UPDATED
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 7 — Bowing to public pressure, the government is expected to charge the cow head protestors under the Sedition Act and for illegal assembly.
The Attorney-General Tan Sri Gani Patail confirmed the charges today.
The protestors are likely to be charged tomorrow in Shah Alam.
A group of more than 50 people said to be residents of Section 23 in Shah Alam had protested recently in front of the state secretariat against the proposed relocation of a Hindu temple to their neighbourhood.
The Malay-Muslim protestors had threatened bloodshed, and stamped on and spat at a severed cow head, in a highly provocative gesture because the animal is considered sacred by Hindus.
Gani said today that most of the protestors will be charged for illegal assembly.
But those who uttered the provocative words and steeped on the cow’s head will be charged for sedition.
“I have decided to charge those who carried and spoke while stepping on the cow head under Sect 4 (1) of the Sedition Act alternatively Section 298 of the Penal Code.
“They as well the other demonstrators will also face another charge under section 27 (5) of the Police Act for illegal assembly,” Gani said in the press statement today.
He said that the police had submitted their investigation papers to him today and he was satisfied there was enough evidence to charge the cow head protestors.
The provocative manner of the protest continued last Saturday, when some residents caused a commotion at a town hall meeting with them, by shouting and heckling at the mentri besar and other state lawmakers until the dialogue was called off.
The state government announced today they had found an alternative site for the temple, just a few hundred metres away from the originally proposed location.

I sympathize with our Malaysian Indians who had stood side by side with Malay, Chinese and other races to fight and gain independence together. But today - our indian friends are treated like pariah. If we do not stop this bullying, bigotry and racism - I am afraid we will sooner be pushing our indian brothers and sisters into a corner........ and no one - will want to remain in a corner ....... stop this and let us live peacefully

Congratulations. This is the start of a one small step in the right direction towards a civil society. Malaysia must move away from one set of rules for the majority and another set for the minority. Inequality breeds discontent. While we can accept special rights as provided in the Constitution, there must be zero tolerance for any criminal act. Well done. Keep it up.

Will they be sentence into prison from the front door and release out the back door? Did the PDRM investigate the master mind or Khir Toyo? Have anybody heard the song Bodoh macam Yo Yo?
After they are release, we can predict lots of vandalism by the same people!

Alamak!!! The Royal Police ONLY charge these pathetic ppl because of the pressure from the public? Giving me an impression that the police is only acting because of PRESSURE from the public? Isn't it the police should act if law is break regardless of what and who you are?

Looks like BN is desperado now, damn if you do and damn if you don't. By the way, this is just a drama from Gani Patail, IGP and Kerismuddin. By election is getting nearer, they need the support of all the Indians. Why does it take so long to charge those hooligans unless AG has been pressured to do so.

Kepada 23 orang seksyen 23 dab NGO Pewaris,
Bla ugama lain letak kereta di tepi jalan, mereka lah yang menyebabkan lalu lintas sesak tapi bila setaip sembahyang Jumaat yang wajib, saya rasa TUHAN suruh umat nya menunaikan sembahayang Jumaat dengan tidak meletak kereta di tengah jalan dengan sewenang-wenag nya.
Ini bleh dilihat di mana mana masjid, tapi rakyat Malaysia yang berilmu pengetahuan tinggi menerima suasana ini sebagai tanda respect ugama orang muslim. Saya pernah kena perangkap dalam suasana begini selama 45 minit, tapi saya tunggu secara sabar, saya masih ingat aktikel Marina Mahathir tentang parking kerata di betul betul tengah jalan hingga jalan 100% berhenti.
Kenapa orang berugama lain boleh bertolerensi dengan orang muslim tapi sebalik orang muslim membully ugama lain dengan menghasut ugama lain. Lebih lebih lagi tanah di seksyen 19, tanah lapang sudah diambl ole pihak PEWARIS, jadi orang Hindu yang sembahyang di situ trepaksa parking kereta di tepi jalan, kenapa PEWARI hendak memberi susah pada kumpulan orang minoriti???? Tepuk dada tanya sendidiri, Tuhan itu maha kasih dan penayang.

Because of delays in prosecuting those involved, look what happend at the dialog session held on Saturday - the protested strikes again.
Its about time that this bunch of hooligans be sentenced the maximum jail term by the judge to lock them up from causing further damages to our racial unity.

Well, at long last, some action is being taken.
Now let's see what'll happen in court - much will depend on the DPP and the Judge hearing the cases.
And please don't turn the trial into a mockery ( ie. just for show only)..such as having an inexperienced or someone incompetent to prosecute, resulting in ..(case dismissed / acquited ?)
The world is watching, mind you.

What took them so long to decide whether to charge or not to charge?!! Video taken clearly show what and who have been involved and what they have said. Even our "beloved" Hishamudin visited them.
Did Hishamudin visited the "poor lady" who was detained under ISA just because she was "allegedly" complainted about the "noise" from the loud speaker of a mosque? I have full respect to all religions, especially to the Muslim. But I am very sure the Quran didn't teach these bastards to cut a live cow head and walk around as if as they are ALLAH!!!

He has been all along protecting these hooligans to the extent of abusing his authority as home minister in broad-daylight manner, I really have little confidence in this muddle-head!

"Whoever, with deliberate intention of wounding the religious feelings of any person, utters any word or makes any sound in the hearing of that person, or makes any gesture in the sight of that person, or places any object in the sight of that person, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to one year, or with fine, or with both."
sedition act is too vague but good way for them to escape with a slap on the wrist at the end of the day

May God have mercy on their souls. lesson of life is "what goes around, comes around". with that in mind I wish to say that if you believe that what you did was wright because it is in the cause of your religion, than I all I can say is may god bless you because what a naive human being you are. Thank god my religion not only said that you must love human beings but all all other living creatures. If ones religion (muslim) say that everthing in this world is created by God than who are you to question the existing of the others. Unless these morons think they are superior than the God. The All Mighty must have a reason to created the world the way it is and the living beings in it, but only .........greedy and power crazy pea size brain moron that had made this world with full of Hatred and viollence.
I saw a documentry where in a village in India, the head of the village was a muslim, during a hindu festival the head of the village has perform some ritual in the temple. When the reporter asked him can he as a muslim do that. The great leader said " I am a muslim to myself, but I am a leader to my people, by not doing this it does make me a better muslim but will make me a lousy leader". Maybe in another 50 years to come we might find a leader like that in this land. God Bless Malaysia.

Good step in the right direction BUT more is needed. - The protesting act and the manner in which was carried out is not the MAIN ISSUE. - The main issue is MENTALITY of the rakyat. Malaysian's must push for change. Mindset must change. Enough of BN dividing the races and ruling. Enough of race based politics. This is not healthy for a multicultural country. Bring back the day when Malays, Chinese and Indian school children can all sit together in a school canteen and eat together. Very simple scenario but speaks a thousand words!!

On charging them, until they are brought to court to face charges and each one charged with maximum fine or jailed, only then will I believe that Najib's 1Malaysia is a reality. Until then, this is just a "sandiwara" before the Bagan Pinang by-election to show how fair and just are the BN gov.

Hellooooo! Why can't we all be consistent?
Shouldn't PR be jumping up and down saying that the use of Sedition Laws are inconsistent with one's right to free speech? They should be lambasting the AG for using such draconian laws on these poor residents who is just expressing their anger!
On the record I don't agree with what was done by the protestors by bringing a cow's head into the issue, but what I don't agree is PR not standing firm on one set of principles!
If you are against Sedition Laws, then PR should state so irregardless the circumstances. If you could cherry pick which laws apply to whom, I would be worried if PR ever becomes the Federal Government.

What i don't understand is why the police and the AG always have to wait for instructions and green light from the home ministry before acting on anything? Ridiculous.

I don't think the Malaysian Indians know how powerful they are now. They are the swing vote. If the Chinese in Penang want to stay in power, they need the Indians. If Pakatan/PAS need to win an election, they need the Indians. If the BN needs to stay in power, they need the Indians.
It has come to pass, with the last by-election. If the Malaysian Indians, don't know it yet, here is the proof. There is no way in hell the Govt. would have prosecuted these Malay hooligans. Unless they have finally figured how important the Indians are to their own survival.
I know the Chinese haven't figured this out yet. The way they treat the Indians in Penang, they definitely haven't figured it out yet. If DAP continues to push the Indians into the ocean, they won't be in power too long. It will be back to the same old back bencher DAP!
But I hope the Indians use this new found power judiciously. Hope they can use it for the betterment of all Malaysians!
Who said there is no power with the minority! Indians have become the swing vote in Malaysian politics. I say it is about time, huh? Time to kick Samy Vellu down the street. Indians really don't need him anymore.
