Waytha Moorthy Ponnusamy sued the British Government to pay £1,000,000 to each Malaysian Indian for the "pain, suffering, humiliation, discrimination and continuous colonization".

Just as Malaysia was celebrating its 50th Independence on 31 August 2007, Waytha Moorthy led a team of lawyers to file a 4 trillion pound lawsuit against the British Government.

[5] On 30 October 2007, Waytha Moorthy and other members of HINDRAF — M. Manoharan, P. Uthayakumar and V. Ganabatirau, were arrested at 11:00 p.m. and detained until 8:00 a.m. the following morning for taking part in a demonstration against the demolition of a Hindu Shrine in Kuala Lumpur.

[7] But on 26 November, the court discharged Waytha Moorthy, Uthayakumar and Ganapathy Rao[8] because "the prosecution had failed to adhere to Zunaidah's (the judge) instructions on Friday to attach the Tamil transcripts of the speeches to the charge sheet".

[13][14][15][16] To avoid Waytha Moorthy's campaign that can reflect the discrimination towards the Indian community that are contrary to the Federal Constitution, the Malaysian government revoked his International Passport in May 2008.

On 18 April 2013, after the ban of HINDRAF was surprisingly lifted and registration suddenly approved, Waytha Moorthy and the then ruling government Barisan Nasional (BN) had signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

[23] At the MoU signing ceremony, Waytha Moorthy had also urged Indian voters to vote for BN in 2013 General Election (GE13), saying only the ruling coalition can take care of the community's welfare.

[28][29] In August 2017, HINDRAF under the leadership of Waytha Moorthy met with Chairman of Malaysian United Indigenous Party (BERSATU), Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad and initiated a working relationship with Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition for the 2018 General Election (GE14).

[36][37] On 28 September 2018, after a 15-year absence from the United Nations, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad made his return and repeated his call for a reform of the world body.

Mahathir Mohamad in his speech in the 73rd Session of the General Assembly stated that the new Malaysia will firmly espouse the principles promoted by the UN in its international engagements.

[40] Amongst the areas visited in formulating the National Unity Action Plan including the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD).

The thugs were wielding knives, axes, rakes, parangs, and wooden sticks, and barged into the temple compound before ordering all within to vacate the premises immediately.

The ministers' response pertains to the statement by the Subang Jaya police regarding the clash in the wee hours of the morning, which was initially described as a fight between two ethnic Indian groups, stemming from the issue of the temple relocation.

Waytha Moorthy called on Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Mohamad Fuzi Harun to immediately issue a corrective statement to set the facts straight.

The Home Minister said police investigations revealed that the leader of the group which instigated the conflict was handed RM150,000 by the lawyers, which was used to pay the Malay thugs involved from RM150 to RM300 each.

The suspects, aged between 20 and 46 years old, included two ethnic Rohingya and one Indonesian and were led by a Malaysian national, Abdul Hamid told a press conference at the police headquarters in Bukit Aman.

“The special branch counter-terrorism division had detected a wolf pack of Islamic State terrorists, who had planned to murder high-profile individuals and attack places of worship and entertainment outlets.

Abdul Hamid added the cell had been set up in January with the police have arrested members of the group on May 5–7, before they planned to carry out their attacks during the first week of Ramadan, the Muslim fasting month.

It expressed concern that the terror suspects had intended to assassinate several high-profile personalities due to purported accusations that they failed to uphold Islam and insulted the religion.

Thereafter P. Waytha Moorthy was again singled out and targeted during the ICERD rally and made a scapegoat during the Seafield temple issue when it let to the death of the late fireman Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim.

[3][59] Meanwhile, on 15 July 2019, HINDRAF despite PH was still the ruling government and not fallen yet in the Sheraton Move was somehow deregistered by the RoS due to its central committee leadership failure to hold meetings for at least eight times a year as required under the law.
