This new Indian crime surge phenomena only arose in the UMNO Dr. Mahathir era when the Indians were aggressively and deliberately excluded from the national mainstream development of Malaysia (see The Star 27/3/2010 at page N 32).
No Indian would want to indulge in a world of crime if he is for example given the business opportunity like the hundreds of thousands of business opportunities granted by UMNO to the Malays, starting from the burger stall, food and tidbit stalls at markets, government built food stalls, at high way rest areas, Petronas, Mobil, Esso, Shell, KFC, McDonalds, A&W, Baskins Robbins, Starbucks, Ayamas, and in the 450,000 Felda, Felcra, Risda, Fama, Mardi, Agropolition, Kejora, Dara, Ketengah 10 acre land ownership schemes etc.
Who would take to crime if he had ten acres to till and cows and goats to care for?
