VOH- Malaysian Indians are still Marginalised in Education Rights


Voice of Hindraf:
More foreign student were given opportunities in USM but where is the Malaysian Indians education right there ?

Comment from NST news-02July2008, pg 20

USM taken 115 foreign students from 13 countries, mostly to do post graduate studies (NST 02/07/08 pg 20).
But thousands of Indians are denied places in the local universities what more to do post graduate courses. UMNO would rather help foreign students prosper in their quest to make the Indians the new "coolie" (near slavery) by 2020 when Malaysia would become a fully developed country and the Malay Muslims the Masters.

Tamil School field snatched in Teluk Intan.

Shop lots built under PKR, DAP and PAS state government in Perak. The 73 year old Thiruvalluvar Tamil School in Teluk Intan football and playing field had been snatched up by the Teluk Intan Municipal Council to built shop lots (Tamil Nesan 12/06/08 pg 7).

This atrocity of this nature does not happen to any Malay or Chinese Schools in Malaysia. It only happens to Tamil Schools. Why? Because the Indians in this country are soft target and a target of being bullied by the UMNO controlled Malaysian Government. In civilized societies like in the West, minority's rights are protected by the majority.
But in UMNO controlled Malaysia, the Indians are bullied, taken advantage of and bulldozed with impunity at every available opportunity.
What even supposed multi racial PKR. DAP and PAS government in Perak stands by and watches quietly like UMNO. PKR, DAP and PAS does not care as it merely involves the politically, economically and not international attention drawing community.

TV3 on 11/06/08 at prime time news covered some Malay Muslim Felda settlers who had yet to be paid compensation of up to RM 800,000 for their land taken about eight years ago. Good coverage by TV 3 as some of the beneficiaries are old while others have passed away. But the very same TV 3 would not highlight the plight of this Tamil School or almost all of the critical Indian issues because again it involves merely the Indians.

The only solution forward is Indian political empowerment. People Power "Makkal Sakthi" have to act at the appropriate time.
