Another cow story





-->
Another cow story happened in Malaysia. No, this is not another cow-head chronicle that occurred last year. Just to refresh your memory, the cow-head chronicle I am referring to is that incident when a few Malays took a cow head to the Selangor State Secretariat to protest against the plan to build an Indian temple near their residential area.

This time, it is a different story, about cows and nature, and hypocrisy. Let’s talk about the cows and nature first. In the early morning of Monday September 6, 2010, at Sepang, lightening struck at a group of cows grazing under an oil palm tree killing seven of them. Farmer, Kanapiraan, to whom the cows belonged to, dejectedly said that he had planned to sell the cows for the Hari Raya celebrations and that they could have fetched him some RM15, 000.

Well, Kanapiraan is an Indian and he is selling the cows to the Malays for their festivity. No, I am not talking about racial harmony, 1Malaysia or anything of that sort. I wish I am, though. But I am sure 1Malaysia was not entirely on Kanapiraan’s mind when he wanted to sell the cattle to his Muslim friends. Most likely it’s that RM15, 000. Ha! Ha! Sorry about that, dear PM. I know 1Malaysia is very close to your heart.

Now, we know that Indians of the Hindu religion don’t consume cows because cows are sacred to them and all that. But is it okay for them to nurture the cows and sell them to others for slaughter and consumption? This issue has been bothering me for a long time. I am sorry, but this seems close to hypocrisy to me.

Moving away from that issue of hypocrisy, it was said that Kanapiraan later lodged a report at the police station, regarding the death of his cows, at Tanjung Sepat. Well, are the police going to arrest the lightening or what? Let’s have a few more guesses for what the report was for.

1. It was for insurance claim.
2. It was to make it clear that he did not kill the cows.
3. It was in the hope that the police will prevent future lightening deaths of cows.
4. It was to keep the report as a remembrance of the tragedy.

Ha ha! Any more guesses?
