The Malaysian Government has banned the illegal organization Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) as it poses a threat to national security.
Hindraf had actively exploited the Indian community to organize illegal assemblies and street demonstrations without permits that causing a large section of the ethnic Indians to rise up against the government and also hatred among the Malays and Indians in the country.
Home Minister Syed Hamid Albar said in a statement that the government decided to declare Hindraf illegal after the ministry was satisfied with facts and evidence that showed Hindraf was being used for unlawful purposes and posed a threat to public order and morality.
He said the government move followed the result of monitoring and investigations by the country's Registrar of Societies (ROS) since Hindraf was formed.
"As a result of the investigations, the Home Ministry, as per its authority under sections 3 and 5 of the Societies Act 1966, has declared Hindraf unlawful and detrimental to peace, public order, security and the moral values of Malaysia."
