ஒரு மலேசிய இந்தியனின் உறிமை குரல் :

3/4/2013 - இன்று மலேசிய நாடாளும் மன்றம் கலைக்க பட்டுவிட்டது. தேர்தல் பிரச்சாரம் தொடங்கிவிடும்.

எல்லா கட்சிகளும் இதை செய்கிறேன், அதை செய்கிறேன் என்று பிரச்சாரம் செய்வார்கள்.

எது உண்மை எது பொய் என்று தெரியாத அளவுக்கு வாய்பேச்சில் வீரராக பேசியும்  பூசி மொழுகவும் செய்வார்கள்.

மக்களாகிய நாம் உசாராக வேண்டிய தருணம் இது. நாம் செலுத்தும் ஒவ்வொரு வாக்கும் நம் உரிமை குரலாகும். கவனம் தேவை. விழிப்புணர்வு அதி முக்கியம்.

வாக்கை அளித்து தகுந்த தலைவரை நாம் தேர்ந்தெடுக்கும் பெரும் பொறுப்பு நம் கையில் உள்ளது.

சுயநலம் கருதாமல் எல்லா இன மக்களுக்கும் சரி சமமாக சேவை செய்யும் ஒருவரை தான் மக்கள் தேர்ந்து எடுக்க வேண்டும்.

மலாய்காரர்களுக்கு சேவை செய்ய நிறைய பேர் இருக்கின்றனர். அவர்களை ஒரு நல்ல நிலைக்கு கொண்டும் வந்து விட்டனர்.

எல்லா துறைகளிலும் பெரும்பான்மையாக இருப்பவர்கள் மலாய்காரர்கள் என்று சொன்னால் அது மிகையாகாது.

சீன இனத்தவர்களுக்கும் நல்ல செல்வாக்கு உண்டு, வர்த்தக துறையை தமக்கு சாதகமாக்கி கொண்டு வெற்றி நடை போடுகிறார்கள்.

மலேசிய இந்திய மக்களோ 80% இன்னும் அடி மட்டத்தில் தான் இருக்கிறார்கள். இவர்கள் மற்ற இனத்துடன் சரி சமமாக முன்னுக்கு வர வாய்ப்பு  மறுக்க பட்டு வருகிறது.

பூர்வ குடியினரும் இந்த கட்டத்துக்குள் தான் வாழ்கிறார்கள். இந்த நாட்டுக்கு சொந்தக்காரர்களான அவர்கள். இருப்பினும் அவர்களின் உரிமைகள் மறுக்க பட்டு இன்னும் காட்டு  வாசிகள் போல் வாழ்கிறார்கள்.

நாம்  முன்னுக்கு வர வேண்டும் என்றால் உரிமை குரலை எழுப்பியாக வேண்டும். அதற்கு சரியான் தருணம் தேர்தல் நேரம்.

மலேசிய இந்திய மக்களான நாம் ஹின்ராப் பரிந்துரைக்கும் 5 ஆண்டு திட்டத்தை கையொப்பம் இடாத எல்லா கட்சிகளின் தேர்தல் பிரச்சாரத்தையும் முதலில் புறக்கணிக்க வேண்டும்.

இந்த புறக்கணிப்பு  அவர்களுக்கு பீதியை கிளப்பும், சரித்திரம் படைக்கும்.

தமிழன் என்று சொல்லடா தலை நிமிர்ந்து நில்லடா, செல்லடா என்று கூறிக்கொண்டு இருந்தால் எதுவும் நடக்காது.

செயல் படுத்த நல்ல தருணம் இதுவே. 

இம்முறை நாம் செயல் படுத்த தவறிவிட்டால் ஆண்டவனாலும் நம்மை காப்பாற்ற முடியாது.

உலக தமிழர்கள் அனைவரும் ஓன்று  கூடி தமிழரின்  தலை எழுத்தை நிலை நிறுத்த வேண்டிய கட்டம், நிர்பந்தம் வந்து விட்டது. நம் நாட்டில் அது நம் கையில் ஊள்ளது.

எனகென்ன உனக்கென்ன என்று சும்மா இருந்தால் நாம் இழக்கப்போவது நமது எதிர்காலம் மட்டும் இல்லை நம் குழந்தைகளின் எதிர்காலமும் கூட.

நம் உரிமையை பாது காக்க, சுய உரிமையை மீட்டு கொள்ள யாருக்கு வாக்கு போடா வேண்டும் என்பதை ஹிந்ட்ரப் நடத்தும் பேச்சு வார்த்தைகளுக்கு பின் தெரிய வரும்.

அது வரை நாம் ஒற்றுமையாக இருக்க வேண்டும். ரெண்டு பட்டாள் கூத்தாடிக்கு கொண்டாட்டமாகிவிடும்.

ஹிந்தரப் இது வரை 18 முறை மக்கள் கூட்டணியுடன் பேச்சு வார்த்தை நடத்தி வந்திருக்கிறது.

பிரதமரையும் ஒரு முறை சந்தித்து இருக்கிறது.

இரு தரப்பும் பழைய பல்லவியை தான் பாடுகிறார்கள். நம் கோரிக்கை நல்லதாக இருப்பதாக சொல்கிறார்கள் ஆனல் கையொப்பம் மட்டும் போட மாட்டார்களாம்.

நம் உரிமைகளை இது வரை பறித்தது போதாதாம் மேலும் அடிமை படுத்தி ஆட்சி நடத்தலாம் என்று கங்கணம் கட்டி கொண்டு இறுமாப்புடன் பதில் அளிக்கிறார்கள்.

இவர்களுக்கு நல்லதொரு பாடம் கற்பிக்க வேண்டும், அது நம் ஒற்றுமையில் தான் இருக்கிறது.

நாம் மற்ற இனத்தவர்களுடன் சரி சமமாக நடைபோட வேண்டும் என்றால் நாம் தன்மானத்தை விட்டு கொடுக்க கூடாது.

தூங்கினது போதும், எழுந்து நில்லுங்கள், போராடுங்கள். நம் சமுதாயம் மென் மேலும் வளரும்.

பயம் என்ற வார்த்தைக்கே இடம் இல்லை. நிமிர்ந்து நில்லுங்கள்.

முதல் கட்டமாக தேர்தல் பிரட்சாரத்தை புறக்கணியுங்கள். இது பெரும் அழுத்தத்தை  கொடுக்கும்.

வாழ்க நம் மக்கள்....

Dear Mahathir - By HarisIbrahim.

Dear Mahathir 

Malaysian Insider reports  that you had "defended the social contract, the so-called unwritten agreement between the Malays and the non-Malays during independence, by affirming that without the agreement, Malaysia would not have been formed". 

They quoted you : "If there was no social contract, the terms and conditions of allowing citizenship to non-Malays would have not taken place. One million outsiders were given citizenships at the time." 
 
Now,  this quote from you got me curious. Let me tell you why.
 
I conferred with my aunt, who confirmed that my maternal great grandfather, Eliathamby, of whom I've written previously in a posting entitled "The land that my forefathers helped build", would have left Ceylon and arrived in what is now West Malaysia, around 1870. He died well before the conclusion of that social contract that you spoke of, so my great grandfather would not have come within those 'one million outsiders' who acquired citizenship at the time of independence in 1957.
 
My maternal grandfather, Vellupillay T. Williams, never lived to see the formation of Malaya so he, too, did not make up the 'one million outsiders'.
 
Enough of my family tree. Let's look at yours.
 
I got this from a blog, Malaysiana :
 
Perhaps, the most famous Malayalee to land in George Town was Iskandar Kutty, a merchant who married a Johor-Riau wife Siti Hawa Iskandar. They became the proud parents of Alor Star's top public school Sultan Abdul Hamid College's founder-principal and Kedah's royal educator Datuk Mohamad Iskandar.
 
Mohamad was the school teacher of Tunku Abdul Rahman. He and his wife Datin Wan Tempawan Wan Hanafi from the Kedah Bendahara's (Prime Minister's) clan, were the proud parents of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Malaysia's Father of Modernisation and fourth Prime Minister.
And this from Malaysia Today :
 
Born in December 20, 1925, Dr Mahathir hailed from the state of Kedah, at the capital of Alor Star, whose father was a school teacher. His father was Indian who migrated from Kerala, who married a malay lady and sold banana fritters during the second world war. His early education was through vernacular school and at theSultan Abdul Hamid College in the city.
 
My question, then, Doc, firstly, is whether your father was amongst the 'one million outsiders'?
And when did you become 'Malay', Doc?
 
When did you move from being a son of an Indian who migrated from Kerala to a Malay?
Not that I care, but when?
 
Speaking of Malay, do you remember your "Malay Dilemma", Doc?
Do you remember what you said about the problem of inbreeding amongst the Malay community, and that whole business of genes? Back then, who had heard of this thing called DNA?
 
Who had ever imagined that science would one day make it possible for all of us to trace our genealogy?
Guess what, Doc? It seems, based on all this new DNA scientific knowledge, that there's no such thing as a Malay race.
 
It would seem that you've gone from being a son of an Indian who migrated from Kerala to a 'does not exist'.
 
Just like that! My cyber buddy, Michael Chick, has written extensively on this matter, in a three-parter in Malaysiakini. HERE, HERE, and HERE.
 
See what Michael writes in his final part :  "The people Malaysians call 'Malay', are actually only a tiny sub-component of the much larger Austronesian group. And all Austronesians are the end-product of extensive inter-breeding between the Taiwanese and Dravidic Indians. All this has finally been irrefutably proven by independent DNA testings from world-class faculties".
 
I've never been very good at all these sciences, Doc, but if you're any better, and you think Michael's cocked-up big time in his conclusions, why don't you take him on?
 
Damn, I digress.
So when and how did you become Malay, Doc?
 
Because of the definition of 'Malay' in the Federal Constitution, Doc? Article 160 (2)? That right?
So, right up until the last moments before Tunku'sdeclaration of independence, you were the son of an Indian who migrated from Kerala, and moments later you were magically transformed into a Malay?
And is not the definition of Malay in Article 160(2) stated to be for the limited purpose where the word 'Malay' appears in the Constitution?
 
But really, Doc, I don't give a toss whether you hold yourself out as Malay or the son of an Indian who migrated from Kerala.Whatever turns you on.
 
What pisses me off is this Bumi-non Bumi crap.
November 19th, last year, The Star reported on Najib's balik kampung to Makassar in  South Sulawesi . 
You can read the report HERE. 
Courtesy of The Star, Najib is reported to have said : "I feel like I am returning to my roots," and, when asked to comment on the possibility that some people might view the fact that he had roots here in a negative light, Najib said: "I am not apologetic about it. This is my family history and I am proud of it."
 
According to the report, Najib said he was the direct descendant of Bugis royalty who migrated to Pahang in the 18th century.
 
Well, at least this Malaysian is not ashamed of his roots!
Now, you know that aunt I mentioned earlier?
 
You know her. Aunty Rasammah.
I googled her name yesterday and this is what is written of her in Wikipedia.
"Rasammah Bhupalan, also known as Rasammah Naomi Navarednam or Mrs F.R. Bhupalan is a renowned Malaysian freedom fighter and social activist. Born in 1927, she has championed causes such as the anti-drug abuse movement, women's rights, education and social justice causes. Rasammah was one of the earliest women involved in the fight for Malaysian (thenMalaya ) independence. She joined the Rani of JhansiRegiment, the women's wing of the Indian National Army, to fight the British. She served in Burma duringWorld War II.
 
As founder president of the Women Teacher's Union , she fought for equal pay for women teachers and tried to bring disparate teachers' unions under an umbrella.
 
The former school principal was the first Asian representative of the World Confederation of Organisations of the Teaching Profess ion for two successive terms. She was also very active in the National Council of Women's Organisation (NCWO) and Pemadam.
 
She was a teacher in the Methodist Boys' School,Kuala Lumpur from 1959 to 1964 and was the principal of the Methodist Girls School, Kuala Lumpur for 13 years from 1970 until she retired in 1982. On 11th November 2007, Mrs.Bhupalan was one of the few veteran teachers who were invited to attend MBSSKL's 110th Anniversary Celebration Dinner. The dinner was specially organized to honour all the former and current teachers of the school".
 
Quite frankly, I think the write-up in Wikipedia does little justice to all that Aunty Rasammah has done for this country. But that is another matter.
 
More importantly, Doc, why are you, the son of an Indian who migrated from Kerala, and Najib, the descendant of Bugis who migrated from Sulawesi , Bumiputra, whilst Aunty Rasammah is not?

IT IS WELL KNOWN THAT MAHATHIR IS A RACIST AND A DISCIPLE OF NAZISM. READ HIS BLOG AND YOU WOULD BE REAFFIRMED.
WHILE RETIRED FORMER US PRESIDENT CLINTON IS DOING NOBLE SERVICES AROUND THE GLOBE, MAHATHIR IS BUSY INFUSING IN HIS BLOG WITH WORDS OF ANGER, RACISM (HE IS AN AVID PROPONENT OF "MALAY SUPREMACY" WHICH HE COINED, I BELIEVE) AND NEGATIVE VIBES.

NOTHING IN HIS BLOG CONTAINS WISDOM NOR NOBLE IDEOLOGY THAT WOULD CONTRIBUTE TO HELPING THE POOR; NOR IN HELPING TO FOSTER A STRONGER BOND AMONG THE RACES IN MALAYSIA.

IS HE A GREAT LEADER? YOUR VERDICT IS AS GOOD AS MINE.

Maha Bhaaratham 

The Mahabharata tells the story of two sets of paternal first cousins--the five sons of the deceased king Pandu (the five Pandavas and the one hundred sons of blind King Dhritarashtra--who became bitter rivals, and opposed each other in war for possession of the ancestral Bharata kingdom with its capital in the "City of the Elephants," Hastinapura , on the Ganga river in north central India. What is dramatically interesting within this simple opposition is the large number of individual agendas the many characters pursue, and the numerous personal conflicts, ethical puzzles, subplots, and plot twists that give the story a strikingly powerful development.

The five sons of Pandu were actually fathered by five Gods (sex was mortally dangerous for Pandu, because of a curse) and these heroes were assisted throughout the story by various Gods, sages, and brahmins, including the great sage Krishna Dvaipayana Vyasa (who later became the author of the epic telling this story), who was also their actual grandfather (he had engendered Pandu and the blind Dhrtarastra upon their nominal father's widows in order to preserve the lineage). 

The one hundred sons of the blind king Dhartarashtra, on the other hand, had a grotesque, demonic birth, and are said more than once in the text to be human incarnations of the demons who are the perpetual enemies of the devotees of the lord. The most dramatic figure of the entire Mahabharata, however, is Sri Krishna who is the supreme personality of Godhead himself, descended to earth in human form to reestablish his devotees as care takers of the earth, and who practice Dharma. Krishna Vasudeva was the cousin of both parties, but he was a friend and advisor to the Pandavas, became the brother-in-law of Arjuna , and served as Arjuna's mentor and charioteer in the great war. Krishna Vasudeva is portrayed several times as eager to see the war occur, and in many ways the Pandavas were his human instruments for fulfilling that end.

The Dhartarashtra party behaved viciously and brutally toward the Pandavas in many ways, from the time of their early childhood. Their malice displayed itselfwhen they took advantage of the eldest Pandava, Yudhishthira (who had by now become the ruler of the world) in a game of dice: The Dhartarashtras 'won' all his brothers, himself, and even the Pandavas' common wife Draupadi They humiliated all the Pandavas and physically abused Draupadi; they drove the Pandava party into the wilderness for twelve years, and the twelve years of exile had to be followed by the Pandavas' living somewhere in society, in disguise, without being discovered.

The Pandavas fulfilled their part of that bargain by living out side the kingdom, but the evil leader and eldest son of Dhartarashtra, Duryodhana , was unwilling to restore the Pandavas to their half of the kingdom when the thirteen years had expired. Both sides then called upon their many allies and two large armies arrayed themselves on 'Kuru's Field' (Kuru was one of the eponymous ancestors of the clan), eleven divisions in the army of Duryodhana against seven divisions for Yudhishthira. 

Much of the action in the Mahabharata is accompanied by discussion and debate among various interested parties, and the most famous dialog of all time, Krishna Vasudeva's ethical lecture and demonstration of his divinity to his devotee and friend Arjuna (the Holy Bhagavad Gita appeared in the Mahabharata just prior to the commencement of the world war. Several of the important ethical and theological themes of the Mahabharata are tied together in this Gita, and this "Song of the Blessed One" has exerted much the same sort of powerful and far-reaching influence in the Vedic Civilization that the New Testament has had in the Christian world. 

The Pandavas won the eighteen day battle, but it was a victory that deeply troubled all except those who were able to understand things on the divine level (chiefly Krishna, Vyasa, and Bhishma the Bharata patriarch who was symbal of the virtues of the era now passing away). The Pandavas' five sons by Draupadi, as well as Bhimasena and Arjuna Pandava's two sons by two other mothers (respectively, the young warriors and Abhimanyu, were all tragic victims in the war. Worse perhaps, the Pandava victory was won by the Pandavas slaying, in succession, four men who were like fathers to them: Bhishma, their teacher Drona , Karna (who was, though none of the Pandavas knew it, the first born, pre-marital, son of their mother), and their maternal uncle Shalya (all four of these men were, in succession, 'supreme commanders' of Duryodhana's army during the war). Equally troubling was the fact that the killing of the first three of these 'respected elders,' and of some other enemy warriors as well, was accomplished only through ' trickery', most of which were suggested by Krishna Vasudeva as absolutely required by the circumstances.

The ethical gaps were not resolved to anyone's satisfaction on the surface of the narrative and the aftermath of the war was dominated by a sense of horror and malaise. Yudhishthira alone was terribly troubled, but his sense of the war's wrongfulness persisted to the end of the text, in spite of the fact that everyone else, from his wife to Krishna Vasudeva, told him the war was right and good; in spite of the fact that the dying patriarch Bhishma lectured him at length on all aspects of the Good Law (the Duties and Responsibilities of Kings, which have rightful violence at their center; the ambiguities of Righteousness in abnormal circumstances; and the absolute perspective of a beatitude that ultimately transcends the oppositions of good versus bad, right versus wrong, pleasant versus unpleasant, etc.); in spite of the fact that he performed a grand Horse Sacrifice as expiation for the putative wrong of the war. These debates and instructions and the account of this Horse Sacrifice are told at some length after the massive and narrative of the battle; they form a deliberate tale of pacification that aims to neutralize the inevitable reactions of the war.

In the years that follow the war Dhritarashtra and his queen Gandhari , and Kunti , the mother of the Pandavas, lived a life of asceticism in a forest retreat and died with yogic calm in a forest fire. Krishna Vasudeva departed from this earth thirty-six years after the war. When they learned of this, the Pandavas believed it time for them to leave this world too and they embarked upon the 'Great Journey,' which involved walking north toward the polar mountain, that is toward the heavenly worlds, until one's body dropped dead. One by one Draupadi and the younger Pandavas died along the way until Yudhishthira was left alone with a dog that had followed him all the way. Yudhishthira made it to the gate of heaven and there refused the order to drive the dog back, at which point the dog was revealed to be an incarnate form of the God Dharma (the God who was Yudhishthira's actual, physical father), who was there to test Yudhishthira's virtue. Once in heaven Yudhishthira faced one final test of his virtue: He saw only the Dhartarashtra Clan in heaven, and he was told that his brothers were in hell. He insisted on joining his brothers in hell, if that were the case! It was then revealed that they were really in heaven, that this illusion had been one final test for him.

End.
