Led astray by Hindraf leaders
By : Marc Lourdes
Hindraf protesters and police in a stand-off at Jalan Pudu in Kuala Lumpur yesterday morning.
GIVEN that Malaysia is a country of more than 60 ethnic and sub-ethnic groups, with a people who practise all the great religions of the world, its celebration of 50 years of independence in 2007 is something that we all can be proud of. There have been times when one ethnic group or another has felt marginalised or left out of the economic mainstream; just like today, there are Malaysian Indians who feel disenfranchised.
SO, YOU AGREE THAT THERE ARE ETHNIC GROUPS LEFT OUT AND MARGINALISED?...
But like the other ethnic groups, there are many Indians who have done very well and made it to the top rungs of their profession or in business: like Brickfields' T. Ananda Krishnan, shipping tycoon Tan Sri G. Gnanalingam and the aviation industry's Datuk Tony Fernandes.
DO YOU KNOW THAT ANANDA EARNS 90% OF THE INCOME PER CAPITA OF INDIANS IN MALAYSIA?...
Indians form seven per cent of the population but the number of Indian lawyers and doctors make up almost 20 per cent of the total in the country.
ARE YOU JEALOUS ABOUT THEIR SUCCESS THROUGH THEIR OWN SWEAT AND NOT BY GOVT HELP?...
However, that doesn't detract from the fact that many Indian youth, deprived of job and educational opportunities because of poverty or other reasons, are either unemployable, unemployed or have resorted to crime. Alcoholism and domestic violence are probably highest among the Indians.
YOU AGREE THAT MARGINALISATION AND SIDELINING OF ETHNIC INDIANS LEADS TO SUCH PROBLEM?...
As much as they may want to blame the government for their plight, the community cannot absolve itself of blame.
YOU KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT THE COMMUNITY...
We may all not have done enough but still, no Malaysian, whatever ethnicity, can say that the last 50 years have been one of systematic abuse, ethnic cleansing, prejudice and oppression.
YOUR FINDINGS ARE NOT IMPORTANT WHAT COUNTS IS THE SEARCH...
It may have taken a longer time to solve some problems faced by a particular community; it may have been too little to start with for others.
WHY IT TOOK 50 YEARS IS THE BIG QUESTION NOW?...
But to manipulate a people and convince them that they have been deliberately disenfranchised and marginalised is probably the most abhorrent thing any right-thinking person can do in multiracial, multi-religious Malaysia.
THAT'S PART OF YOUR CLAIM NOT OF THE RAKYAT...
And it is even more abhorrent and abominable if those manipulating the masses are those who have, despite the persecution they claim, received the opportunities that allowed them to become lawyers.
WHAT OPPORTUNITIES YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT?...
The provocateurs of the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) would certainly not win any prizes for standing up for the community. If they have done anything at all, it is to manipulate their community, disgrace their country, and tell such vile lies that even the most cynical of Malaysians would never believe.
WHO ARE YOU TO CALL HINDRAF AS PROVOCATEURS?...
Ethnic cleansing of the Indians; systematic killing of Indians by police they claimed. And when that failed, they said they did not rule out violence like in Sri Lanka. And these are the same people who carried photos of Mahatma Gandhi, claiming peaceful disobedience.
BEING MISINFORMED IS YOUR PROBLEM, YOUR UNDERSTANDING IS SHALLOW, YOU KNOWLEDGE IS POOR, IN TOTALITY YOU ARE SHORT SIGHTED...
Had they just focused on the genuine grouses and general unhappiness -- and there are many -- among the poor Malaysian Indians, they would have done a great service.
SINCE WHEN YOU BECAME THE UNOFFICIAL ADVISER TO HINDRAF?
But no. Yesterday, just like the first big rally they organised in November, the Hindraf leaders and organisers showed themselves to be what they really are: making themselves dubious heroes of the community by manipulating innocent people.
DUBIOUS HEROES? ONLY A SICK MAN AND DUBIOUS JOURNALIST LIKE YOU WILL THINK LIKE WISE, THEY BELONG TO HINDRAF AS HEROES...
They claimed they were going to hand over roses to the prime minister but they disobeyed the law and marched.
IF THE HOME MINISTER AND PDRM RESPECTED THE CHILDREN, APPROVED THE PERMIT, PARLIAMENT WOULD HAVE TURNED YELLOW AND RED ROSES GARDEN...BUT THE PM AND PDRM ARE TRYING TO PLAY THE POLITICAL GAME....
They said they would bring children and women to the rally. What really happened? There were no roses, hardly any children.
I THOUGHT YOU ARE SHALLOW MINDED BUT NOW IT SEEMS YOU ARE BLIND...GO READ THE NEWS ABOUT WOMEN AND CHILDREN BRUTALLY ARRESTED BY OUR POLICE, COWARDS...
And the organiser, P. Waytha Moorthy, was in London while the supporters faced off with the police.
HIS STAY OVERSEAS IS NON OF YOUR BUSINESS...
Waytha Moorthy, his brother Uthayakumar and the four other Hindraf leaders now detained under the Internal Security Act, did the same during the November rally.
YOUR STATEMENTS SHOWS THAT YOU ARE LIAR, COMPULSIVE LIAR...
They hid in air-conditioned comfort while thousands marched the streets defying police and taking the brunt of the water cannons and tear gas. They only came out when the protest was almost at its end and tried to claim glory.
IT IS YOU WHO SIT UNDER THE AIR-CON CONNING AND MANIPULATING THE TRUTH UNDER THE COMMAND OF YOUR PAYMASTER, UNETHICAL OF JOURNALISM...
Heroes?
YES, HINDRAF HEROES...
What kind of heroes are they? Instead of uniting the Indians, they further divide them by separating Hindu from non-Hindu Indians. Christian Indians, Muslim Indians, Sikhs, Sindhis, Buddhists -- are they not good enough for the Hindraf leaders?
HINDRAF DOESN'T SEPARATE ANYONE, INSTEAD THE PLATFORM IT STAND TO FIGHT FOR ALL HUMAN KIND IS HINDUISM. READ MORE SO THAT YOU CAN SHARPEN YOUR SKILL...
Have they helped the Indians at all? Even the media in India, to which these Hindraf leaders went running to seek sympathy against their own country, said these leaders had done more damage to the Malaysian Indian cause than help.
INDIAN MEDIA IS NOT LIKE MALAYSIAN MEDIA WHO BEHAVE LIKE SLAVE TO THE RULING PARTY. IN INDIA THEY WRITE WITHOUT FEAR OR FAVOUR. MALAYSIAN MEDIA IS A SHAME TO JOURNALISM...
The fact is that there are 10 members of parliament from the Indian community -- nine from the Malaysian Indian Congress and one from the People's Progressive Party.
ALL TEN ARE CRONIES AND SLAVES OF THE BN, USELESS AND WORTHLESS, THEY HAVE SOLD INDIAN RIGHTS SINCE INDEPENDENCE....
But in none of those parliamentary constituencies do Indian voters represent more than a quarter of the electorate. In fact, in seven of these constituencies, the Indian electorate accounts for only between 11 and 19 per cent of the voters.
EVEN ONE SINGLE VOTE WILL MAKE THE DIFFERENCE...
In six constituencies, Malays form the majority and in four, the Chinese are slightly higher than the Malays.
So, if Indian votes were the criterion to win, would any Indian be able to be a member of parliament?
YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT POLITICS, INDIANS ARE THE KING MAKERS IN MANY CONSTITUENCIES, GO ASK BN...
But what does Hindraf really want the Indians to do? Vote against all these Indian MPs from the government party, they said, purportedly to enhance the "Indian cause" as espoused in their rally yesterday.
HINDRAF IS NOT VOTING OUT INDIANS BUT TRAITORS OF THE INDIAN COMMUNITY WHO SOLD THE INDIAN RIGHTS...
What if the Chinese decided to place a Chinese candidate in the four Chinese majority seats and Malays in the other six? Which Hindraf supporter would represent the Indians in parliament or government? Stupid.
WHO IS STUPID HERE? YOU OR HINDRAF? THE CHINESE, MALAY, KADASAN OR DUSUN CAN BE PLACED ANYWHERE, HINDRAF WILL NEVER SUPPORT TRAITORS, HINDRAF DON'T CARE ABOUT THE RACE, IT ONLY CARE FOR THEIR RIGHTS BEING PROTECTED BY IT BY A MALAY...STUPID!...
Could such an unlikely scenario take place?
ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN IN THIS BOLEH LAND...
Stranger things have happened.
NOTHING STRANGE HAVE HAPPEN, ITS ALL PRE MEDITATED BY BN, WAIT FOR MORE GOODIES FROM HINDRAF, VALGA MAKKAL SAKTHI...
