In the Kota Raja Parliamentary constituency alone 1,000 Indian families swarmed to register for the government’s Welfare Department and the national rice subsidy programme (NST 2/1/2010 at page 8).
Based on this 1,000 x 222 Parlimentary constituencies = 220,000 Indian hardcore poor desperately needing even rice help for their basic day to day diet.
This is happening even after 52 years of Independence under UMNO’s Malay-sian government.
