“A century-old Hindu temple was demolished and a heritage tree was destroyed to make way for a miserable motorcycle park in Alor Setar” lamented Prof Dr P.Ramasamy.
“The place where Sri Madurai Veeran temple was located and destroyed recently by the Alor Setar City Council has been turned into a motorcycle park opposite the railway station. I thought that the temple was demolished to make way for the expansion of the road since it was said that it was located on a road reserve. I don’t understand why a majestic tree, hundreds of years old, had to to be cut down too for a miserable motorcycle park” Ramasamy commented on his Facebook page.
“Creating a motorcycle park on a road reserve itself is an illegal act of the Alor Setar City Council. So much for religious tolerance in the PAS-led state government in Kedah” Ramasamy further noted.
