Ganabatirau Veraman

Ganabatirau s/o Veraman (Tamil: கணபதிராவ் வேராமன், romanized: Kaṇapatirāv Vērāmaṉ; born 6 June 1973) is a Malaysian politician who has served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Klang since November 2022.

On 21 April 2006, the Malaimel Sri Selva Kaliamman Temple in Kuala Lumpur was reduced to rubble its the city hall sent in bulldozers.

On 23 November 2007, Ganabatirau, together with two HINDRAF lawyers Waytha Moorthy, and Uthayakumar, were arrested and charged under the Sedition Act/Internal Security Act (ISA).

The only evidence against them were unreliable translations of their Tamil speeches into Bahasa Malaysia presented by the Attorney-General's Chambers, which the courts deemed as unverifiable.

Ganabatirau was then recruited into DAP shortly after his release from Kamunting Detention Centre, a Supermax prison located near the town of Taiping, Perak.
