Penang DCM II mandore’s peanuts politics but no land for all 28 Tamil schools.
Yet again this MIC style politics but this time by the Penang DAP DCM II Indian mandore on his Towkay Kapitan Lim Guan Eng’s instructions (refer Makkal Osai 18/1/10 at page 6). This Penang DCM II Indian mandore makes pledges of peanuts RM 1.75 Million for the year 2010 for all the 28 Tamil schools in Penang and said he would go around dishing out this RM 1.75 Million to the respective schools and would probably get 28 bites at this the “wayang kulit” cherry. This is if this RM 1.75 Million actually filters down to these Tamil schools. As for the year 2009 budget of RM 1.5 was promised Million for these 28 Tamil schools. We doubt even 30% of the same reached these 28 Tamil schools in Penang. If Kapitan Lim Guan Eng had been transparent we would have known the truth. But he and the other PKR Indian Exco mandores in Selangor, PAS Indian Exco mandore in Kedah and the earlier DAP Indian Exco mandore in Perak all sidestep the real issues befalling on the Tamil schools ie land for all 28 Tamil schools in Penang, 98 in Selangor and 58 in Kedah is being denied by the Tuans and Towkay leadership of Penang, Selangor and Kedah
As they are powerless to get their Tuans and Towkay to alienate land to all these Tamil schools (which is 100% in their powers to alienate further to Section 76 of the National Land Code) so they end up playing these sort of MIC style wayang kulit peanut politics.
We see very little difference between this PR and the UMNO government ie no permanent solution but only temporary and piecemeal “showmanship by these the showcase Indian DCM II and Exco mandores.

UMNO: Basic life necessities denied to Indian poor. In Sentul and nationwide.
UMNO: Basic life necessities denied to Indian poor. In Sentul and nationwide.
When the UMNO Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin visited Sentul on 16/1/2010 it is most shameful that even after 52 years of Independence from colonialism the Indians there have to beg for even the very basic life necessities from the neo colonialist UMNO as following:-
1) A room to conduct the final rites for deceased in especially low cost flats. (Note : In almost all of the low cost flats inhabited by the Indians nationwide a hall to conduct even their final rights have been denied to the poor Indians).
2) The Sentul crematorium be made into a modern one.
3) St. Joseph and Thambosamy Pillai Tamil Schools are to be made fully government aided Tamil schools.
4) Permanent land for hindu temples built before 2000.
5) That Kampong Tanah Lapang, the last traditional Indian village in Sentul and in fact in Kuala Lumpur be retained as the last Indian traditional village. This village was inhabitated by the Indian minority Railway workers who then dominated in the Malayan Railways and built the Railway network in Malaysia. This is the reward they get after 52 years.
(Note : There are scores of Malay and Chinese villages in Sentul and K.L but have been left alone and never demolished and their problems attended to because they both have the political power and the economic clout )
6) It is a shame that despite 52 years of independence from the British colonial masters and UMNO being able to built the world’s tallest Twin Towers which happens to be within sight of Sentul, the Indians in Sentul however have to suffer from even these very basic and elementary necessities of life.
And neither does the supposed multi-racial PKR, DAP and PAS top leaders and their 82 Opposition MPs’ bother to raise these critical Indian issues or seriously champion them especially when the victims’ misery, pain and sufferings are“merely felt by the Indians/Hindus”.

PKR Selangor chasing Indian squatters away. (Sinar 5/1/10 page S5)
Many families will lose their jobs, cannot afford the increased cost of living in the proposed temporary relocation away at Lembah Subang and the other inconveniences.
They have been “temporarily” relocated into these longhouses for a good 20 years or so. And why do they now have to move to yet another temporary flats. Why can’t the PKR Selangor state government which has a moral duty to properly house it’s poor, landless and homeless give these Indian poor a permanent solution as opposed to trying to push through another UMNO style temporary solution and never ending story.
The state government can pay their rentals for these Indians to stay in and around their present area vide an agreement until their flats are built. Why chase them away and offer temporary solutions which either is to drag on for may be another 20 years if not being denied the flats at all like what UMNO had been doing for the previous 50 years.
How is PKR, DAP and PAS any different from UMNO vis a vis the Indians?
PKR Selangor MB destroys hindu cemetery, human bones strewn about.
After the Hindu cemetery at Ladang Batu Pekaka at Kuala Ketil was discriminately demolished last month by the Pakatan Rakyat led PAS Kedah state government, it is now the turn of the PKR Selangor government to demolish the Kampong Sungai Bakau, Rawang hindu cemetery in the 80 over year old rubber estate which has buried 200 over former rubber tappers (Sinar 7/1/10 at page S14).
There is zero respect for this hindu cemetery. Why doesn’t PKR DAP or PAS try demolishing a Muslim, Chinese or Christian cemetery. The economically and politically weak Indians are seen as soft targets by both PKR, DAP and PAS and also by UMNO.
Why these atrocities?
So what: “after all they are the poor Indians” seems to be the stand of PKR, DAP and PAS! In collaboration with UMNO!

Church attacks : 17 Muslim & 13 Christian NGOs refused to condemn hindu temple arson
In One Malay-sia there is one rule for the Indians/ Hindus and another rule for the rest of the people of Malaysia. Caring and Civil society in Malaysia?

Agropoliton land for Indian squatters
UMNO evicts 43 Indian squatters from the KTMB land along Ipoh – Padang Besar. UMNO announces peanuts of RM 98,200.00 each. (The Star 15/1/2010 at page N.6). We are not sure if even these peanut was fully given.
But what ever happens when they finish using up if ever this RM 8,200.00, most probably to pay up their debts? Then they will be out in the streets again or squat with their relatives and live in tensed and cramped conditions all their lives, and end up quarrelling and arguing and may be even violence against each other. Thus may be the increasing crime rate among the Indians in Malaysia. Or to another squatter settlement all over again.
Unlike a Malay, orang asli Kadazan or Iban, these Indians have no villages to go back to. Even the poor Chinese squatter will fit in to one of the hundreds of Chinese villages in Malaysia.
But for these poor Indians, it is back to the streets and mysery all their lives until their dying days.

UMNO denies Indian man Socso benefits
Only RM 139.00 monthly is given to M. Mohan and that to after an eight year struggle (The Star 14/1/10 at page N55).
This is the kind of hell the One Million plus racist and religious extremist trained by UMNO Biro Tata Negara government staff does to Mohan whose hands and part of his body were made disabled.
Mohan’s case is only the tip of the ice berg and these are estimated to be thousands of others in his shoes but goes not being reported.

Policeman forgot to report death
There is no legal history of Malaysian Court ordering charge of murder or manslaughter.
But in this latest case of death at the Sentul police station of R. Gunasegaran. It is ridiculous that the policeman forgot to report the death of this detainee in the police lock up.
As usual UMNO puts an Indian policeman mandore One Sjn Mejar Rajinder Singh to tone down the racist and religious extremist Malay-sian police force. Remember they did the same thing in the case of the murder in police custody of A. Kugan when another only are Indian mandore policeman was prosecuted and that too not for murder but only a token criminal offence.

HRP Information Cheif
PKR cheats 74 poor Indian families, low cost houses denied
These 74 poor families from Kampong Bunga Raya, Shah Alam were cheated into moving into temporary longhouses. (The Star 13/1/10 at page N48). But then this longhouses can be demolished at any time as is the case forced now imminently on some 100 poor Indians in Kampong Medan in Petaling Jaya.
The Indians form about 25% of the Selangor population and voted in PKR, DAP and PAS in Selangor in the last elections. But having come to power PKR, DAP and PAS are playing almost the very same political games played by the previous UMNO led state government.

Orphaned dead body of Maniam (41) – poverty related
(Malaysia Nanban 14/1/10 at page 17).
This kind of news reports are only reported about poor Indians from time to time and that too only in the Tamil press.
We never read of reports of this nature involving a Malay, Chinese, Orang Asli, Iban, Kadazan etc in Malaysia. This happens only to the Indians because it is poverty related and no care is extended to them.

Is a Malaysian Indian subject to subtle genocide?
As a Muslim and more so as a Malaysian, one would find plenty of historical facts and the contribution of the Malaysian Indians are being slowly eradicated and redressed to depict them as the new underclass society that is not worth their existence in Malaysia.
Look up on genocide at http://www.hrweb.org/legal/genocide.html and you would realise in the modern era, a conceptual argument towards history cases and contemporary issues is a definition that we as individuals make out for ourselves when we argue on the predicament of the Malaysian Indians without admitting the reality that they face.
Rather than looking at the intention and the perpetrators, most would look for a structured conflict based on historic cases and individual conception although the reality does bite the bullet for the majority Malaysian Indians in Malaysia.
Whichever way you look at it, when violations or crimes against humanity is undertaken by the state in any form to deprive humanity to survive, genocide and cleansing do occur only that we tend to measure it by our own conception.
Now looking at the http://www.humanrightspartymalaysia.com/2010/01/09/the-malaysian-indian-minority-human-rights-violations-annual-report-2009/. I feel there is a concerted effort by the government in exercising genocide against the Malaysian Indians. Most of the details entailed in this report are factual as they are procured through major government controlled newspapers such as Star, NST, Malay Mail, Utusan Malaysia, Berita Harian, Bernama news that clearly indicates on the deprivation of a Malaysian Indian in participating in the socio development of Malaysia through oppressive government policies.
For example how does it make sense in Malaysia, that UiTM that only allows Malay Muslim to enroll in its university but nevertheless allocates 10% of foreign students of the Muslim belief into their university when deserving Malaysian students from other beliefs are deprived even if they qualify? Is Onemalaysia religious based?
Even if the Malaysian Indians were to pursue their education elsewhere, for instance in the field of medicine in various other countries through their own efforts, the government steps in to derecognize these universities because the students are of Malaysian Indian origin. If this is not indirect cleansing, then what is this?
There are many instances similar. Look at the agricultural field, FELDA is a giant, yet the Malaysian Indians were there initial contributors, yet there is a systematic exclusion of these Malaysians in participation or in the plans of the government.
Biro Tata Negara (BTN) and latest brazen torching of the churches only further indicates the state of affairs that is being conducted by the government. Whether it is an indirect genocide or cleansing is a subjective approach that each Malaysian should take heed and protect each other from the modern day government that we have created.
Saying all these, nothing is going to change a status quo as a preferred Malay Muslim but that is not what those would desire as for for them being a Malaysian is a confluence of the ethnicity, culture, belief without infringing another what they rightly deserve that has molded them to be a part for a better Malaysia.
The government has been the forerunner in various blatant provocation based on its own volition, but it is up to us as individual to recognize the flaws to create and make the change for the society. At present, the Malaysian Indians do face a dilemma in an indirect form of genocide and cleansing, and we as Malaysian need to hold the fort and forge together in entertain their needs to participate in the socio development of Malaysia.

Malaysian Gurdwara Council: No law prohibiting use of 'Allah' for non-Muslims - Malaysiakini
Its president Harcharan Singh said the preamble to the Selangor Non Muslim Enactment 1988 states that the law is meant to control and restrict the propogation of non-Islamic religious doctrines and beliefs among persons professing the Islamic faith.
Harcharan said, however, when the Selangor Islamic Council president Mohamad Adzib Mohd Isa's statement was reported in the New Straits Times on Jan 12, the preamble to the section was dropped."These words are vital to show the prohibition is only against usage of such words as 'Allah' to propogate among Muslims."
"There is no law to stop non-Muslims from using it in their own publications meant for members of their own faith," said Harcharan.
He said High Court judge Lau Bee Lan made it clear in her judgment that the publication or use of the term 'Allah' is only prohibited if it is meant to propogate non-Islamic faiths to Muslims.
Look at historical perspective
Harcharan appealed to everyone to look at the present issue from the historical and the federal constitution viewpoint.
"Furthermore, the enactments passed are state laws and can never over-ride the federal constitution."
"The detractors should consider the preamble to the 1988 Act which prohibits the usage of 'Allah' to propogate non-Islamic faiths among Muslims.
"Any argument for or against, should include the position of the federal constitution as Malaysia's supreme law," he said.
Harcharan, was referring to Selangor Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim's statement which appeared in The Sun today in which he was reported to have said that the enforcement of the law should be based on prevailing circumstance.
The New Straits Times, meanwhile, in its Tuesday edition quoted Mohamad Adzib as saying that there are laws prohibiting the use of the word by non-Muslims.
Harcharan said Perak was the first state to pass such a legislation called the "Control and Restriction of the Propagation of Non-Islamic Religions Bill 1988".
"After the enactment was passed, the Malaysian Consultative Council of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism and Sikhism (MCCBCHS) met the then prime minister to express its concern.
"The MCCBCHS also issued a statement where it viewed the restriction on non-Muslims as unconstitutional. Dr Mahathir Mohamad had then promised to look into the matter."
P.Uthayakumar’s biased Judge, Ops Padam Hindraf and ASP Vasanthakumar confirmed by DCP Akhril
P.Uthayakumar’s ethnic cleansing trial started today at 9.35 a.m with the continued Cross Examination of DCP Akhril Sani, the then Deputy CID Chief of Bukit Aman.
Even before P.Uthayakumar could finish his line of questioning, the Judge had ruled that his question was not relevant and another open argument and raising of voices.
The biased Judge was again trying to be difficult today but P.Uthayakumar told her off once again not to make it “too obvious”. This was followed by a staring match for a long 20 seconds after which the Judge told him to go on when.
During Cross Examination the incompetency, dishonesty and credibility of this very senior police officer DCP Akhril Sani and the Royal Malay-sian Police Force became very obvious when he
1) This police DCP testified that Exhibit P1 at page 1 was the picture of a dead man and his shirt was bleeding when he only produced a black white picture and never bothered to print a colour copy of the picture. When asked to point out the red blood that he had earlier testified on the black and white picture he could not answer.
2) A reporter had allegedly called him on 25/11/07 and told him of the posting in the Policewatch Malaysia website but he could not remember the name of the reporter, which press he was from ie English, Tamil, Chinese or Malay, his telephone number, he never lodged a police report even though he agreed that the allegation in the website was serious. P.Uthayakumar put it to him that the reporter never existed and that this police DCP was lying.
3) He does not remember who the CPO of KL was two years ago on 25/11/07.
4) Agreed that one person named Murugaiyah a/l Ratnam (65) was killed at the 25th November 2007 Hindraf peaceful assembly but the biased Judge disallowed P.Uthayakumar application for the police DCP to verify and confirm the Burial Certificate that was marked as “IDD-2”
5) Initially testified that he had never heard of the policewatchmalaysia website until 25/11/07 although he later agreed that this website criticizes the police force and UMNO.
6) Operasi Padam (wipe out) Hindraf was launched but led by the Special Branch. He agreed that under OPS Padam Hindraf, Hindraf was successfully declared unlawful in early 2008.
7) To a question that one ASP Vasanthakumar from the Police Special Branch E3 Division under the operational warfare was appointed and had been declared Hindraf leader by the IGP Tan Sri Musa Hassan on 13/12/07 and not by the Hindraf Chairman or its members when he was “strategically” arrested and detained together with the other four Hindraf lawyers, he agreed to the same.
The learned Judge disallowed P.Uthayakumar’s application for the police list of Indian victims shot dead and killed by police and death in police custody although the same was specifically referred to in the charge sheet
9) The learned DPP Noorin Badaruddin said that the request was a fishing expedition. P.Uthayakumar replied that the Attorney General (AG) should not have prosecuted P.Uthayakumar in the first place if they are not prepared to make public this shooting to kill list listing out all the Indian victims
10) This DPP Noorin submitted that even if a statement was true P.Uthayakumar has committed Sedition by saying it. To this P.Uthayakumar replied that by virtue of Article 145 of the Federal Constitution the A.G should have to act in the general public interest which includes not wrongly convicting P.Uthayakumar.
P.Uthayakumar remarked that the we are not in Zimbabwe where it would be all right if Robert Mugabe had instructed his DPP to this effect but in Malaysia justice the rule of law has to prevail.
11) Lawyer N.Surendran however clarified that by virtue of Section 3(2) (a) of the Sedition Act if the intention is to point out an error of defects of the state or a fair comment then it is justified and not Sedition. And that this P.Uthayakumar’s prosecution is done with mala fide and is politically motivated. That the DPP’s submission is that even if P.Uthayakumar spoke the truth, he is to be sent to jail anyway is not in the interest of Justice. He cannot be punished for speaking the truth. “This is not only the law but also common sense”.
12) The other assisting lawyer Charles Hector submitted that the witness cannot remember and should be given the opportunity to show the court this list of Indians shot dead and killed by the police.
The DPP asked for an adjournment to make further submissions. The Court adjourned this matter to 9.30 a.m tomorrow (15/1/10).
The court sessions ended at 1.05 p.m.
By then P.Uthayakumar had been on his feet for about 3/1/2 hours continuously from 9.35 a.m to 1.05 p.m. But this did not deter him. He came out of the dock smiling and unscathed and knowing that he will be sentenced to jail in any event because the Judge has got UMNO’s orders to convinct P.Uthayakumar and not based on the facts law and justice.
Kandasamy.
