-in-waiting was "not fit" to assume the post.
After speaking for one hour, Anwar was told by the police to stop the gathering.
He subsequently told the crowd that he would "lead by example" and requested the crowd to disperse.
Once seen as the heir apparent to long-time leader Mahathir, Anwar was subsequently convicted on sex and corruption charges and spent six years in jail, before storming back to prominence in March elections.
With Anwar at the helm, a reinvigorated opposition seized a third of parliamentary seats and five states in the worst ever showing for the Barisan Nasional coalition that has ruled for half a century.
Now the 60-year-old maverick is once again being touted as a future prime minister, but this time for his Pakatan Rakyat opposition alliance which he has described as a "government-in-waiting".
The sodomy charges were later dropped but the corruption count prevented him from standing for public office until tomorrow.
Surprise in store
Anwar had been expected to re-enter Parliament quickly through a by-election in one of the seats held by his party, and to challenge Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi in a symbolic no-confidence vote soon after.
But in light of the stunning and unexpected gains, he has said he is in no hurry to act and will instead focus on building up the opposition.
Meanwhile, party's deputy president Syed Husin Ali had earlier rejected the police objections to the rally, but said PKR had made confidential alternative arrangements for the celebration.
"We will go ahead with it for the simple reason that that area is a private area, it is not a public area," he said of the proposed venue.
"We can't understand why there is this sudden change of mind on the part of police... in fact, they were originally involved in discussions to control traffic and ensure security."
Pressuring the police
Syed Husin said he suspected the government, which has been badly rattled by the unprecedented election setback, may be putting pressure on police.
"They might fear that there might be some strong political influence that this gathering might have on the public," he said.
Abdullah has refused to stand down despite the electoral debacle, insisting he has a mandate to rule and promising to introduce long-heralded reforms that voters punished him for never delivering.
But the opposition and many political commentators believe the coalition will continue to flounder and that Anwar could seize power within a few years, or perhaps even a few months.
"I think they are very likely to form the next government and it's a matter of timing, of when this will take place, whether it's at the next elections or before then," said Tricia Yeoh of the Centre for Public Policy Studies.

FREE HINDRAF 5 AND ALL ISA DETAINEES CAMPAIGN...
Thanks to : http://malaysianindian1.blogspot.com/
To: The Prime Minister and Government of Malaysia
No law in Malaysia shames the country or undermines its democratic system of government more than the Internal Security Act (ISA), which allows indefinite, arbitrary detention without trial.
The ISA stands out as a barbaric law that goes against all our notions of what law and justice should mean. The ISA is an evil, anti-democratic law that can have no place in a country that upholds the Rule of Law.
The ISA subverts natural justice. Natural justice demands that any person accused of a crime should have the right to due process and to be presumed innocent unless and until he or she is convicted in an independent, open court of law.
Without due process and legal checks and balances, ISA detainees are left at the mercy of their captors. Detainees have complained of cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment while under detention.
We therefore call for the immediate repeal of the ISA.
Please write to the Malaysian government and UN to express your protest.

POLICE REPORT TEMPLATE FOR UTHAYAKUMAR! EVERYONE MAKE A POLICE REPORT NOW !
Dear HINDRAF Supporters,
We Penang HINDRAF supporters lodged 8 police reports in Patani Road Police station, alleging that Uthayakumar (diabetic patient) had been denied proper medical treatment. This is deliberately done just to harm Uthaya’s health. We want police to take action before his health deteriorates any further.
Below are the name and report numbers :
1) Saraswaty – Kamunting/001629/08
2) Sivakumar – Kamunting/001636/08
3) Sivabalan – Kamunting/001632/08
4) Haribalan – Kamunting/001633/08
5) Kalaiselvam – Kamunting/001635/08
6) Sunthar – Kamunting/001634/08
7) Valliamal – Kamunting/001630/08
8) Thurairaj – Kamunting/001631/08
We Penang HINDRAF supporters encouraging the other concern citizens to lodge similar Police report against Commandant of Taiping Prison and Home Minister. HINDRAF Penang strongly demanding Commandant of Taiping to STOP his abusive act. This is against basic Human Rights.
Dear HINDRAF Supporters, refer below sample report. Lodge Police report URGENTLY in your own state throughout the country:
Police Report by:
Nama:
No K/p:
Alamat:
On the 8th April 2008 Mr.Uthayakumar who is a detainee held at the Kamunting Detention Centre under the draconian Internal security Act since 13th December 2008 was admitted to the Taiping Hospital for high blood sugar. Upon admission his blood sugar level was 18.8 ( normal being 6). His protein and uric acid level was also very high.
I now lodge this report against the Director of Prisons Kamunting and the Minister for Home Affairs for:
1) Deliberately and maliciously over more than a month denied diabetes medication to P.Uthayakumar.
2) Prematurely discharged Uthayakumar from Taiping Hospital despite knowing he was still ill, weak and needed medical attention
3) Exerting pressure ( I believe) on hospital doctors to discharge P.Uthayakumar despite knowing he was not fit to be discharged.
Upon examination the doctor who treated Uthayakumar believed that his heart muscles were damaged but needed an ECO cardiogram to confirm this. However due to severe lack of facilities at the Hospital, he was given 28th of March 2008 for the said tests.
Upon prematurely being discharged from hospital despite his glucose level at 13.5 he was again deliberately denied his medication for more than 20 hours. To make matters worse he was deliberately served diet with high sugar content despite his objections.
Mr.Uthayakumar complains of reduced vision in both eyes, weakness and discomfort heart. I am advised and belief he is suffering a silent heart attack as a result of his health condition.
I belief the Prison authorities are deliberately ignoring his medical needs and diet to accelerate/worsen his medical condition so that he would suffer severe health conditions.
The conduct of prison authorities are scandalous and I have lost confidence on them and the Home Minister.
I fear for the life, safety and health of Mr.Uthayakumar:
I earnestly believe that there is a silent agenda to "inflict" and cause serious harm upon Mr.Uthayakumar as diabetes are known to be silent killer.
I am willing to bear the cost of private medical treatment on Mr.Uthayakumar and urge the Prison authorities to immediately transfer him to the National Heart Institute without delay.
I would hold the Kamunting Prison Director and the Home Minister responsible should anything untoward happen to Mr.Uthayakumar.
I now make this report to urge the police to investigate the mysterious circumstances under which Mr.Uthayakumar was prematurely discharged from Taiping Hospital. This is the second time they had done the same to Mr.Uthayakumar.
Truly,
