Just got back, here’s the situation when i left. (I have photos of all described below, and will upload as soon as i can).

By about noon: The surau was demolished in a most sacreligious and offensive manner. I was told that the JAIS (Selangor Religious Department) had some protestors arrested for calling the invaders kafirs :|

During lunch, the MPAJ happily had their lunch inside the few shelters still standing in the kampung. After they had eaten nicely, the proceeded to tear down those same structures - including the ones some of us helped put up on Sunday.

MPAJ also started carting away belongings - furniture, appliances, anything that was of any value. Just loaded them up unto trucks like common thieves. MPAJ office short on supplies and furniture issit?

After that, they proceeded to tear down the better set-up tents, which were put up over cement. They just carted everything out, tore off the tarpaulin covers, and then brought in their mighty back hoe.

There was one incident where in an act of defiance, a few girls refused to get off their mattress, even as their cloth roof had been torn up and the few planks acting as walls destroyed. Even with the huge ass back hoe looming over them, the girls did not move and MPAJ officers had to drag the mattress out - in a most biadap manner, might I add.

While they continued to wipe out any semblence of structure, there was one incident in which a villager overreacted and tried to launch himself into the back hoe cab to harass the driver - of course the police dragged him down, and the situation nearly escalated, but supporters managed to calm the situation down.

The MPAJ also made clear their intent to destroy all 3 access roads into the kampung, which would make the place virtually inaccessible. When I left, they hadn’t started work on this yet, but they were already towing cars out of the ‘parking lot.’

These were horrible things to witness. That simple families should experience such destruction is tragic; that it should be inflicted upon them by people who live in comfort and luxury is a most heinous injustice.

Wait for the documentation - it’s guaranteed to shock. For now, try malaysiakini.tv, tvpas.com and this article. I’ll start pointing to the rest soon.
