Today at a meeting between the DAP lawyers and the 5 Hindraf ISA detainees held in Kamunting, it was decided that a trust fund is established and managed by the DAP Malaysia , Headquarters in KL. The primary purposes of the fund is to cover all legal expanses incurred in fighting to free the five - P. Uthayakumar,V. Ganabatirau, M.Manoharan, R.Kenghadharan, and T.Vasanthakumar – and those who have lost their jobs by reason of being charged at the Shah Alam Court( 31 persons) and other incidentals costs . Any balance in the fund would be used for the support of the families of the 5 detainees.
During our conversation with the detainees at Kamunting we were informed all 5 detainees are the main breadwinners of their respective families.
With their detention all 5 would suffer financial hardship because of their continued detention.
Concerned Malaysians can assist to lessen their financial burden by making monetary contribution of any amount within their means. Monies can be deposited directly into Maybank a/c 514178145866 in the name of Democratic Action Party. The fund would be managed by the DAP Headquarters in Kuala Lumpur.
We have also formed a support group for the families of the 5 at the Kamunting center. The support group is presently co-ordinate by Sdr. A. Sivasensan as all the 5 families are in Kuala Lumpur .
The DAP lawyers are all fully committed in the endeavor to get all the 5 released as soon as possible.
We - A. Sivanesan, Gobind Singh, K.A. Ramu and my self visited the 5 detainees at the Kamunting camp in Taiping.
All 5 detainees said they are not involved with the Tamil Tigers of Sri Lanka. All 5 have also never been to Sri Lanka and they have no connection what so ever with the Tamil Tiger organization.
Mr. P.Uthayakumar further told us that the authorities only publicly said HINDRA has connection with the Tamil Tigers about 12 days after the Nov 25 protest. The 5 said the charges against them are all false and fabricated and baseless.
Through out the country Indians are offering prayers in Temples for the release of the detainees. The 5 detainees have told us to inform the Malaysian public to continue these prayers and they are very grateful.
This ISA draconian law is unfair to the detainees because you are jailed without charge or trial.
Further the 2 year period can be renewed indefinitely.
All 5 will also suffer irreparable financial loss as a result of the unlawful detention and finally they are emotionally deprived because they are separated from their loved ones for a long period.

The Indians gave Samy Vellu RM100 million to invest and return the money with investment returns. Samy Vellu cheated the Indians of the money and used all of it for himself and passed the balance to his son.
His son is enjoying the Indians money.
What right has he got to pass peoples money to his son Vel Pari the drunkard rapist.
All shareholders of Maika should confront at the same time and make Vel Pari a bankrupt.
In all matters Samy has a upperhand. Implicate him and prove him to be a scoundrel and cheat.
