Hindraf: Where's the donation money ?

Hindraf activist V Ganabatirau has accused the outlawed movement's leader P Waythamoorthy of using millions of ringgit collected from the people for his personal use while in self-imposed exile in London.
He said funds collected by the movement for the Hindraf 5 who were detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA) from December 2007, never reached them or their families.
"Initially funds were collected by highlighting the suffering of the so- called Hindraf 5. From Dec 13, 2007, the focus was changed to highlighting the suffering of our family members. The total collected runs into millions of ringgit," he said when asked to comment on the funds.
"My family did not receive a single sen. When questioned, Waythamoorthy,the de facto head, claimed that the funds were meant for a civil suit that was to be filed against the British government."
But the suit expired as civil matters must be pursed within three months after being filed.
"I believe that the suit was deliberately allowed to expire so that he could enjoy his exile and the good life in London.
"All our hopes vanished with Waythamoorthy when he did not pursue the suit.
"The public had high hopes. We only wanted the plight of poor and marginalised Indians here to be exposed. Not for the money," said Ganabatirau (right).
Wayathamoorthy had last week claimed in an interview with Malaysiakini that the suit was foiled by the Malaysian government and police.
But Ganabatirau rubbished the reasoning, saying that this could "never be accepted".
"Why should he go for a pilgrimage to India on Nov 27, 2007?" Ganabatirau asked, recalling the events that led the detention of five Hindraf leaders in Kamunting under the ISA.
According to Ganabatirau, Waythamoorthy personally assured him that the suit would be filed.
The former lawyer also denied that Waythamoorthy was the movement's treasurer.
In fact, Hindraf was registered as an business enterprise and as such, there was no need for a treasurer, he said
Ganabatirau also said the rift in Hindraf began after the suit failed to materialise.
"Uthayakumar accused me of being a Special Branch (SB) agent because I raised the issue about the suit," he said when asked to comment on allegations that he was a government spy.

tunku : i pity the indians who believes that hindraf is their future and will stand for them in bad times. waytha together with uthaya had fooled the indians.waytha enjoying life in uk , gets the best medical treatment there while many poor indians here had to suffer. i pledge to the indian community in malaysia to get rid of hindraf which brings more harms/disadvantages to the community. hindraf had learned it from pas where the money collected through donation is not for the people but for the movement heads to spend and enjoy it.what are hindraf contributions to the community? they can't even do anything for the kampung buah pala's residents though the state government controlled by their partners.
