JOHOR BARU: The Government has labelled as “very threatening” the recent action by Hindraf members at the open house hosted by the prime minister, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar.
He said the Government would, however, study public feedback on the matter before responding to calls for the Hindu Rights Action Force to be banned.
He said the group’s actions at the recent Hari Raya open house at the Putra World Trade Centre in Kuala Lumpur could easily have become a danger to public order if the situation had erupted or if one of the members had been carrying something dangerous.
“Security cannot be taken for granted and we are worried about the prospect of other open houses being ambushed in this way.
“We are getting feedback before we decide on the next course of action,” Syed Hamid told The Star.
He declined to reveal what measures, if any, would be taken against the group or how long the Government would collect such feedback.
Syed Hamid, however, pointed out that the Government’s decision would not rest solely on the latest incident, but would encompass all that had transpired in the past with Hindraf.
“We can’t just react to one incident or action and there is no such thing as Hindraf as it is an unlawful society. It is not registered,” he said.

Dear JR
We must learn from this lesson.
As for HINDRAF they want cheap publicity. As it a festive season hari raya, it is time to make goodwill visits. So what happen if this coming Devapali, if the same treatment or disturbance happen at their homes or depavali gathering. What a shame as a malaysian or Hindraf may be they are not Malaysian and they can do anything like monkeys.
We make this comment shortlah, BAN HINDRAF AND PUT THEM UNDER ISA OR CHARGED THEM IN COURT FOR CAUSING PUBLIC NUISANCE.
