林冠英向神挥拳向天吐口水 扪心自问是否有无强拆庙宇

（吉隆坡8日讯）马华槟州妇女组主席陈清凉抨击槟州首长林冠英向神挥拳，向天吐口水，口口声声说槟州政府以民为本，谴责槟巫统乱拆宗教场所，但是自己却上梁不正下梁歪，一再的强拆庙宇，导致民怨再生。

她今天针对林冠英在州议会会议发表“若巫统重新执政槟州，将拆除兴都庙”威胁言论时表示，林冠英在发出有关威胁论的同时应该扪心自问自己是否可以清清白白的大声宣布槟州政府没有拆除任何一间庙宇也没有亏待任何一个宗教团体？

“槟州政府信誓旦旦的宣称不允许教育宗教保留地消失，但这4年来的所作所为，却叫人失望，槟市议会强行拆除槟城北海金山大伯公庙的举动就是最好的证明，林冠英善于演戏，借词推卸责任，非常可耻”。
她指出，除了槟城，其他由民联执政的州属，包括吉打，槟城及雪州，都曾发生拆除神庙和印度庙宇的事件，凡是民联州属都无一幸免。

“其中遭殃就包括槟州政府拆除了北海福德祠金山伯公庙；吉打，继拆除百大年花园兴都庙神龛后不久，又拆了位于峇甲三芭通往巴雅娜虎政府组屋大路旁的拿督公庙；在雪州，安邦再也市议会拆除区内的印度庙，导致约300名印度人在州政府大厦外展开和平纠察”。

她促请林冠英如果槟州政府想要一个以民为本的州政府，林冠英就必须在州政府内贯彻最基本公平公正原则，并信守承诺，不允许任何被列为学校、宗教场所、清真寺、祈祷室、基督教堂、神庙、兴都庙或佛寺的保留地消失。

Press statement by Wanita MCA Penang Chairman Sdri Tan Cheng Liang

Lim Guan Eng should ask himself whether Pakatan state governments are free from demolishing temples

Lim Guan Eng’s attempt at challenging the Heavens warrants criticism. He claims that the Penang State Government holds the state population’s best interest at heart and condemned Penang UMNO for demolishing religious sites. How hypocritical he is when local authorities in Pakatan-led state governments too have demolished temples, leading to grievances among the people.

The DAP Secretary General had remarked at the Penang state assembly - “If UMNO returns to power, all Hindu temples will be demolished.” Before Lim Guan Eng utters such a remark, he should ask himself boldly whether the Penang State Government has never demolished any temples and never has insulted any religious groups.

The Penang State Government had pledged to oppose any attempts to demolish religious sites. However in these 4 years, DAP has proven to be a disappointment to the people. The demolition of the Tua Pek Kong temple at Butterworth is the most significant example. It is really disgraceful of Lim Guan Eng to shirk his responsibilities and act out in the public’s eye instead.

Hindu shrines destroyed in other Pakatan-led states

In addition to Penang, other Pakatan states including Kedah, Penang and Selangor also had incidences where Hindu shrines were demolished. None will be spared as long as it is a Pakatan controlled state.

Besides Penang where the Tua Pek Kong temple in Butterworth was demolished, a Hindu shrine and a Chinese temple was also torn down in Sungai Petani, Kedah. In Selangor, a Hindu temple in Ampang was also demolished causing 300 Indians to stage a peaceful demonstration in front of the Selangor state government building.

I urge Lim Guan Eng that if Penang government wants a citizen-centric state government, he should implement fair and just rulings during the State Assembly to fulfill his promises. He must not allow any schools, religious sites, mosques, prayer rooms, Christian churches, Hindu or Buddhist temples to be torn down.
