I've lived in Klang all my life. In fact most people who know me, know that I'm fiercely proud of Klang.
I went to the same school as my father... La Salle Klang, and my sister went to the same school as my mother ... Convent Klang.
I'm a parishioner of the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes in Klang, it's right next to Convent Klang.
Behind my church is a Hindu Temple.
In fact, for Saturday evening mass, you can hear temple bells go off during the priest sermon. It's a bit difficult trying to concentrate when the sounds of bells go ringing, but my Hindu brothers probably feel the same about Church bells as well.
The section 23 folk seem to have an issue with a Hindu temple near their house. They feel it'll bring crime, they feel it'll bring traffic. Their intolerance is racist, and for those who dragged the cow head, I have nothing but pity for their deluded Anjing UMNO mentality.
My church is located in the heart of Klang. We live about 200 meters for a Malay man. He doesn't mind the church bells everyday , or the temple bells either. In fact he has helped our church in his own way.
He doesn't mind the church so near his house. The church was built in 1920s but I'm guessing his house was built before that.
You might say, well that's just one Malay guy, .....well it is just one Malay guy, but this guy is special. So special he has own title...it's called SULTAN.
Now the thing is, if the Sultan doesn't mind a Church and and a temple within 200 meters from his the Selangor Palace, where do these section 23 guys get off dragging a cow head to protest a simple temple 300 meters from their house?
About 700 meters up a hill from my church is the Gurdwara Sahib of Klang, and less than 100 meters from that another Hindu Temple.
Less than 100 meters from that we have the St. Barnabas Methodist Church (my church is a Caholic one).
And less than 100 meters from St. Barnabas we have Masjid India Klang...which used to be a small mosque, though it's not anymore. It's now a massive building sitting right at the Entrace of Jalan Tengku Kelana.
Masjid India is a private initiative , because it's patrons didn't 'masuk melayu'. They are both Indians and Hindus, and thus don't get their Mosques and Suraus built for free courtesy of the government.
These guys often say their ancestor were Muslims before Parameswara was born. In fact during Parameswara time, it was the Tamils that were the Muslims and the Malays were the Hindus...keep that in mind the next time you bring about the culture of Malaysia.
Masjid India sits at the entrance of what is known as little India. It's where people from all over Malaysia come to do their deepavali shopping. The shop lots sell more millions of dollars, and they're just 2-storey pre war buildings and all pre dominantly Hindu Indians.
Yet, they don't seem to have a problem with a Masjid India, or a Methodist Church, or a Catholic Church?
And if you really wanted to enjoy the diversity, 200 meters from the Masjid India is a Syariah court of Klang, barely 100 Meters from the Padang Sultan Suleiman which is near Masjid Diraja Sultan Suleiman which is opposite a Chinese School.
I could even tell you that 300 meters from my church across the Klang round-about is a Chinese temple with Chinese Operas being played on occasion.
Within this 2-square Kilometer of Klang, we have Churches, Temples, Mosques, Gurdwaras and even Palaces....yet no one has brought a cow head to protest.
Yet these people from Shah Alam, can't even tolerate one temple in their neighbourhood.
I guess Klang is a much better place to live in than Shah Alam. Section 23, the real-estate there should be pretty low right about now.....just about the same level as public perception of your racist infested bigoted community.
That's my 2 cents. Don't spend it all in one place.
