HIndraf Makkal Shakti

Malaysiakini pits Hindraf with ASP & DAP mandores axis.

Some reporter in Malaysiakini before and is doing it again. They are up to their tricks again. Take note that in all of the following news reporters this pitting of Hindraf Hindraf was never done but the defamation suit by Hindraf Chairman P.Waytha Moorthy was properly reported.

1) NST 1/1/2010 at page 6

2) The Star 1/1/2010 at page N24

3) Utusan Malaysia 1/1/2010 at page 13

4) Berita Harian 1/1/2010 at page 10

5) Malaysia Nanban 1/1/2010 front page

6) Makkal Osai 1/1/2010 front page

7) Tamil Nesan 1/1/2010 front page

Bernama News 31/1/2010

9) Malaysiakini 31/1/2010

10) NTV7 news at 7.00 p.m and 8.00 p.m

11) TV3 news

We have asked Malaysiakini repeatedly to independently report the truth about this ASP Vasanthakumar as follows:

1) A google search of him reveals zero posting in the pre 25^th November 2007 Hindraf Rally.

2) This ASP only stepped his foot into the Hindraf office about three months before the 25^th November 2007 Hindraf Rally. Malaysiakini has personal knowledge about this as they have frequently covered media events at Mutiara Bangsar over the last 8 years and have never seen this ASP there.

3) Malaysiakini should deny this in their newsreport if its not true.

4) This ASP was neither appointed or announced as a “Hindraf leader” until the IGP Musa Hassan on 13/12/07 declared and appointed him as a Hindraf leader when this ASP was lumped up and detained together with the other Hindraf lawyers.

5) And independent interview with any political party or NGO leader or any journalist including Malaysiakini’s Steven Gan would reveal that no one has ever heard of him before the 25^th November 2007 Hindraf Rally.

6) There is no history of any NGO activists with a mere three month stint having been arrested and detained under the ISA.

7) Lawyers M.Manoharan and R.Kenghatharan had for the first time spoken to this ASP only at Kamunting Prison though they have seen him around a couple of times in the three months preceding the 25^th November 2007 Hindraf Rally.

None of the other Hindraf, Police Watch or Prim leaders or members had ever heard the name or seen this ASP in the 3 months preceding the 25^th Hindraf Rally. But Malaysiakini refuses to report on this truth as they prefer pitting Hindraf v Hindraf for “malicious news value” ala the previous Malay Mail reporting style Malaysiakini, the voice for the underdog? Hindraf?

We would however like to acknowledge once again that at the time we needed help the most, Malaysiakini had been with us.

Indian poor lady delivers baby next to drain in Brickfields

This is yet again another indicator of Indian extreme poverty under Malay-sia UMNO because of inequality and inequal opportunities .

While most urban Malay and Chinese mothers in K.L are going to private clinics and hospitals for their delivery , this poor Indian lady S.Kala was forced to attend to her own delivery and even “cut the umbilical cord herself” (Refer Makkal Osai 31/12/09 headlines and The Star 1/1/09 at page N45). This is just the tip of the iceberg of such sad sob and depressing news reports concerning the Indian poor

Have we ever heard of these kind of incidents happening to any Malay , Chinese , Orang Asli , Kadazan or Iban in UMNOs’ Malay-sia .Why does this only happen to the Indians in Malay-sia?

‘Tamils without Tamil’ with comments .......

“Why we need 1700 temples for only 3 million Indians in Malaysia? It does not make sense but we still continue to build temples and fight for it. We only have 450 Tamil schools in Malaysia and it is getting lesser,” says a news-group posting from Hindraf, New York. At least the Indian Tamils raise the issue, but the more affluent Jafanese or Ceylonese have forgotten Tamil and Tamil schools with their first generation. Now, even to give ‘tuition’ in Tamil only a few of the old generation remain, commented an Eezham Tamil refugee recently went to Malaysia.

Edited text of the posting from hindraf.newyork:

When will we change?

Here are the facts:

Why we need 1700 temples for only 3 million Indians in Malaysia? It does not make sense but we still continue to build temples and fight for it. We only have 450 Tamil schools in Malaysia and it is getting lesser.
Every Friday, temples in the cities earn minimum of $500 ($2000 per month), no electricity bill and no water bill. Tamil schools get $50 per child per year and pays electricity bill, water bill, teacher’s salary and maintenance every month.
Most temples in cities are renovated, air conditioned and owns a beautiful wedding hall. Tamil schools were built in 1970's and still remain the same with broken tables and chairs, spoiled fan and lights, buku pinjaman (book borrowed) torn, bad environment for students and teachers. Have you seen one Tamil school fully air conditioned except the HM room?
$2 million was donated by Indian people for the Statue of Lord Muruga of Batu Caves built by Indians; minimum $10 million spend every year during Thaipusam by devotes. Why blame government for not giving allocation fund for Tamil schools, why can't we just pay $1 for praying and $9 for Tamil School?
Minimum $200 spent by Indian alcoholics on every weekend for clubbing and entertainment. When asked for donation of $5 for Tamil School, we run away or ignore.
In every Indian house there is TV, HI-FI Radio, CD/DVD player and the classic Astro. They have watched all the latest Tamil movies even it's not yet out in theatre. Our children have to get buku pinjaman (book borrowed from the library), no revision book, never been to a bookstore, never encouraged to take up piano class, violin class, swimming or language class other than those offered in school. No computer at home and the reason is ‘can't afford one.’

These are some of the issues that we ignore and still continue doing it. Some of you may consider Tamil Education a waste of time. But the rest of Indians are also going to ignore it or going to make a change?

Please don't forget that in the 80's, Chinese schools and Tamil Schools were at the same level as Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan. There were more students in Tamil Schools and the infrastructure was same for both schools.

But today, look at Chinese Schools and compare it with our Tamil Schools (sigh). Please take note that most of the Chinese Schools are run 100% without government support. For your info, our government is trying their level best to abolish these two schools, their dream is coming true for Tamil Schools but not for Chinese Schools.

If you really care, just spend 2 minutes and take a look at any Chinese Schools nearby your house. You can see the parents waiting in their Mercedes, BMW, Toyota, Honda and even motorbike to pick up their kids from school back home.

We have never seen any Indian parents with their Mercedes, BMW, Honda or Toyota waiting for their kids outside Tamil Schools.

Anonymous said...: What is there to do. All that we can do is talk at warong kopi only. What are our leaders doing. They are fighting for leadership, money and power. This statement goes for everyone of them. The Malaysian Indians will only be saved with a true leader who doesn't abandon the sinking ship.

Our existing leaders may speak about Mahatma Gandhi and all but when it comes to work it is a different story all together.

My personal experience in getting together some Indian youths in my place ended with some thugs spreading rumours about me. Being a housewife I back out from helping the youths.

What can be said about our society. They prefer to hear what some so called leaders saying rather then investigating it.

AS long as there are people poisoning the minds with some sensational stories , so long they will not be united.

I also not against temples but the main question is which is more important. A place of education seems more in need then unvisited temples.

Think about it. I am all for uplifting of Malaysian Indians. We need more active member of parliment, more outspoken teachers, honest community leader, and most of all alert parent.

Good day

Where is the M'sian Indians courage to defend the rights given by the British during M'sia independance? Just some water sprayed and smoke balls during Hindraf rally had made all Indians scared to question their rights? Are we born to live a coward style of accepting the discriminations till the roots of Tamil, is being eliminated step by step. These education are grassroots of all Indians right at M'sia, if the roots are chopped and the tree falls, M'sian Indians will become similar or lower graded then Indonesian or Bangladeshis by year 2020! Wawasan 2020 to eliminate the roots of Tamils and Chinese in M'sia. The roots of our pride is Tamil education which stands as the M'sian Indians great big tree.

Anonymous said...: When there is matter of donations we yet to come in terms is it, but when it comes to matter of donations to the temples everyone is obliged and pays a large amount without comments given why? Its the bloody superstitious fenomena that had been cultivated in all Indians mind! If i were a cheat.I would look to getting donations for temples like Thanenthiran, the MMSP-malaysia makkal sakthi party- co-ordinator or traitor truly, but as i am not so will take the right part of producing a transparent record and accounts on the donations for Tamil school!
Lets be frank here b'coz of few indians who refrained from occupying yr co. vacant posts dont embarass the whole Indians by putting in the same shoes. Its like a slap in face with a shoe if you mentioned that Indians are selective, pls dont underestimate the Indians or Tamils as we belong to a disciplined way of life in and out of social interests! Happy new year and lets get the the donations to proof to Chinese that Indians can also establish a education status whether rich or poor!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anonymous said...: I agree to the comments above as i belonged in the same group of scared people, but now i feel like i have the balls to defend the position of Tamil schools and also show to Chinese we can remove the class systems between us and also the language borders between us, even though i am a Malayali i had a formal education in Tamil school which made me a highly inteligent and respectable person but those Indians who opposed going to Tamil schools but went to malay schools are living in Slums and acting like Milionares, Slumdog Milionaire part 2 i think, Yah so i would like to know how will the donation take place and the transparency be shown to us? I guess the dog shit eating MIC mandor's are truly traitors and worth no wote from Tamils especialy for their self enrichment during this period when Tamil being removed from National Sylabus, No indians have balls to argue or at least perform rally to show their protest, scared after being sprayed water or smoke?

Hunger strike in JB for recognition of Tamil subjects - Malaysiakini

A group of 30 activists championing the Tamil language staged a one-day hunger strike in the middle of the Johor Bahru yesterday to protest what they claim to be the government's blatant sidelining of the Tamil language.

According to PKR Johor vice-chief P Magendran, "The policy of not counting Tamil subjects in SPM credits marginalises the importance of Tamil language and literature in Tamil subjects."

tamil language protest hunger strike johor bahru 2"As they don't count, pupils will not pay attention to them. This will lead to the Tamil language being sidelined.

"But this also has more serious implications, as once the Tamil language becomes sidelined, Tamil schools may close down.

"What is to be come of the Tamil language? What is to become of Tamil teachers?" he asked.

The group further alleged that the government is also not giving enough opportunities for those who want to advance their knowledge in Tamil by not giving JPA scholarships and blocking those seeking to further their studies in Tamil language or Tamil literature studies at public universities.

Tamil knowledge development blocked

Both policies, said Magendran, is another telling evidence of the government ignoring the Tamil language.

The hunger strike was led by the state's PKR special officer K Selvakumar. Also present were other representatives of the PKR and the DAP as well as Tamil NGOs such as the Tamil Neri Association of Malaysia and Johor Manimandram Association.

tamil language protest hunger strike johor bahruIn attendance and closely observing the group were close 20 to 30 police officers who arrived in five police cruiser and a police van.

The hunger strike which began at 9am ended at 9pm.

They gathered right in the middle of the city at Jalan Ungku Puan, near the Raja Mariamman Devasthanam Temple.

This is another in a series of protest and campaigns by Tamil NGO's and Indians in general over the government cap of 10 subjects for SPM examinations, a move which many say sidelined vernacular language subjects.

Recently the government had revised the policy to allow for two additional subjects to be taken by students, especially those from vernacular schools.

However, the government is firm in not giving full recognition for these subjects nor count them in calculating SPM credits.

Hindraf vs Hindraf: One faction sues, the other makes police report - Malaysiakini

The tussle between two Hindraf factions has escalated into a legal battle with the filing of a RM100 million suit by the movement's chairperson-in-exile P Waythamoorthy against four individuals and six news organisations.

hindraf penang split into two factions 040409 waythamoorthy

hindraf penang split into two factions 040409 waythamoorthy

In his statement of claim, Waythamoorthy (right) said the six news organisations carried statements of the four individuals who had alleged that he misappropriated public donations for Hindraf.

The four individuals are Penang Deputy Chief Minister II P Ramasamy, Sungkai state assemblyperson A Sivanesan, and two former ISA detainees V Ganabatirau and K Vasanthakumar.

The six news organisations named as defendants are English daily The Star, online news portals Malaysiakini and The Malaysian Insider, and three Tamil dailies Makkal Osai, Tamil Nesan and Malaysia Nanban.

Since their release from ISA detention earlier this year, Ganabatirau and Vasanthakumar have each headed a splinter group under the same name, while Ramasamy and Sivanesan are prominent DAP leaders who were formerly vocal Hindraf supporters.

Five hours after the law suit was filed, Vasanthakumar lodged a report at Brickfields police station against the 'wild allegations' that he was a police agent.

He said that rumours that he was a police officer were spread via text messages and the Human Rights Party website.

'Duo not Hindraf leaders'

Waythamoorthy is seeking RM10 million from each defendant for the alleged defamatory statements that was published between July and August this year.

The suit was filed at the Kuala Lumpur High Court today by lawyer P Uthayakumar, who is Hindraf's most recognisable leader and also Waythamoorthy's elder brother.

Speaking to reporters later, Uthayakumar said all Hindraf monies will be handled by accountants from Jan 1, 2010 onwards and thus the money can be accounted for.

hindraf isa prayer 131209 uthayakumar He said that the subject of Hindraf accounts were brought up by the four individuals in order to divert attention from the Penang government's management of the Kampung Buah Pala issue.

"This (suit) is also a message to the press - just because somebody make a statement, you cannot go around publishing whatever you like," said Uthayakumar (left).

Among others, Waythamoorthy's suit is also seeking an injunction against all 10 defendants to stop them from repeating the allegations against him.

Seeking unusual declarations

Meanwhile, Waythamoorthy is also seeking a declaration that Ganabatirau and Vasanthakumar are not Hindraf leaders and subsequently, for an injunction preventing the duo from referring to themselves as such.

He also seeking an injunction against media organisations from referring to the duo as Hindraf leaders or its associates.

Waythamoorthy's suit seeks several less conventional court declarations, among others, a declaration that Vasanthakumar is a police spy attached to the "Special Branch E3M" with the rank of assistant police superintendent.

He is also seeking a declaration that Ramasamy, Sivanesan and Ganabatirau were "mandores" (Tamil for labourer supervisor) of the DAP, particularly its secretary-general and Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng.

Hindraf's Waytha seeks RM100m for libel

R.Seetha: HRP’s news maker for 2009

Top ten news makers.

1) R. Seetha’s brother was murdered in cold blood by UMNO’s Malay-sian police along with four other Indian youths including a 17 year old Indian juvenile on 8/11/09 at Klang. Out of these five ruthless police killings done with impunity there were three coffins/dead bodies in one family to grieve. How cruel?

As Seetha could not take the pain of her brother’s said murder and that she was in no position to fight UMNO’s Malay-sian police, she took her own life by drinking paraquat. Her five children who were also given paraquat to drink survived but are likely to suffer from medical complications like kidney failure, cancer etc at a very young age. The last twenty seconds of Seetha’s life was captured by HRP’s video crew. And so was the first two minutes of her death. (see video in video section below). The height of the UMNO Malay-sian police atrocities is when the police tried shifting the blame on Seethe’s husband for her suicide. HRP was disappointed when the family of R. Seetha backed out from protesting by taking her body in a procession to Parliament house which was then in session. We will have another day. We have taken a rain cheque on this. There is no history of a tragedy of this magnitude ever happening in any other part of the world. UMNOs’ Malay-sia made it somehow

2) The pictures of A. Kugan’s brutalized body speaks a thousand words (see photos below). But all the police murderers who murdered Kugan got away scot free. As usual a “mandore” Indian policeman was prosecuted for a token offence of causing injuries while extorting a confession. A. Kugan’s murder at the Taipan police station was the worst case ever recorded on camera of a death in custody. Lawyer N. Surendran and HRP’s S. Jayathas took the lead in standing up for, capturing on camera and publicizing this atrocity.

3) Even in “our” very own Opposition led DAP in Penang, the last Indian traditional village of Kg. Buah Pala was demolished with impunity by Kapitan Lim Guan Eng and ably assisted by thier Indian mandores. These villagers campaigned, carried placards and and even cried openly outside the Kapitan’s official residence but to no avail. Hindraf and HRP went at full steam at the campaigns but DAP, PKR and PAS does not care. The saddest ending was when Murugan (46) who led the unprecedented lobby at Unesco to save Kg. Buah Pala passed away from a heart attack last week when he could no longer bear Kapitan Lim Guan Eng is continued demolishing of his cattle farm the week before after earlier in October 2009 having completely destroyed Kg. Buah Pala.

4) Similarly in PAS led Kedah the last piece of history and the heritage value cemetary of the Indian plantation workers in Ladang Batu Pekaka, Kuala Ketil, Kedah, the Kedah PAS Menteri Besar unilaterally demolished it with impunity. PAS was backed up by the Malay-sian UMNO police force and silently watched over by PKR and DAP. PAS, PKR or UMNO would never dare to it to a Chinese cemetary. Pray tell us of one Muslim, Christian, Buddhist or Chinese cemetery or place of worship being demolished in Malaysia. Why does this happen only to the Indian Hindus in UMNOs’ Malay-sia.

5) 16 Hindraf/HRP anti cow head candle light peaceful assemblers were arrested on 21/09/2009. There video of this HRP/Hindraf cemetery. We wonder why? arrest drew an unprecedented half a million over hits in Malaysiakini.com.

Whereas the malay muslim criminal protesters who stepped and spat on a severed and bloody cow head were given an audience with UMNO Home Minister Hishamuddin Hussien.

6) Release of P. Uthayakumar and M. Manoharan from ISA detention on 5/9/09 after 514 days at Kamuniting prison is the ultimate price paid for fighting for the critical Indian issues having befallen on the Malaysian Indian community .

7) Announcement of the formation of Human Rights Party and book launch “Indian Political Empowerment Strategy The Way Forward” by P. Uthayakumar on 19/6/09.

8) 2^nd Anniversary of 25^th November 2007 100,000 over Hindraf peaceful Rally was held with the hunger strike of 18 Hindraf/HRP supporters and a gathering of 100 over others at KLCC at 11.30 a.m on 25/11/2009. Thereafter at 2.00 p.m a letter from Hindraf Chairman P. Waytha Moorthy’s daughter and a bouquet of flowers was brought to Putrajaya. As none of the Prime Minister’s Secretaries wanted to come out to receive us, the letter and the bouquet of flowers were left at the steps to the Prime Minister’s office after which the hunger strikes broke their fast.

9) Also noted are the plight of the Indian poor handicapped and senior citizens who have been denied Welfare help, Socso payments, live in dilapidated shacks, 70% of Tamil schools in cow shed like conditions, Tamil schools have to buy their own chairs and tables when (the almost all malay muslim) MRSM in Trolak is built on RM 120 Million government funding, Indian mini market owner from Termerloh of 30 years standing was even denied his licence to continue running his business in November 2009.

10) 150,000 Indian children being denied their birth certificates, another 150,000 even third, forth and fifth generation Indians have been denied their Malaysian citizenships, an Indian cannot even become an Assistant district officer in Malaysia when the USA already has it’s first black “muslim” President in the person of Barack Hussien Obama. Malaysian Indian medical students degrees from Russia, Ukraine, Romania, India, Indonesia etc being derecognized at a time when Malaysia is short of doctors by 50%.

Every day some hindu temple, hindu crematorium, tamil school or Indian settlement is demolished given notice to be demolished, relocated or to be relocated.

Welcome to Malay-sia, the World’s most racist and religious extremist country.

HENTIKAN POLISI : TIADA SIJIL LAHIR TIADA SEKOLAH

YAB/ YB,

Kami rujuk kepada perkara yang tersebut di atas

Menurut akhbar Tamil pada penghujung tahun 2007 satu Surat Pekeliling telah dikeluarkan oleh Kementerian Pelajaran kepada sekolah –sekolah Tamil supaya tidak menerima masuk murid – murid yang telah dinafikan Sijil Kelahiran mereka bermula dari tahun persekolahan Januari 2008. Dan selepas daripada itu kami telah membaca banyak laporan- laporan akhbar yang menyatakan bahawa murid – murid keturunan India yang telah dinafikan Sijil Kelahiran telah tidak dibenarkan diterima terutamanya di sekolah- sekolah Tamil.

YAB/ YB kes kanak- kanak dinafikan sijil kelahiran sebenarnya adalah satu tragedi oleh kerana akan berlaku masalah bersangkut (chain reaction) dan implikasi jauh ke hadapan (far reaching consequences) bermula dari tidak dibenarkan masuk ke Sekolah Rendah, Sekolah Menengah, Kolej- kolej Kemahiran (Skills Training Institutions) Institusi Pengajian Tinggi dan Universiti di dalam dan luar negara, tidak boleh mendapat pinjaman Pendidikan dan Biasiswa. Juga mereka akan dinafikan lesen memandu motorsikal, motorkar van, bas dan lori untuk mendapat pekerjaan dan mencari makan. Mereka tidak dapat membuka akaun bank atau membeli rumah, motorsikal, kereta, lori atau van. Tidak akan dapat lesen berniaga. Tidak dapat buka walaupun sebuah gerai makanan. Tidak akan mendapat pekerjaan walaupun pekerjaan yang tidak memerlukan kemahiran seperti pengawal keselamatan atau pekerja am dikilang ataupun cleaner di pejabat.

Dan akhir sekali, mereka tidak dapat berkahwin. Jikalaupun mereka berkahwin anak- anak generasi mereka yang seterusnya mengalami masalah tiada sijil kelahiran dan masalah ini berlanjutan kesemuanya sekali lagi (all over again) kepada generasi berikutnya. Masalah sosial yang berbangkit adalah remaja India yang terjerumus ke dalam kegiatan kongsi gelap dan jenayah. Kami merasa amat dukacita olehkerana kerajaan terpaksa membelanjakan RM 1 Billion dalam Bajet 2010 kepada Polis Diraja Malaysia untuk menangani keselamatan dan jenayah termasuk membunuh dengan menembak mati antara lain lima orang pemuda India dalam satu hari termasuk seorang remaja berumur cuma 17 tahun dalam satu transaksi di Klang pada 8/11/09.

Anggaran kami adalah 150,000 kanak – kanak India yang hampir kesemuanya lahir di Malaysia malah ada yang dalam generasi ketiga, keempat dan kelima yang sengaja dinafikan sijil kelahiran oleh sebahagian daripada 1,016,799 ‘graduan’ Biro Tata Negara (rujuk UM Buletin 21/6/09 mukasurat 19) yang menolak pengeluaran Sijil Kelahiran atas alasan- alasan teknikal yang paling remeh. Persepsi kami adalah mereka sudahpun membuat keputusan untuk menolak atas dasar perkauman terutamanya apabila pemohon adalah dari golongan kelas pekerja dari masyarakat India.

Oleh yang demikian dalam penyelesaian ikhlas jangka pendek dan jangka panjang kami memohon supaya:-

1) Surat Pekeliling yang telah dikeluarkan pada penghujung tahun 2007 tersebut dibatalkan dan satu surat Pekeliling yang baru dikeluarkan oleh Ketua Setiausaha, Kementerian Pelajaran untuk tahun 2010 dengan arahan kepada terutamanya guru- guru besar dan Ketua- Ketua Jabatan Pelajaran supaya tidak menolak sebarang dan/ atau mana- mana murid keturunan India khususnya daripada dibenarkan masuk ke sekolah- sekolah rendah dan seterusnya.

2) Satu Surat Pekeliling dikeluarkan oleh Ketua Setiausaha Kementerian Dalam Negeri supaya kesemua kes kanak – kanak dari masyarakat India yang telah dinafikan Sijil Kelahiran dikenalpasti dengan segera dan diberikan Sijil Kelahiran dalam tempoh 60 hari dari tarikh disini.

Tindakan dan jawapan yang awal dari pihak YAB,YB disanjung tinggi.

Sekian,

Terima Kasih.

Yang Benar,

Impoverished Indian families in Kampung Manis,Prai

Umno man says ‘Allah’ judgement will stir racial tension

By Syed Jaymal Zahiid - The Malaysian Insider

A jubilant Father Lawrence holds up an Arabic version of the Holy Bible, said to contain the word Allah - Picture by Jack Ooi.

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 31 — One of Umno’s known hawks, Pasir Salak MP Datuk Tajuddin Abdul Rahman, lambasted the High Court judgement on the ‘Allah’ case today, saying that it would not solve anything but only ignite racial and religious tension.

The High Court today lifted the home minister’s ban against the Catholic church from publishing the word “Allah” to refer to the Christian God in its weekly paper, Herald.

The landmark decision may be of joy for some 850,000 Catholics in the country but for Tajuddin, the suit itself, filed by Herald’s lawyers, is an act of provocation.

“What is their motive (for the suit) ? Why all of a sudden they want to use the word Allah when all this while they have been using the term God?

“This is definitely provocation, they are just using all this human rights, religious rights as excuses. This is sensitive to the Muslims and this will create racial and religious tension,” he told The Malaysian Insider.

The controversy over the word “Allah” has stirred huge debate among Christians and Muslims alike in Malaysia and attracted international attention as well.

The Home Minister, who controls giving the annual mandatory publishing permits in the country, had banned the church from using the word “Allah” outside the Muslim context.

But some have questioned if there can be a copyright over the word “Allah”, which Muslim representatives here say is a special word reserved to refer to the Muslim God, meaning “the one and only Almighty”.

The act of questioning the exclusivity of the word “Allah” for Muslims said Tajuddin is a clear indicator that “certain quarters” have become “bolder”.

“They have dared to do these things because the Muslims have been soft..but if you put some one in a corner, they will bounce back,” lamented the Pasir Salak MP.

“What the High Court thinks is right, may not necessarily be right outside (the court),” he added.

Meanwhile PAS vice-president Datuk Mahfuz Omar said Muslims must respect the decision of the High Court and remain calm.

“We must not be hasty and jump to conclusions. We should let the religious authorities to decide on its next course of action,” he said.

Asked if he agreed with the decision, Mahfuz ignored the question and reiterated that the country’s Muslims must respect the High Court decision and allow the religious authority to decide on its next course of action.

Though it is unclear if the Home Minister will seek to reverse the decision through the Appellate Court but he is likely to do so given the sensitivity of the issue.

Indian victims never newsmakers of the year.

Malaysiakini top ten news. Indians have to die at police hands to make it. Race based news worthiness in Malaysia?

Newsportal for the “underdogs”?

It has not only been this year but for almost the last eight years or so that we taken note that the only time even critical Indian issues get to the top 10 even in Malaysiakini (Malayasikini 28/12/09), the News portal for the “underdogs”? is when they lose their life at the hands of the Malay-sian authorities. This year it was A. Kugan and that too it was the tail end at No.8 (Malaysiakini 28/12/09). We recallect that previously only S.Tharmarajen who also died in police custody and others who were killed in police custody made it to the top ten. Teoh Beng Hock was rightly made Malaysiakini’s news maker of 2009(Malaysiakini 30/12/09). But hundreds of other Indians also died very cruelly at the hands of the police but they don’t make it as the newsmaker of the year.

We must recognize however that during our most lean times Malaysiakini has given us the due coverage. We also appreciate their link to Top of blogs.

Most issues which concerns Indian victims however critical, unjust or unfair does not get the appropriate coverage for the only reason that the victims are Indians. The latest examples being the suicide of R. Seetha who committed suicide because her brother along with four other youths including a 17 year old juvenile were shot dead and killed in cold blooded murder by the police sharp shooters in their shoot to kill policy. The Kampong Buah Pala the last traditional Indian village in Penang destruction by Kapitan Lim Guan Eng and ably aided and abetted by his Indian Mandores. And the 100 over year old hindu crematorium at Ladang Batu Pekaka, Kuala Ketil being destroyed by PAS. Pray tell us of one Chinese, Muslim, Christian or Buddhist cemetery that gets destroyed like this in Malaysia or in fact in any other part of the world including Somalia or even Zimbabwe.

But these three events would not qualify as the top ten stories even in “our” Malaysiakini because the victims are the poor and working class Indians.

Thus the present critical state of affairs concerning the Indians in Malaysia.

If even our Malaysiakini can do this to the Indians what more the mainstream print and electronic media.

The press deem these Indian stories not press worthy meaning it does not appeal to the majoritarian Malay natives and the Chinese who make up about 92% of the population.

The Indians who make up a mere 8% however critical their problems are do not qualify to be the top ten or even most other news on a day to day basis. Simply because they are Indians Thus the critical Indian problems getting worst by the day as it does not get the appropriate attention.

This is where the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the rest of the western world differs in that they do not use race as the yardstick for press worthiness but in fact even bend backwards to cover the weak minorities because the rich and powerful majority will be taken care of somehow.

In the aforesaid case where 5 Indians were shot dead by the police Malaysiakini covered their story only after a victim’s sister committed suicide after also giving her four children paraquat but who survived. But a Chinese national who was detained for eight days at a police lock instantly gets Malaysiakini coverage because it is newsworthy”.

Malaysia today is another classical example. RPK would cover just about any other issue expect when the victims are Indians. Go through his site and see for yourself if he excludes critical Indian issue.

Needless to mention UMNOs’, NST, Utusan, Berita Harian and the Star, Sun Malay Mail etc.

We have asked many many reporters including the many Indian reporters after a lengthy explanation as to why they sideline and side-step reporting even on the critical Indian problems. They all have no answer and remain mum. This is what we have for freedom of the press in Malaysia and reporting going by “news worthiness”.
