PM’s empty, meaningless greetings

“In line with the spirit of togetherness in ushering in festive periods, the Prime Minister said Malaysians should respect one another's right to freely practise religious customs in their respective places of worship.”

This is what Bernama reported today on Abdullah’s Deepavali wishes to all Hindus.

Is the premier still living in Malaysia? Or does he just step into the country once in awhile?

Why do I ask these?

Two simple reasons:

1. Umno seems to ignore that Thursday is Deepavali, choosing to proceed with its AGM, thus showing utter disrespect for the third biggest population in the country.

2. I will just let this photo on the right talk - it shows Shah Alam City Council officers trying to get devotees away from the Shah Alam temple which was then demolished.
