Interlok: TPM bohongi rakyat, dakwa Pengerusi Niat

Niat tidak akan teragak-agak untuk mengheret Muhyiddin ke mahkamah.

KUALA LUMPUR: Pengerusi Badan Bertindak Interlok Kebangsaan (Niat), Haji Thasleem Mohamed Ibrahim mendakwa Timbalan Perdana Menteri Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin telah membohongi rakyat Malaysia berhubung isu buku kontroversi, Interlok edisi murid.

“Muhyiddin di dalam sesi Parlimen pada 24 Mac menyatakan bahawa Jemaah Menteri bersetuju agar Interlok terus diguna pakai tetapi tiada seorang pun yang menjelaskan pendirian mereka.”

“Seterusnya Muhyiddin berkata keputusan penggunaan Interlok berterusan adalah muktamad namun akhbar Sinar Harian melaporkan

Muhyiddin sebagai berkata bahawa Interlok hanya akan digunakan selepas pindaan dilaksanakan.”

Thasleem turut berkata bahawa Niat tidak akan teragak-agak untuk mengheret Muhyiddin untuk membuktikan penipuan yang dibuat pemimpin kedua tertinggi negara itu.

Justeru itu, Thasleem mencabar Muhyiddin menjalankan pungutan suara untuk memperoleh pandangan rakyat Malaysia kerana pandangan yang diterima beliau dari peringkat akar umbi jelas menunjukkan rakyat menentang penggunaan buku tersebut.

Thasleem turut membidas kenyataan Muhyiddin yang mengatakan bahawa pihak yang membangkitkan isu Interlok merupakan ancaman kepada keselamatan negara.

“Siapa yang jadikan buku ini satu isu? Muhyiddin ialah puncanya. Muhyiddin ialah ancaman kepada negara,” tegas beliau.

Mengapa politikus India, mufti berdiam diri?

Beliau turut menjelaskan bahawa pemimpin politik keturunan India masih belum memberi sebarang reaksi kepada pengumuman tersebut.

Sehubungan itu, Thasleem bertegas mahu mengetahui pendirian Presiden MIC, Dato’ G Palanivel yang mahukan Interlok dihentikan penggunaannya tetapi menikus seribu bahasa.

“Bagi MIC, isu mereka hanya perkataan ‘paria’ tapi bagi kita seluruh buku ini salah,” ujar beliau.

Beliau menambah bahawa sekiranya Palanivel gagal bersuara mereka akan membangkitkan isu yang mengejutkan dalam beberapa minggu.

Thasleem juga memberitahu sidang media bahawa beliau menunggu reaksi mufti negeri Selangor, Wilayah Persekutuan dan Negeri Sembilan berhubung isu ini.

“Saya beranggapan mereka tidak memberi reaksi kepada surat-surat yang saya tulis kerana mereka bersetuju dengan pandangan saya bahawa Interlok bertentangan dengan agama Islam.”

Kepada Gabungan Penulis Nasional (Gapena) dan Pertubuhan Pribumi Perkasa Malaysia (Perkasa) yang menyokong penggunaan Interlok, Thasleem menggesa agar mereka mengkaji perkara ini dari perspektif Islam.

Sementara itu, ahli jawatankuasa Niat, A Rajaretinam berkata bahawa kerajaan pimpinan Barisan Nasional akan menghadapi natijah besar sekiranya memperlekehkan permintaan masyarakat India agar Interlok digugurkan.

Niat bercadang untuk menghadap Sultan Selangor, Yang Dipertuan Besar Negeri Sembilan dan Yang Dipertuan Agong sebagai salah satu jalan untuk menghentikan penggunaan Interlok di sekolah.

Mereka juga bercadang menghantar memorandum kepada Menteri Besar Selangor dan Negeri Sembilan dalam tempoh terdekat.

Isu kontroversi Interlok timbul pada Disember tahun lalu hingga membawa kepada penubuhan panel bebas dalam bulan Januari.

Seterusnya lebih dari 100 saranan telah diterima untuk dibuat pindaan dalam buku tersebut namun Niat tetap membantah atas pelbagai sebab.

Seeking EU’s help for Borneo natives, Indians

Of Borneo's over 18 million population, 10 million live in poverty despite the island being rich in natural resources.

THE HAGUE: The Dutch parliament’s Foreign Relations Committee (FRC) was yesterday briefed on the widespread religious and economic discrimination against natives in Borneo.

Sabah-based Common Interest Group Malaysia (CigMa) said more than 10 million of Borneo’s over 18 million population lived in poverty despite the region being rich in land, timber, gas and oil.

Speaking to the FRC committee, CigMa secretary-general Kanul Gindol said Borneo is the “most divided island in the world”.

“Borneo is the third largest island in the world but it is the most divided island in the world.

“It is ruled by three countries – Brunei, Malaysia and Indonesia. Seven states or provinces are under the Kingdom of Brunei.

“Malaysia has the states of Sabah and Sarawak and the four huge Kalimantan provinces come under Indonesian rule.

“All seven states or provinces are each very very rich in natural resources like timber, gas, oil and fertile lands. But the natives are very poor.

“Something is very wrong and must be corrected…We are here to seek help and call for more international understanding of the peculiarities of our problems in Borneo,” Gindol told parliamentarians Kathleen G Ferrier from the Christian Democratic Party and Raymond de Roon of the Party for Freedom.

Gindol and CigMa president Daniel John Tambun and Hindraf chairman, P Waythamoorthy, have been meeting up with European Union (EC) parliamentarians and government officials at The Hague (Holland) and Brussels (Belgium) this week to drum up support from the international community to accelerate progress and social justice for the natives in Borneo and the marginalised Indians in Malaysia.

‘Eye-opening’

Both Ferrier and De Roon said that they would bring the Borneo matter to the attention of their colleagues in the Dutch parliament.

While De Roon thanked the delegation for their “eye-opening presentation”, Ferrier said: “Today we learnt a lot from you about your people’s plights and we would want to know what your people would want us to do to help…”

Both Jambun and Gindol were focused on highlighting the persistent hindrances to progress and justice to the natives of Borneo, in particular Sabah and Sarawak, while Waythamoorthy briefed the FRC on the plight of minority Indians in Malaysia.

Jambun in his presentation titled “The Disenfranchisement of bona fide Sabahans”, outlined the perennial problems plaguing Sabahans, especially the presence of millions of illegal immigrants from southern Philippines and Indonesians in Sabah.

Jambun said the federal government was not making any effort to address the issue and that it had made many, especially the natives, to believe that it was a ploy to re-engineer the demographic of Sabah which was previously a predominantly Christian state.

“This issue of illegal immigrants in Sabah became well-known for its link to a former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who stands accused of giving Malaysian identification cards to these Muslim immigrants.

“We the natives are being outnumbered by the immigrants who are taking a lot of opportunities from us with the full knowledge of the federal government. We are being disenfranchised as bona fide Sabahans,” Jambun said.

Respect minority religions, Cheng told

KL and Selangor Chinese Chamber chief's call to do away with Deepavali and Wesak day holidays uncalled for, says Hindu Sangam.

KUALA LUMPUR: William Cheng, the chairman of the KL and Selangor Chinese Chamber of Commerce, was criticised for urging the government to remove Deepavali and Wesak Day as public holidays.

“It’s a Hindu’s right to celebrate Deepavali, just like the Chinese their New Year. What does Cheng know or understand about Deepavali? asked Hindu Sangam president RS Mohan Shan.

Recently, in reports carried by Tamil newspapers Makkal Osai and Malaysia Nanban, Cheng complained about too many public holidays in Malaysia and said they were bad for business.

He then urged the government to remove Deepavali and Wesak Day holidays from the list of public holidays because they were celebrated by minorities.

“It’s not right for him to say that about a religious festival,” said Mohan, who added that out of 17 public holidays, Deepavali was just the one day given to the Hindu community.

His sentiments were echoed by Reverend Thomas Philips, president of the Malaysian Consultative Council of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism and Taoism (MCCBCHST).

Thomas said Cheng’s statement smacked of disrespect for the religion.

“It’s not a question of majority or minority. Everybody should be treated as equal in this multireligious, multiracial society,” he said.

Thomas called on all communities to recognise and respect religions different from their own.

“We’ve been living with these holidays all along. The question of business should not arise as we should view the holidays as a long-term investment which brings diversity and peace.”

He said out that holidays were good for the economy as people shopped more during such events.

Approximately 87% of the 1,970,000 Indians in Malaysia are Hindus. Additionally, 19.2% of Malaysia’s population is Buddhist, although if combined with Chinese religions it can go up to 21.6%.

Pergaduhan kaum: Pengetua lepas tangan, kata bapa pelajar

Pergaduhan antara pelajar India dan Melayu berpunca dari panggilan berunsur menghina.

SHAH ALAM: Seorang bapa kepada pelajar di sebuah sekolah menengah di sini melahirkan rasa kecewa berikutan kegagalan pengetua sekolah berkenaan menangani masalah pelajar-pelajarnya sehingga mencetuskan pergaduhan berunsur perkauman.

Stephen Perumal Velu berkata, kes terbaru berlaku pagi tadi yang melibatkan pergaduhan besar berikutan sekumpulan pelajar memanggil pelajar kaum India dengan kata-kata kasar dan menghina.

“Saya menerima panggilan daripada anak saya sekitar pukul 10.30 pagi lalu bergegas ke sekolah,” kata beliau yang juga bekas Ahli Jawatankuasa Persatuan Ibu Bapa dan Guru (PIBG) sekolah berkenaan ketika ditemui di hadapan sekolah itu sekitar pukul 11.00 pagi tadi.

Beliau berkata, “saya tanya pengetua mengapa masalah pergaduhan kaum kerap berlaku sejak kebelakangan ini tetapi jawapannya tidak memuaskan kerana beliau menyalahkan pelajar kaum India.”

Walau bagaimanapun Stephen mendakwa bahawa anaknya berkata bahawa kumpulan pelajar Melayu menghina kumpulan pelajar India dengan memanggil mereka menggunakan perkataan ‘Keling Paria’.

Pada waktu itu, beberapa polis dan ibu bapa pelajar sudah berkumpul di hadapan pintu masuk sekolah selepas mendapat tahu apa yang berlaku.

“Saya tanya kepada Yang Dipertua PIBG dan dia kata dia dan pengetua sedang selesaikan isu itu.

“Tapi tiba-tiba seramai 26 pelajar diserahkan oleh pengetua kepada polis untuk dibawa ke balai polis untuk disiasat,” katanya sebelum beliau sendiri bergegas ke balai polis kerana anaknya turut ditahan polis.

Tinjauan wartawan FMT di hadapan sekolah itu pada jam 12.30 tengah hari mendapati suasana tenang.

Wartawan cuba menghubungi pejabat sekolah untuk mendapatkan maklumat tetapi diberitahu oleh pihak sekolah bahawa “saya tak tahu, tak ada apa-apa berlaku di sekolah”.

Apabila wartawan FMT menghubungi Stephen melalui telefon pada 1.00 tengah hari, beliau masih berada di balai polis.

Pelajar-pelajar diberi taklimat

“Kesemua 23 pelajar India dan tiga pelajar Melayu sedang diberi taklimat dan saya diberitahu bahawa keterangan mereka akan diambil sebelum dibenarkan balik.

“Saya sangat kecewa kerana anak saya dan pelajar lain yang tidak bersalah dibawa ke balai polis sedangkan pelajar yang benar-benar mencetuskan pergaduhan masih ada di sekolah,” katanya.

Menurutnya, pengawas sekolah telah menyerahkan kepada polis satu senarai nama pelajar yang benar-benar terlibat dalam pergaduhan itu tetapi mereka tidak dipanggil untuk siasatan.

“Apa yang dilakukan puan pengetua dan YDP PIBG sudah keterlaluan dan sengaja menimbulkan pergaduhan antara kaum.

“Saya akan berbincang dengan semua ibu bapa pelajar terbabit dan akan membuat laporan polis selepas polis melepaskan anak saya dan pelajar lain,” katanya.

Tinjauan wartawan FMT pada pukul 1.30 tengahari mendapati beberapa anggota polis ditempatkan di hadapan sekolah. FMT cuba menghubungi pengetua sekolah tersebut untuk mendapatkan komen tetapi tidak berjaya.

Satu pergaduhan turut berlaku sebelum ini melibatkan seorang pelajar Tingkatan Tiga dan lapan pelajar Tingkatan Empat di sekolah berkenaan.

DYMM Sultan Perak has constitutional duty by Article 153 (Second Limb) to also safeguard interest of Indian poor.

Sultan of  Perak Sultan Azlan Shah yesterday cautioned that the country could face a perilous future if racial and religious issues continue to take centre stage and played up to incite hate among the people.

The UMNO regime must take heed of this DYMM Sultan of Perak who was also the former Lord President and forthwith stop all their acts of racism and religious supremacy especially targeted against the Indian poor.
By virtue of the Second limb of Article 153 of the Federal Constitution we appeal to DYMM the Sultan of Perak on the occasion of His royal Highness Raja Azlan Shah’s 83rd Birthday to also safe guard the interest of the Indian poor who are inflicted with very serious acts of racism and religious supremacy by the UMNO led Malay-sian government on a day to day basis as is documented and reported in

SELF RESPECT AND DIGNITY

By Johnson Doss,

We all have self respect and we want it to be stronghold of our lives . Self Respects starts from ourselves first before it shines to others to see what kinda of creation are we and through that we earn respect, love, care and someone whom people like to be with. Many people look for it outside waiting for others to recognize it but usually others don't see it in us because of our attitude, character and the way we deal with people at large. 

Mohandas Gandhi is one person i usually take as my motivator . With his style of living, fighting for independence of India, humanity and humbleness, he is know as Mahatma..... His statue is erected even in London as a sign of respect to this earthly man. The white's have so much of respect for him even though they have persecuted him many many times. In the movie Ghandhi, even the judge stands up to respect this small build man. He was a man of dignity which the world will testify. His dignity after many many years and generations to come, will remember him as the MAN OF SELF RESPECT AND DIGNITY. 

That is what respect all about. Today how many of us have taken the pledge to be like this man, Gandhi. Do we have principals in our life's ? Let's ask ourselves first. I see many (including me) not sure where we stand in the first place. We think we know but the actual fact we don't know . 

To give u an example of earn respect ...follow me as i tell u this true story

Chitra Pronami was held in Teluk Intan on 17th and 18th April 2011. Mr Utayakumar and Mr. Jayathas was there to build the awareness to the people who came for the celebration. Our Tent was the biggest compared to Gerakan on our right and DAP / PAKATAN on our left. They are only quarter of our size . During the celebration MP's like YB Kulasegaran, YB Manoharan and YB Sivanesan was in the DAP tent distributing packed food and drinks. this MP's was there for about 2 to 3 hours max. after that they were all missing in action. As for Gerakan camp, I didn't see any MP's there at all. they too giving out drinks. As for HRP camp (tent) we have many posters and Video slides that hails about our struggles and fight against the government and the police force . We had big speakers facing the crowd and each time the voices of "Hapuskan Interlok" and Polis Kejam was heard loud and clear to all worshipers. We have even many visitors coming to our tent and asking questions about our quest for eradicate Indian's sufferings. People in Teluk Intan would justify that HRP and Hindraf was one strong team as our Teluk Intan and Perak group work around the clock to make sure all is in order. Our Teluk Intan guys even served free Rabina too all worshipers . they chipped in from their own pockets to serve more then 2,000 people. To remind all of us , that the Teluk Intan group consist of 5 to 8 strong members only. I saw the Rabina bottle and it was about RM78 ringgit a bottle and they have a case full for this purpose. 

These simple guys from Teluk Intan have earned our respect especially from Mr Utaya and Mr Jayathas as they are just a normal working guys. They show us simplicity of love and care for Indian worshipers. They did all these not for self glory or to get praises but they did it for Indian's whom i can see burning in thier hearts and soul .... A simple sacrifice of this guys make them well respected by the community. 

This is what i meant of Respect earned and its builds self respect for themselves and us all to gather. i notice the joy of serving Indian's in their eyes. My heart and my salute goes to this young men from Teluk Intan . 

If we all want to learn about self respect then we should learn it from this young man's. Through self respect they found Dignity ... as Gandhi did.

We today, are facing the same struggles as Indian's in Malaysia. 

Are we ready to stand up for our DIGNITY and RESPECT to be treated fairly and whats deemed our rights to be given back to us ....

Lets put our hands togather to support Human Right Party ( HRP ) leaders as we prepare ourselves for an uphill battle against racism against Indian's. Lets start helping and contributing to our Indian struggles.

Nothing can be done without money as we all know that very well ... as some of our brothers who fought for us in the interlok issue still haven't come out with bail money. They did all this rallies and car convey for us Indians and our children, so aren't we too be responsible to help to raise the bail money for our brave HRP supporters . Lets not waste time, just donate a RM1, RM2 , RM 5. RM 10 or whatever amount we can afford to support our Indian brothers and supporters. 

I don't think that as how poor we can be , that a sum of RM 1 ringgit ,RM2 ,

RM 5. RM 10 will make us poorer . 

Be like the Chinese , when they are faced with a problem or issue , they will not hesitate to donate for a good cause whe involves a brother of them ..why can't we imitate them in doing the same.

SO TO BE COME RESPECT AND DIGNIFIED , TO SOMETHING FOR YOUR OWN INDIAN COMMUNITY..... MAY GOD BLESS US ALL

ALL DONATIONS BE FORWARDED TO :-

Police kidnapped Indian youths who then disappears in thin air a la Bangsar Shan.

Last week we received a distress call from a Hindraf/HRP supporters that a group of UMNO Malay-sian Polis Raja Di Malay-sia members had arrested a group of for Indian youths who were having drink at a café.
The next day the blood stained car was found and the lift lobby splattered with blood.
And now these Indian youths have just disappeared in thin air despite their families having lodged a police report.
Crime rate coming down in Malay-sia?

Racist UMNO DBKL: Why only relocate “ethnically cleanse” Cochrane Hindu temple. Why not relocate suraus and masjids as well in One Malay-sia?

Why pick on Hindu temples and that too for a mere temporary relocation and only to be demolished anyway in due course! This is despite the Federal Territory  Ministry giving a parliamentary undertaking that no more Hindu temples would be demolished anymore. But the racist UMNO implementation is another thing all together. And the use of the MIC Deputy Minister Indian mandore to do this UMNO dirty job.
Why can’t all Hindu temples like any other masjids and surau in One Malay-sia be granted permanent land and permanent status and thereby a permanent solution?
As opposed to this racist UMNO temporary relocation solution with the view to be ultimately “ethnically cleansed”.

CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY IN MALAYSIA trial at International Criminal Court in The Hague? Arrest P.M Najib Razak on overseas travel! – Dr. Raj Ghandhi, USA.

In this day and age it is hard to imagine a natural born child being denied a birth certificate and citizenship of a country of his/her birth. But that is exactly what happens to a Hindu child born in Malaysia. The State refuses to issue the birth certificate and keeps on finding useless and flimsy excuses. The child grows up to school age, and school refuses admission because the child does not have the birth certificate. Muslim children do not face this problem.

I was aware of some discrimination against Hindus in Malaysia who form about 7% of the population. I did not know about the wanton nature of this discrimination until I attended a lecture – presentation by Waytha Moorthy at the Global Mall in Atlanta, Georgia on the evening of 1st April, 2011, thanks to the India Awareness Foundation. My wife and I, along with everyone else in the audience were appalled with what we saw and heard that evening. How can a nation deny fundamental human rights to its own natural born citizens based on religion, and harass, physically abuse, imprison and torture them if they try to assemble peacefully and legally for a legitimate cause? On what basis does the government of Malaysia justify demolition of old Hindu temples which have been there for centuries? On what basis does it deny Hindus their right to worship and build temples?

Obviously the government of Malaysia is engaged in the practice of religious discrimination and criminal oppression of Hindu minorities.

In my view the Prime Minister and the King of Malaysia must be tried for crimes against humanity in the International Criminal Court in The Hague or any other court of law, if possible. Having been successfully tried and convicted, they will become pariah in the eyes of many nations and will face the risk of possible arrest during their international travel. The publicity created by all this will be a bonus and act as a legitimate pressure on the government of Malaysia to bring about necessary reforms and restore fundamental human rights to its Hindu minorities. If no court of law is available, their crimes must be exposed fully so that they face trial in the court of public opinion. Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International should take a leading role in this matter.

I admire and condone the efforts of Waytha Moorthy and others who have taken the worthy cause of fighting for their civil rights and the civil rights of fellow citizens who are being discriminated and mistreated by the government authorities. I urge the UNO and its member states to offer all possible help in this matter. I also urge the US government to exercise its political and moral authority to bring the necessary pressure to bear on the government of Malaysia to ensure long awaited civil right reforms for its minorities.

For my part, I wish Waytha Moorthy et al good luck and give them my best to succeed in this struggle. I also pray God to give Malaysian rulers some wisdom, sense of justice and fairness, and an element of conscience so that they may treat all their citizens equally, without any form of discrimination.

Indian's and their struggles - AM I AN INDIAN ?????

By Johnson Doss

Being an Indian is like an disadvantage in Malaysia ... the struggles each Indian goes through each day is unbearable . Be it a professional or a laborer, we see that many obsticals and challenges we face in carrying out daily routines. We see many Indian people and hear many suffering here and there BUT not many willing to help . Forget about other races but even an Indian just make don't know when it is highlighted to them .. The feelings of One race and brotherhood doesn't much exist in our Indian Blood nowadays. More Indian's are living in this country taking care of their own life's, their work, their finances and their children and their wife only. they seems not bothered whats happening to another Indian's plight ... I wonder why these happening here ????

I might be wrong and correct me if i am .. I think that we are becoming selfish people and the heart of sharing, caring , loving is slowly dying in our Indian community nowadays. Indian's used to be the most caring and helpful people at one time no matter what the religion of his neighbor, he will the first to give his assistance to them. But today, all this have diminished in thin air..

The mentality of such people is seen nowadays and only when a problem or a issue that doesn't favour them comes emerging then only they start looking for Indians for help ... Many Indians in middle class statues are living in such denial ..BUT when his or her kids whom performed well getting 10A in SPm examination for instance and refused a place of a seat in university then they come out to make noises blaming other people. They blame the indian parties or leaders for not doing thier job ... BUT in fact from the beginning they are not bothered when they hear another Indian kid who also did well in SPM refused a place in the University.

That's how it is with our people ... when a crisis hit hard and that's where they look for support from other Indians... before that they are not bothered whether to lift their fingers to help another poor Indians.

GOD is great ... that's why i believe ... He wanted this kinda of people to learn the lesson from happenings in their own family. I believe all of us will go through this one day and we face the consequences when we are turned down by the authorities even tho our kids deserved a rightful place in university . to poor oil into the fire , GOD will show them (including me) that moment of our frustration , seeing a malay guy with only 4A get a place in the same university that we were turned away . How would we feel at that moment of time ????

No one can live alone in this world ... thats why we have brothers, sisters , relatives , friends and community . We need to give as we one day too need to receive. If we ignore a plight of another Indian then be sure we too will be ignored when we face a difficulty...

Today, we face many obstacles in Malaysia as an Indian ..to name few are as followings :-
1. IC and Birth certificates for kids . Few days ago in Media it was highlighted about 8 kids standing outside of the school gate not allowed to continue thier studies just because they uneducated parents didn't bother to take it when thier kids were borne.. Is it so difficult for the education state officer to check with the hospital and the National IC dept about thier parents by providing their late parents IC Numbers to see whether they are Malaysian or not ... If they are then why can't allow then continue studying and help them getting the proper Birth certs. A easy as ABC problem solved with just a phone call ....

How many Indian's voice it out to the newspapers or went there to assist this poor kids. Only a handful including Dato Siva Subramaniam and Hindraf state leaders ....

2. The Interlok issue - Many of us Indian's didn't like how the education panel together with Dewan Bahasa used words that have offended many Indian's in Malaysia. We have about few million Indian's in Malaysia (including me) just kept quiet and it became a coffee shop talk only ...banging tables and shouting about it .. How many of us took concrete steps to protest on the interlok issue ... We Indian's didn't even lift a finger to address the issue , so are our so called Indian MP'S . If these Indian MP's no matter which parties they belong to ..just staged a walk out on these issue ..i would salute them but no one did that BUT when Dato Anwar was suspended from the parliament many Pakatan MP's followed him and walk out of parliament .... ARE THESE INDIAN POLITICIAN'S JUST NAME SAME POLITICIAN FOR INDIAN'S IN MALAYSIA.... IS IT ????
Where are they belongings to .... to the Indian people who voted for them or their leader who was suspended ???? The same goes to the MIC leaders too.
Where were each one of us when this issue was a hot problem concerning our Indian children and our community . Why didn't we stand for our rights then ,,, why did we chicken out .... so afraid that our livelihood would be effected.. am i right is saying this ????

3. Business licenses - We see all around our vicinity that a burger stall run by Malay youths . They too don't have proper license but no one bothers BUT have we seen a vadai stall run by poor Indian lady lately .... Sure No ... because they dont have license to operate. Then how this poor lady going to make her end meet .. Is it so difficult for Indian's to even to make a decent living .... We all know well that a vadai lady will not be rich and famous from the sales of vadai ...
Have we ever in our place of residing see such capable poor indian lady and help her to put up a vadai stall or a chapati stall .... No i guess,,,, We don't care actually ... that's our reasoning ... Why can't we Indian's get to gather in our area and help such people to do business.... Is it to much to ask of us ????
I Haven't had a gud vadai for ages now .... and wish more mushroom of vadai and capati stalls will be around for us to have tea in the evening with some karipap and vadai .... ( There are many businesses where Indian's are denied not only vadai stall for your information)

4. University seats for deserving indian students - Its very sad that many Indian best students in this country have no place in University but a Malay with 4A gets in easy .... When the issue is talked upon by our Indians ..we just with a sorrowful face answer calmly ... It is Malay rights and being frustrated for the past 30 years now ... My question is :-

a) Why can't protest what our kid's deprived of ...the basic education ?
b) Why can;t we staged a rally for Indian kids who are deprived ... your kids and mine too ...We all know that without proper a 1st degree our kids are not heading anywhere.
c) Stage a protest by not going to work perhaps .... close all indian shops for this purpose .... bring down the economic stand still .... teachers refuse to attend school, lawyer and doctor take the day off .... and we all meet for a picnic in Lake gardens . Won't that sent a strong message to the government .

5. Many more issues .... land issue , temple issue , burial grounds and many more pressing issues ....

I am not condemning us BUT i am highlighting the problems our Indian brothers and sisters facing all around Malaysia ... making us realize that we too have to play our part in building our Indian community ...No matter you are a lawyer, doctor, professionals, restoran owners, a civil servant , a laborer, a policeman, a fish monger or any job we are doing .... We have to get united by building our Indian communities in our residing areas, our city, our township and our nation as large.

Fight racism within ourselves first before we go out there... facing other races and the government for our rights to be given to us as we deserved. We are not asking for heaven , all we asking is for a decent livelihood to make a living and basic necessity. We too worked and pay taxes so we too deserve to be served in a proper manner as a human .

Many leaders are not doing their duties as our representatives in Parliament as they are mere followers of their leaders of the coalition ... but ... we voted them for standing up for us, Indians. Why do we need them if they are not bothered about the plight of Indian community ...even putting them again will be our biggest mistake again and again ...

Look at leaders who fight for indians, who dare to stand and demand the government to give Indian our rights deemed, leaders who are in and out of jail for the cause of another Indian .... Willing leaders to champion poor Indian issues like land issue, University Seats, Burial grounds, employment , basic necessities like welfare for poor deserving Indians, temples , churches , education and elevating the standard of living for youths and young Indian boy's and girls.

WHO ARE THE LEADERS FIGHTING FOR ALL THIS NOWADAYS SINCE 2007 ????
WHO ARE THE LEADERS DEMANDING ALL THESE FOR INDIANS TODAY???

Ask yourselves brothers and sisters ...and the answer in within your heart .

May GOD bless all Indians and our struggles in getting our deserved rights

HUMAN RIGHT PARTY - RIGHTS NOT MERCY

Indian poor poorer than Orang Asli, Kadazan Iban countrary to popular belief!

Indian poor are poorer than Orang Asli, Kadazan Iban countrary to popular believe, but gets the least attention by UMNO, PKR, DAP, PAS, NGOs and the Malaysian civic society. While we have maintained that the Indian poor in effect are poorer than the Orang Asli, Kadazan or Iban poor, this latest case of a 74 year old lady Ammakannu Munusamy is the clearest example yet ever.
In her sunset years Ammakannu, 74, a former plantation worker is being denied even the very basic welfare help or low cost flat (public housing) help. All because she is a poor Malaysian Indian.
Ammakannu’s home is a mere temporary attap roof, three attap walls, four small three trunks holding the roof and even no cement floor with the ground being the top soil in Kampong Tan Sri Manickavasagam, Pulau Carey, Selangor. Her home has no electricity or water supply and she probably relies on rain water as drinking water. She has no if not meagre personal possessions and that too her one or two pairs of change of clothes.
A picture speaks a thousand words. This picture below speaks of the thousands of mysteries Ammakannu is going through on a day to day basis.
R. Kaniappan (60) and his wife P. Nagambal (59) living in an almost similar hut and surviving by eating the left over food thrown away by the local restaurant. Two weeks ago another Indian family of S. Saraswathy  because of hardcore poverty is forced to eat rice and porridge with salt being the side dish.
Some months ago three siblings of a single mother parent in Sungai Petani ate sand because of hunger. Indian poor city folks cannot even afford to pay their water bills and low cost flats of even RM 124 per month.
This case of Ammakannu and the others is just the tip of the iceberg of the Indian poor preserved as the poor and the creating of the future Indian poor by the UMNO controlled Malaysian regime @ junta.
An Indian poor is even poorer that those in Tamil Nadu, India or Bangladesh foreign workers in Malaysia because at the end of their working stint in Malaysia, they all have a village to go back to in Tamilnadu India or Bangladesh.
The Orang Asli, Kadazan, Iban and poor Malays all have their traditional villages and ancestral land as their social safety net which the Malaysian Indian poor do not have. The Orang Asli, Kadazan, Iban and Malay poor can open up as much land as they want next to their villages for agriculture or lifestock breeding which option is never available to an Indian poor
The Orang Asli and the rest have their community and/or family support which the childless destitute Indian poor in Malaysia do not have. The Indian poor in Malaysia most often end up in the likes of Ammakannu, Kaniappan, Nagambal etc. The reality is for most of them only death can relieve them of their day to day misery. The 600% higher suicide rate among the Indians when compared to the Malays may explain this.
Providing welfare to the hardcore poor, the destitute and the handicapped is the basic duty of any government, but Umno has deliberately failed the Indians.
UMNO has somehow succeeded in hiding this fact from all and sundry so much so that very few Malaysians including the Indian elite want to lend voice to these Indian poor.
And by the Malaysian civil society standards unlike the western civil society, none or very little see these Indian poor or want to see these Indian poor.
And when HRP and Hindraf points out this level of Indian poverty we turn in get accused of being racist including by Anwar Ibrahim and the Indian elite to avoid, divert and dilute a very serious problem but with the least political mileage or to be wanting to be seen as politically correct.

Indian group sore with DBP over Bahasa dictionary

KUALA LUMPUR, April 17 — An Indian literature group has accused the Education Ministry of denying non-Malays rights to Bahasa Malaysia by saying the Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) dictionary belonged only to Malays and cannot be questioned by other races.

Kayvan Literary Group (Kayvan) president Uthaya Sankar SB said today the ministry’s stand showed it was trying to deny that the national language belonged to all Malaysians regardless of race.

“A response like this that represents the Malaysian government will surely frustrate noble attempts to raise the status and dignity of Bahasa Malaysia, as well as efforts to build Bangsa Malaysia,” he said in a statement.

This comes on the heels of the Education Ministry’s response to a report in Tamil daily Makkal Osai on March 31 that the Kamus Dewan contained words offensive to Indians.

The ministry’s statement had stressed that words in the Kamus Dewan must be seen from the Malay perspective and not from that of other races, pointing out it compiled words used in Bahasa Malaysia, including those borrowed from other languages like English, Chinese, Sanskrit, Tamil, Dutch and Arabic.

It said that all races in Malaysia must accept the fact that the Bahasa Malaysia dictionary reflects Malay language, customs and culture.

“There are words used daily that are regarded as obscene by other races but not to Malays. There are also words that are considered precious to Malays but seen as insulting by other races,” the statement by the ministry’s corporate communications unit said.

“All that is part of the customs and culture of the Malays and should not be questioned.”

DBP is under the supervision of the Education Ministry. The Kamus Dewan, first published by DBP in 1970, is now in its fourth edition.

Uthaya Sankar also pointed out today that the statement ran counter to the government’s goal of getting young people of all races to use Bahasa Malaysia, as well as efforts to get parents to send their children to national schools.

“The ministry should take steps to democratise Bahasa Malaysia and not restrict it to a particular race,” he said.

He warned that if no action is taken to clarify the misleading statement published on the ministry’s official online portal, Bahasa Malaysia risks being seen as a language that belongs to one race only.

Uthaya Sankar, nonetheless, said that Kayvan, founded in October 1999, will continue to uphold Bahasa Malaysia as the language of all Malaysians.

1Racist M’sia a success amongst youth

I was disgusted after I heard the story that was relayed to me by my daughter and it compelled me to write about it.

It seems that the indoctrination of racism into the minds of the rakyat, especially the Malays, does not stop at government departments nor BTN for the working adults but has steadily and surely gained a foothold in public colleges/universities and now even in sekolah menengah in Malaysia.

My daughter had attended an extra curricular society meeting in school recently.

During this meeting, the three teachers in charge of this society had announced that they have tickets to a certain event to be given out to students. However, due to limited tickets, they had suggested
drawing of lots. Which to me is fair and square.

Apparently, after the lots were drawn and tickets were distributed to the successful draws, some students were unhappy that they did not get the tickets.

What happened next disgusted me.

A Malay student who had failed to secure a ticket stood up and commented that tickets should have been distributed according to the race quota as practised in Malaysia! Imagine, this coming from a Form 4 student.

Even the three teachers were shocked to hear what that student had just said. The student also had a few supporters amongst her peers who agreed with her comment.

Fortunately, one of the teachers who is Malay, told the students that the school does not practise discrimination and that all students are equal and tickets given after the drawing of lots was fair and just. Hence the discussion on the matter should stop there.

Imagine, a secondary school 16-year-old having said this. She has not even begun working, so one would speculate she must have been told of her ‘rights’ either at home or by her racist peers or elders.

This is just one example in one form in one school, what might be the situation in the other forms across the schools? And worse, what if this is the attitude they have been hearing from their own teachers?

Imagine the detrimental impact to the future of this country with our youth showing such racist behaviour from such a young age?

Apparently, Najib’s 1Malaysia is not working and is proving to be so, what with Perkasa and other racist NGOs spewing racist comments that undermine his ‘efforts’.

The PM seems to stand alone with his so called ‘vision’, when some of his own Umno peers are distancing themselves from his vision.

Remember Muhyiddin’s comments, “I am a Malay first before I am a Malaysian”? And this guy plans to take over from Najib in the near future? What will Malaysia become? How do you expect all the races in Malaysia to live in harmony when some of us are painted as lesser than another race, that we are squatters, that we are undeserving because of our background and skin colour?

We, the non-Malays, have also contributed in one way or another through blood (the Emergency), sweat (toiling in tin mines, rubber estates and forest), tears (hardship and endurance) to help bring this country to where it is today.

Slowly but surely since 1970 and the NEP, we have seen severe discrimination of our social, economic, educational and political rights with no end in sight. Is this what 1Malaysia is about as professed by Najib?

Then, we might as well stay the way we are and just turn a blind eye towards the country, which is exactly what is happening now. Brain drain, migrations, flight of investment either local or foreign is all a result of the government’s racist and perverse policies that do not seem to be abating in the near future, especially with such young citizens already spewing the poison from their thoughts and mouths.

What the future holds, only God knows.
