00:00Before watching the video, I would like to remind you that there is more content on the HOTSPOT website.

00:04In the past few days, there was a 130-year-old Indian temple dedicated to Sripat Lakhariyaman,

00:10the goddess of India, near the Qingzhen Temple in Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur, India.

00:14It was forced to move, and the original site would be covered by the Qingzhen Temple.

00:17This caused a strong dissatisfaction in the Indian society.

00:19In fact, they even opened fire on the Kuala Lumpur Municipal Administration and related land developers.

00:24In other words, the Indian temple that existed long before the independence of Myanmar

00:28was actually moved to this address under the instructions of the Kuala Lumpur Municipal Administration in 2008.

00:33But the dispute is that the Indian temple committee complained to the Municipal Administration

00:37that in 2014, and when the temple did not know at all,

00:41the entire area including the Indian temple land was sold to a private developer.

00:47Then, from 2016, the government and that private developer tried many times to move the 100-year-old Indian temple.

00:55However, the temple did not agree and has been negotiating with the government and the Kuala Lumpur Municipal Administration

00:59until now, ten years later.

01:01And earlier, the Indian temple said that they received a notice that

01:04it was equivalent to forcing them to move, or even to remove the original site.

01:09The government planned to hold a land movement ceremony

01:13at the original site of this Indian temple next Wednesday, March 27,

01:16to build a new Qingzhen Temple.

01:19The notice mentioned that the new Qingzhen Temple plan was named Changning Qingzhen Temple.

01:24It is said that the day will also invite Prime Minister Anhua to host the land movement ceremony.

01:28So, the 100-year-old Indian temple was forcibly demolished and moved.

01:31Is there no way back?

01:33Today, the Indian temple committee held a press conference with human rights lawyers

01:37to ask the government to pay attention and save this crisis.

01:40Former Chairman of the Lawyers' Association, Amit Jha, said that

01:42this Indian temple has a history of 100 years.

01:44Compared with existing developers, it appeared earlier in that area.

01:48He questioned that when the government sold the land to the developers,

01:52they did not inform the temple.

01:54Is this reasonable?

01:55And when the developers bought the land,

01:57they should also know that there is an Indian temple there.

01:59Even legally, the developers must admit that

02:03the temple has a right to this land.

02:06At the same press conference,

02:08the Indian temple committee chairman, Raz Mohanty, complained that

02:12the government has repeatedly forced the temple to move since 2016,

02:16and even sent the municipal government officials to negotiate

02:19and suggest that the temple be moved elsewhere.

02:22But the problem is that the temple previously said that

02:24the government's new land area is only half of the current temple,

02:28and the location is too far away.

02:30It is not suitable for building a temple at all.

02:32In addition, the temple was informed that

02:34this place now needs to be used to build a new Jinzhen Temple.

02:37This is very unfair to the Indian community and the Indian believers,

02:41and will erase the identity recognition of the multi-ethnic community.

02:45In addition to this press conference,

02:47the Kuala Lumpur Municipal Government also explained in a statement this morning

02:50that some people questioned that it was because the Kuala Lumpur Municipal Government

02:53did not deal with the issue of the rights of the developers and the Indian temple land

02:57that led to today's situation.

03:00The Kuala Lumpur Municipal Government emphasized in their statement

03:03that it was not the government's plan to build a new Jinzhen Temple

03:07in the original place of the Indian temple for a hundred years,

03:09but the developers who legally owned the land, their idea.

03:12It sounds like DBKL seems to want to give the ball to the developers

03:16and say that they want to build a new Jinzhen Temple.

03:18This has nothing to do with the government.

03:20This is the statement in this article.

03:22To this day, the mayor of Kuala Lumpur,

03:24Maimunah, still personally visits the controversial Indian temple.

03:28When he was interviewed, he promised that

03:30the hundred-year-old Indian temple would not undertake any demolition work

03:33and would operate normally until the relocation was completed.

03:36DBKL guarantees that every measure they take

03:40is in accordance with the religious freedom principles guaranteed by the Federal Constitution.

03:44And this promise is not just what the mayor said.

03:47Maimunah also wrote it down in black and white

03:50and handed the letter of commitment to the temple.

03:53Immediately after the Kuala Lumpur Municipal Government,

03:55the developers who owned the land,

03:57DBKL, also came forward to guarantee

03:59that they would not forcibly demolish the hundred-year-old Indian temple.

04:02The promise will continue to negotiate with the temple to solve the problem

04:05and wait for all the problems to be solved.

04:07And after the Indian temple moved to the new location agreed by the temple,

04:11they started to work on the site.

04:14So they didn't want to forcibly demolish the Indian temple.

04:17They said it was never a problem.

04:19And later, the Best Development also confirmed that

04:21they would indeed hold a cemetery in the local area next Thursday.

04:26But they clarified that this was just a symbolic ceremony.

04:29Only after the Indian temple is moved,

04:32they will start to build the Qingzhen Temple

04:35to fulfill the group founder's last wish.
