PUTRAJAYA: Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) leaders can fight their cause within the country instead of seeking overseas support, said Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar.
Stating that getting outsiders involved in their “fight” was not a good move, he added that foreigners had no right to interfere in Malaysian affairs.
“It is therefore our responsibility to protect our home. Don't invite outsiders to protect us or fight on our behalf,” he told reporters here yesterday after launching Wisma Putra's time capsule to mark the ministry's 50th anniversary.
When asked to comment on Hindraf's intention to present their petition directly to Buckingham Palace in London, Syed Hamid wished them good luck.
The time capsule to be opened in December 2057 and placed at the ministry's lobby, contained Syed Hamid's letter to the future Foreign Minister, a copy of the book No. 1 Wisma Putra, two copies of the Wisma Putra @ 50 magazine and name cards of Wisma Putra staff.
Syed Hamid revealed that he wrote on bilateral relations, international issues and problems.
He also related his experience working under two prime ministers – Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
