On 24<\/span><\/span><\/span>th<\/span><\/span><\/sup><\/span> October, a<\/span><\/span><\/span> group of people representing 4 different <\/span><\/span><\/span>organizations<\/span><\/span><\/span> went to the\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>Indian High Commission<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0to hand over a memorandum which expresses our disagreement with Indian governments\u2019 treatment of the Kudankulam campaigners and the building of nuclear power plant that could risk the life of 1 million <\/span><\/span><\/span>people in the area<\/span><\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Of the groups which present and signed the memorandum with <\/span><\/span><\/span>Tamil Solidarity Malaysia are Malaysian Peoples Party (PRM), local University Student Group (KAMI) and Youth Wing of Peoples Party.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Our demands were addressed to Indian High Commissioner of Malaysia are as follows:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Stop commissioning of the Kudankulam nuclear plant immediately\u00a0\u2022 Stop police brutality against the Kudankulam fighters and restore the democratic right to dissent & protest\u00a0\u2022 An immediate halt to all existing and future nuclear power projects.\u2022 We demand massive public investment into renewable energy projects that are sustainable and environmentally friendly\u2022 An independent people\u2019s inquiry into the health effects created by the nuclear power projects & proper relief and rehabilitation for those affected by nuclear power plants.\u2022 A complete review of the Indian official secrets act under which the Nuclear insanity is being perpetuated\u2022 A referendum of the people of Kudankulam and surrounding districts to decide on the future of the Nuclear Project there.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

One the occasion, we decided to form an alliance to further our anti-nuclear campaign and to organize grassroots\u2019 resistance in Malaysia in the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>Malaysia is also planning to build 7 nuclear power plants throughout our peninsula by 2025<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong>. There is a need to form an alliance such as this to raise consciousness about environmental and radioactive issues among the local activists. The platform of\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>Malaysian Anti-Nuclear Alliance\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong>is currently being led by Tamil Solidarity Malaysia and PRM and is hoping for a growing participation from other green activist groups.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
