Hindu temple in Rawang demolished at 3 am

The Hindu temple in Rawang Utchimalai Muniswaran Temple was demolished at 3 am today after the temple committee relocated the deities.

A Yayasan Kubra activist Ariff Omar confirmed this, reported Malaysiakini.

“I was informed that there was no provocation whatsoever last night because the temple committee had taken the action to relocate their deities.

“This was despite an earlier press conference held by the temple committee with (activist) Arun Dorasamy, where they refused to vacate the land.

“But alhamdulillah, I think this was the fruit of prayers by many, that the temple committee perhaps had given it much thought and finally decided to relocate.

“This means they have honoured their promise to vacate the land within 14 days, and for that I thank them for keeping their words,” he said.

There was a pre-planned demolition by activists scheduled at 5 pm today.
