SPUR (Society for Peace, Unity and Human Rights for Sri Lanka Inc) have urged in an open letter to Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah bin Haji Ahmad Badawi, Ministers and the people of Malaysia to stop LTTE terrorists before they become a threat to the national security of Malaysia and the South East Asian Region.
The letter adds: “Malaysia stands as a strong nation State in the international community thanks to the indefatigable efforts of the farsighted national leaders. Malaysia was able to withstand internal as well as external challenges to its sovereignty and its territorial integrity as building a strong nation was the key policy platform of Malaysians.
The country was determined to defeat the fissiparous movements attempting to carve out ethnic enclaves and also groups which dependent on armed violence to derail Malaysia’s path to progress.Today, Sri Lankan political leaders as well the vast majority of the population are engaged in militarily defeating the LTTE.
Presently this group of terrorists have been restricted to a sliver of land. As you no doubt are aware, the LTTE is nurtured by funds collected in foreign countries as a section of the racist members of the Tamil Diaspora including some in Malaysia still dream of creating a separate country in Sri Lanka. According to racist Tamil historians it will be the first step in setting up a ‘Dravidasthan ‘, in this case including some parts of present Malaysian territory and Tamilnadu in India.
Malaysia unfortunately has been a centre for fund collection for the LTTE through the World Tamil Movement and some of the very active pro-LTTE academics including a senior professor in a well-known Malaysian university.
