LTTE ideology still a threat: Ex-Malaysian IGP

The LTTE in Sri Lanka may have been defeated, but its ideology and sympathisers still exist around the world posing a threat, former Inspector-General of Malaysian Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan has said.

In an exclusive interview with Bernama News in Kuala Lumpur, Hassan said the LTTE's ideology and supporters still posed a threat to any country including Malaysia.

Musa said the threat of the LTTE should not be taken lightly as the United States and the United Nations listed them as a terrorist group and it was also banned in Malaysia and 32 other countries.

Bernama said Deputy Chief Minister II Dr P. Ramasamy of Malaysian State Penang had recently received barrage of criticisms over his alleged involvement with the LTTE. Ramasamy has denied this.

Mr. Minister, this situation really started prevailing in Sri Lanka after 2015 when YAHAPALANAYA Govt. took office that installed many LTTE leaders and sympathizers as Ministers.

As far as I can remember, MR has been made "Colonel" Karuna Minister although he was responsible for the murder of many policemen who had already surrendered.

GH get your facts right. It is MR who appointed LTTE leader - Karuna- as minister.

Malaysia- a true friend of SL

Sri Lanka should not allow to build ghettos anywhere in the country. Tamils love to be together and not to mix up with Sinhalese.

Thanks for the advise. A gentle reminder, the is a bigger threat to the world from the group of people who believe in an "invisible hand".

At least they are aware of the threat.. but sadly our guys are blind to it... what a set of stupid ingnorrent bunch of rulers we have currently

He is fool, he was unable to take action against Penang Ramasamy at his duty time,

S.P.Ramkumar Tuesday, 31 July 2018 10:58 PM

Using and create ethnical provocative in Sri Lanka by giving useless statements, Ramasamy is a Malaysian who told that he is not affected by LTTE, it means to get vote he used LTTE.

Autonomy Tuesday, 31 July 2018 11:06 PM

Any individual race religion,culture,ethnicity will have an ideology right up to the dooms day. The only way to get around it is to respect their ideology and give them room in the form of autonomy in their area. Suppression of such ideology can result in a war as we have seen in the past.

S.P.Ramkuamr Tuesday, 31 July 2018 11:07 PM

As a Sri Lankan Tamil from Vadamaratchi, I never think anyone in this world accept this useless former Malaysian Clown's statement,

Be realistic Tuesday, 31 July 2018 11:15 PM

Could you please elaborate what threat Malaysia faces with LTTE ideology. Sir you are talking non-sense. If Sri Lanka says so then its acceptable but not Malaysia or any other country. How much money have you got or getting from Sri Lankan govt or from Rajapaksa?

Dee Wednesday, 01 August 2018 02:36 PM

Now this is from a gentleman whose country and its authorities/politicians think and plan for future threats. Our clowns are only interested in their purse even if the country goes to dogs.
