1,000 poor Indians needing welfare registered in one day. This is the height of the Indian poor in Malaysia and also the real tip of the iceberg.

But this MIC Indian mandore has no powers to approve the government welfare help. He can only put up a wayang kulit that he is helping the Indians. The MIC mandore was shocked to see such a number of people registering, showing that the MIC was really out of touch with the ground reality, where poverty is widespread.
