“Malay community distressed with the anti-social behaviour of a group of Indian youths, resulting in them wanting to teach the Indian youths a lesson” says Denison in his research paper on the Klang Lama (Kg. Medan) ethnic clash that occurred in 2001.

Anti-Samy Tamil daily’s branded Denison as a ‘traitor of Indians’ disregarding his explanation and the other five reasons he mentioned.
Denison is heading Social Strategic Foundation (YSS), a multi-million dollar government funded organization that comes under MIC jurisdiction. This may be the reason for twisting the whole issue and whip up Indian sentiment. Denison is not blameless. His research works were not transparent and he refuses to respond when academics challenge (YSS needs to explain figures) his work.
