Zahid Hamidi kata itulah harga perlu dibayar Rayer kerana mulut celupar...

Kepala lembu diletak di depan rumah Rayer...

Satu kepala lembu ditemui di hadapan rumah ADUN DAP Seri Delima, RSN Rayer di Jalan Tingkat Tembaga, Island Park pagi ini.

Rayer berkata ia ditemui isterinya ketika hendak menghantar anak perempuan mereka ke sekolah pada kira-kira jam 7 pagi.

Selepas diberitahu isterinya mengenai perkara itu, Ryer berkata beliau turun ke bawah dan ternampak kepala lembu itu di pintu pagar depan rumahnya. Saksikan video.

"Kami tidak tahu siapa yang melakukannya dan mengapa. Kita tidak mahu membuat spekulasi," katanya ketika dihubungi Malaysiakini.

"Bagaimanapun, pemilik kedai di depan rumah saya melihat kejadian itu, dan berkata seorang lelaki datang dengan menaiki motosikal dan melemparkannya ke sana," katanya.

Dengan jam 9 pagi, polis mengawal kawasan rumah berkembar Rayer itu dan mengambil kepala lembu itu untuk siasatan.

Rayer berkata polis juga merekodkan kenyataan beliau dan mengambil salinan rakaman CCTV.

"Rakaman itu menunjukkan lelaki yang tidak dikenali datang pada jam 5.58 pagi, dia memakai topi keledar dan (mukanya) ditutup sepenuhnya. Selepas dia melakukan perbuatan itu, dia menari," kata Rayer, sambil menunjukkan kepada pemberita klip CCTV itu.

"Adalah sukar untuk mengenal pastinya," katanya.

"Saya dan isteri saya terkejut melihat kepala lembu itu. Kami merasakan ia satu ancaman dan penghinaan kepada keluarga kami," katanya.

Rayer sebelum ini menimbulkan kontroversi apabila melabelkan pemimpin Umno sebagai 'celaka' dalam sidang Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Pulau Pinang bulan lepas.

Ketua Menteri Lim Guan Eng, yang tiba di tempat kejadian pada jam 9.15 pagi berkata beliau terkejut dengan kejadian itu.

"Pelaku itu menghina seluruh masyarakat, bukan sahaja Rayer. Ini merupakan tindakan biadap dan ancaman kepada keselamatan negara," katanya.

Lim teringat kumpulan pro-Umno melakukan perbuatan yang sama di hadapan pejabat sekretariat Selangor di Shah Alam pada tahun 2009.

"Saya tidak menuduh kumpulan pro-Umno atas kejadian ini, tetapi mereka telah melakukan sesuatu yang sama pada tahun 2009, yang menghina masyarakat Hindu," kata Lim.- mk

Gerakan slams Zahid for condoning cow-head attack...

Gerakan has hit out at Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi for failing to appreciate the sensitivities of Hindus in saying the cow's head attack on Seri Delima rep this morning was deserved.

The party's legal and human rights bureau chief Baljit Singh said that as home minister, Zahid should cultivate peace and harmony instead of encouraging violence.

He reminded Zahid (left) that the victim, RSN Rayer is a practising Hindu like himself (Baljit) and such acts are not only insensitive but mischievous, especially when it is done a day before the Muslim's fasting month.

"The incident touches on religious sensitivities of Hindus. The home minister should be more responsible," Baljit told Malaysiakini.

"He should not be encouraging such animosity between people of different faiths, especially when it is only a day before the fasting month begins," Baljit added.

Baljit (right) was referring to Zahid commenting the act of vandalism at Rayer's home was the "price" the DAP lawmaker had to pay for uttering the words "Umno celaka" at the Penang legislative assembly last month.

Quoted by The Rakyat Post, Zahid said Rayer should realise that his remarks had angered the public.

"As a politician, I sympathise with him. But that is the price he has to pay for being foul-mouthed," Ahmad had said during a press conference after launching the Certified Security Guards end of training programme at the police academy.

A 'celaka' act

"Instead of calling for so many press conferences, please get your men to do their job, arrest the culprit for doing this despicable act," Baljit said.

He described the individual who did this as indeed "celaka" (damned).

"This individual whom I just called 'celaka' can make a police report on me saying I am seditious," Baljit said, rather furiously.

"It is simply not nice to put such anxiety in Rayer's home and family," he added.

"We may have different political affiliations but there must be some limits that we should not cross," he said.

Rayer's remarks landed in trouble with pro-Umno groups who wanted him to apologise and retract his remark for allegedly insulting the Malays and Islam.

Their anger led to a group of 16 barging into the Penang legislative assembly on May 21, looking for Rayer.

Fifteen were charged in the Magistrate’s Court last week for trespassing, while Rayer who was supposed to be charged for sedition, had his case postponed indefinitely ordered by the Attorney-General's Chambers.

Rayer denied insulting Malays and Islam, saying he merely directed the words at three Umno leaders who attended a rally in Seberang Jaya in January, where banners blaming DAP for the May 13 racial riots were displayed. - mk
