KULIM: 120 years Hindu temple in Mahang were desecrated just three days after Penang saw a fourth temple in the state vandalised.
The temples, which are believed to be more than 100 years old, are located about 4km apart.
The caretaker of the Sri Maha Muthumariamman temple in Mahang found that a 0.9m-high statue of a deity had been removed from its original spot and smashed.
The incident happened at about 9am on Tuesday.
It is believed that the culprits had entered the temple premises through an unlocked gate.
The second incident at the Suba Sri Sakthi Kanagavalli Temple in Tong Hurst Estate, Selama, was discovered by the temple caretaker at about noon on the same day.
The caretaker found that the wooden door leading to the main hall of the temple was open and two statues were broken.
It is learnt that the statues were of the main deities there.
Jewellery kept beneath the statues at both temples was also missing.
Kulim Deputy District Police Chief DSP Barudin Wariso said both cases would be investigated under Section 457 of the Penal Code for break-in and theft.
Two suspects have been detained to assist in the investigation of both cases.
In the past two months, four Hindu temples in Penang have been vandalised.
The Sri Dharma Muniswarar Temple and the Muthu Mariamman Temple in Seberang Prai were vandalised last month.
On the island, the Dewa Sri Mathuraiveeran Temple in Kampung Sungai Nibong Kecil, Bayan Baru, also suffered the same fate early this month.
The latest case of vandalism occurred on Sunday at the Sri Muneeswarar Temple in Jalan Tengku Kudin, where three statues of deities were smashed.

GEORGE TOWN: The suspect wanted for the brutal killing of four family members in Batu Maung near here on Wednesday was shot dead about 7.05pm today.
The suspect, identified as Chung Chun Wah, 32, was shot in front of a souvenir shop near the Kek Lok Si Temple during an exchange of fire with police after he was cornered.
Penang CID chief, Datuk Razarudin Husain said acting on a tip-off, a police patrol car noticed the suspect behaving suspiciously in a parked car.
When they approached the suspect, he opened fire.
He was later shot dead following the shoot-out with about 15 policemen who arrived at the scene. He was killed on the spot.
Razarudin said police recovered a 9mm semi-automatic at the scene which they believed was the same weapon he used to kill the family members.
"We found the suspect's identification card on him and with this we consider this case solved," he said.
The suspect was wanted for killing Toh Hock Choon, 50, his wife Tan Saw Sim, 55, their stepson Chung Wah Tong, 28, and the latter's son, identified only as Ah Bee.
Police, who received a report at 2.55am on Wednesday, found 11 bullet casings at the scene and based on a CCTV recording, all the victims were shot at close range.
Razarudin said the suspect is believed to have entered into an argument with the family when they refused to give him money for drugs.
The man, believed to be high on drugs, later returned with the 9mm semi-automatic pistol and fired 11 shots at the victims before fleeing in a Toyota Hilux belonging to Toh. The vehicle was later found abandoned at Kampung Baru, Bukit Mertajam.
"Toh was shot in the arms, hands, face and chest. We believe that he was either sitting or kneeling when he was shot," said Razaruddin.
Workers at the nearby poultry processing plant, which the victims owned, notified the police after hearing noise from the house made from converted cargo containers.
According to Razaruddin, the suspect has several past records involving drugs and weapons possession and used to sell chicken at the Air Itam market.

GEORGE TOWN: The national opposition is sensing a snap election after Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng was charged with graft and abuse of power last Thursday at the Penang High Court.
This feeling was picked up by speakers during a ceramah at the Dewan Sri Pinang today with most alluding to an early 14th General Election.
Deputy Chief Minister II P. Ramasamy started the ball rolling when he said morale was high among the Barisan Nasional (BN) federal government following victories in the Sarawak state election and the Sungai Besar and Kuala Kangasr by-elections.
"The people will decide in the next general election, I feel Penang will remain with Pakatan Harapan (PH)," he said as more than a thousand strong crowd cheered at the Dewan Sri Pinang today.
Deputy Chief Minister I Datuk Rashid Hasnon also did not miss a beat when he forecast PH winning 80% of the Penang votes if the election was called.
"We won 52% of the popular vote in 2013," he noted while Parliamentary Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail urged PH supporters to go to the ground to win the fence sitters.
"We can talk to the converted but we need to convince the others," the PKR president said.
Parit Buntar MP and Penang Amanah chairman Datuk Mujahid Yusof Rawa meanwhile got the crowd roaring in agreement after noting Lim still commanded the support of the public despite facing graft accusations.
"I have seen many who have been charged with corruption and abuse of power and not one of them have been able to raise money from the public for bail," he said.
Lim himself did not discount the possibility of early national polls, saying that the people will have to decide.
"It is up to the people to answer in the next general election," he said when asked in an ad-hoc press conference after the ceramah.
Earlier in the morning, the commercial district in Lebuh Pantai here reverberated with shouts of "Lim Guan Eng" as thousands gathered for a solidarity walk with the chief minister.
Among those who walked was businesswoman Asma, 46, who said she wanted to show her support for Lim's government.
"There is no need for him to step down," she stressed when asked if Lim needed to take leave until the trial ends.
Another supporter, Khor See Beng, 55, laughed off the accusations.
"I support him as CM, I support his leadership," the voter from the Air Putih constituency, where Lim is assemblyman said.
Also among them was Harnik Kaur, 50, who was with her family of seven from Butterworth.
"We are behind him, we will not let him down," she said.
George Town folk started their day this morning with heavier than usual traffic in the city’s streets as police mounted blocks on roads leading to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s (MACC) state headquarters and the courthouse complex.
According to The Star Online, George Town OCPD Asst Comm Mior Faridalathrash Wahid said the blocks were set up to ensure a smooth journey for officials sending Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng to the Sessions Court to face two corruption charges.
“We are not trying to cause trouble to the people but we have to do that for smooth court proceedings,” he was quoted saying, adding that the number of people allowed into the courthouse would also be monitored by police.
The news portal said thousands were late for work due to the bumper-to-bumper crawl along Jalan Pangkor to Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah before the MACC building and slow traffic on Lebuh Farquhar near the Penang courthouse.
The portal said the blocks affected those heading to several schools in the city such as the Convent Light School, St Xavier’s Institute and SMK Hutchings.
At the courthouse on Light Street, a massive crowd of leaders and supporters gathered since the early morning to show support for Lim.
When Lim’s counsels arrived at about 9am, the crowd swelled to more than several hundred, many milling around the compound as police stopped them from entering the already-packed courtroom.
Lim’s father and Gelang Patah MP Lim Kit Siang arrived at about 9.45am to loud cheers from those gathered.
Shortly after, Lim was brought to the complex, earning more cheers.
The Penang chief minister is expected to be charged under Section 23 of the MACC Act and Section 165 of the Penal Code.
Section 23 of the MACC Act covers the offence of using one’s public office or position to obtain gratification for decisions made, while Section 165 of the Penal Code — which was used to convict former Selangor mentri besar Khir Toyo — pertains to the same offence.
He is expected to be charged over the rezoning approval of Magnificent Emblem’s application to convert agricultural land to residential purpose.
He is also expected to be charged over his house purchase, which was allegedly below market value.
Attorney-General Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali confirmed to Bernama yesterday that he will lead the prosecution team in Lim’s case.
Magnificent Emblem's director Phang Li Khoon, who was also arrested yesterday, is also expected to be charged today.

The High Court set bail at RM1 million for Lim Guan Eng this afternoon after the Penang chief minister claimed trial to two corruption charges.
After his plea was recorded, Attorney-General Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali, who led the prosecution team, proposed the bail sum and asked that Lim be compelled to inform the court if he planned to travel abroad.
During mitigation, Lim’s lead counsel Gobind Singh Deo requested for the accused to be allowed to inform the court and the AG’s Chambers of this travel plans two days before departure.

Lim and Phang are facing charges over an allegedly corrupt house purchase deal they struck last year.
Lim is facing two charges ― one under Section 23 of the MACC Act and another under Section 165 of the Penal Code.
He is accused of using his public office or position to obtain gratification for himself and his wife, Betty Chew, by approving an application by Magnificent Emblem to convert agricultural land to residential purpose during a state planning committee meeting on July 18, 2014.
Section 23 carries a jail term of not more than 20 years and a fine of five times the value of gratification or RM10,000 whichever is higher.
In the Penal Code charge, Lim is alleged to have used his position to obtain gratification by purchasing his house from Phang at RM2.8 million, which was below the property’s market value of RM4.27 million on July 28, 2015.
The second offence is punishable by up to two years’ imprisonment, a fine, and forfeiture of property upon conviction.
Phang meanwhile has been charged with abetment under Section 109 of the Penal Code over the sale of the house on Jalan Pinhorn to Lim.- Reffer to Malay Mail Online
