TMI (from Bernama) - Man arrested for holding tribute ceremony for Tamil Tigers leader reported
A man was arrested while six others have been asked to surrender after a non-governmental organisation (NGO) they were said to belong to held a ceremony to mark Tamil Tigers chief V. Prabhakaran's birthday in Kulim, Kedah on Saturday.
Four years later almost to the day, on 21 September 2013, Zahid and his ministerial deputy Wan Junaidi, were asked to explain why the remains of two notorious Malaysian terrorists-bombers, namely Dr Azahari Husin and Nordin Mohamad Top, who were responsible for the deaths of hundreds of innocent people, were allowed to be repatriated to Malaysia and buried in their respective birthplaces, while Ong Boon Hwa wasn't despite being a signatory to the 1989 Haadyai Peace Treaty?
Both Zahid and Wan Junaidi retorted that was because the two terrorists had not spilled Malaysian blood.
If that's Zahid's rationale then what Hisham said about “What he did was wrong. We don’t condone what he did ..." was not spot on, because by permitting (not just that, but assisting their families to recover) the corpses of the two murderous terrorists for burial in Malaysia, on the explanation that they didn't spill Malaysian blood, it's akin to saying they were not terrorists like Ong Boon Hwa, and that the Malaysian government didn't view their murderous activities in Indonesia as unacceptable to Malaysia, unlike the killings of MCP, notwithstanding the by-now-viewed-as-useless-or-dishonoured 1989 Haadyai Peace Treaty between the Malaysian government and the MCP.
But then what about MCP leaders like, for example, Syed Hamid Ali and Shamsiah Faekah who were allowed back into Malaysia to settle down as Malaysian citizens?
I support the IGP's admonition of those in Kulim who attempted to conduct rites for a dead Tamil Tiger terrorist but on his/the same argument I expect the IGP to investigate his previous and current Home Affairs Ministers for condoning the repatriations of the bodies of terrorists Dr Azahari Husin and Noordin Top.
And shall I suppose their bodies managed to slip into Malaysia because the PDRM was looking for only ashes?

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar said the man, who was arrested in Kedah on Monday, was being investigated under Section 4 (1)(a) of the Sedition Act 1948 for allegedly inviting the public to attend the ceremony to pay tribute to the late Prabhakaran.
"What has this terrorist got to do with our country? Why try to invite people to glorify a terrorist?
"We see this as an act or attempt to influence or incite people to believe in terrorism."
I'm surprised Khalid Abu Bakar even has the time to comment on this incident when he and his men have been vigilantly busy at airports, seaports and other border entries to prevent the ashes of deceased Ong Boon Hwa (Chin Peng) from making a deadly ghostly terrorizing appearance in Sitiawan (Teluk Intan).
I wonder whether Khalid Abu Bakar was in Dreamland on 18 September 2009, or maybe just applying to join the PDRM when then-Home Affairs Minister Hishamuddin Hussein stated rather sorrowfully he was sad to hear about the death of Noordin Top, one of the most evil and notorious mass murderers-terrorist bombers in the world.
Noordin Top was a militant Islamist terrorist in the Jemaah Islamiyah, a banned terrorist organization in Indonesia, one who made bombs to kill and maim innocent people just to strike terror in independent Indonesia.
Hisham croaked wistfully: “What he did was wrong. We don’t condone what he did. I am sad that we did not get to rehabilitate him, like we have done with many others, including Jemaah Islamiah militants. I am sad because a life is a life.”
Huh? Did I hear “What he did was wrong. We don’t condone what he did ........"???

Now, wait a ding dong minute Hisham. Now, either you or your colleague, current-Home Affairs Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had been fibbing.
Four years later almost to the day, on 21 September 2013, Zahid and his ministerial deputy Wan Junaidi, were asked to explain why the remains of two notorious Malaysian terrorists-bombers, namely Dr Azahari Husin and Nordin Mohamad Top, who were responsible for the deaths of hundreds of innocent people, were allowed to be repatriated to Malaysia and buried in their respective birthplaces, while Ong Boon Hwa wasn't despite being a signatory to the 1989 Haadyai Peace Treaty?
