THE POSSIBLE SWINGS OF BARISAN NASIONAL SEATS

Statistics shows that Barisan Nasional owns comfortable rural parts mostly in Sabah, Sarawak and Pahang. Pakatan Rakyat definitely needs to work hard if they dream to grab Putrajaya from Barisan Nasional. In these crucial moments of nation's politics, its still too early to predict any political possiblity.

Don't forget that political awakening has come to Sabah, Sarawak, and rural areas in Peninsula Malaysia. The situations can't be predicted by a marginal swing in seats. In fact, there is much time to change voters mind. Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Rakyat both are pushing hard in order to impress the voters.

Barisan Nasional has to represent and emphasis on the interests of the rakyat, and not their own selfish agendas that destroying the nation. Although holding the Putrajaya in the meantime, they are shamelessly more functioning like opposite which always criticise the opposition's action instead of bring the changes of policies and systems to the rakyat.

While Pakatan Rakyat is more functioning like federal government, admit their mistakes and keen to change their attitude. Pakatan Rakyat never denies the wrongdoings that they have done. They believe that the critics by Barisan Nasional assist it to be more matured in governing 4 states. People are witnessing the opposite attitude in Barisan Nasional for more than half century, they are tired of the constant reject of their voices and wishes.

Lastly, the politics of Malaysia are changing towards a more liberal era. However Barisan Nasional refuses to admit that, they still moving backward with their racial politics. Barisan Nasional’s hope to stay in power will only happen if they change themselves to be more relevant. The same thing to Pakatan Rakyat if wish to come to power they need to work hard in delivering the ‘changes’ that rakyat hoping for.

Kursus Biro Tatanegara: Medan untuk meluaskan fahaman berunsur perkauman

Segelintir peserta yang pernah menghadiri kursus Biro Tatanegara (BTN) dengan beraninya menyifatkan bahawa kursus ini hanya membawa kepada perpecahan kaum di negara ini. Malah kursus ini juga bermotifkan politik pihak tertentu untuk kekal berkuasa dengan menanamkan sifat racist/perkauman di kalangan peserta.

Kerajaan tetap dengan pendirian mereka untuk meneruskan program ini, meskipun ramai daripada bekas peserta kursus ini telah tampil menyuarakan keadaan kursus tersebut. Timbul laporan-laporan daripada peserta kursus terutamanya daripada bukan Melayu bahawa kursus Biro Tatanegara menyebarkan ideologi yang bersifat perkauman, sehinggakan mengundang kebencian ke tahap yang kritikal terhadap kaum-kaum minoriti di negara ini.

Kerajaan bersetuju untuk merombak sukatan program kursus in selepas desakon oleh pihak pembangkang. Ini secara tidak langsungnya bermakna kerajaan telah menyalahgunakan kursus ini untuk kepentingan politik mereka, dan mereka sendiri mengakuinya apabila bercadang untuk merombak sukatan kursus Biro Tatanegara tersebut.

Hollow freedom of religion in Malaysia

Malaysia is not only for Muslims

Malaysia has a population of just over 27 million. According to the Population and Housing Census figures, approximately 60.4% of the population practiced Islam, 19.2% Buddhism, 9.1% Christianity, 6.3% Hinduism, and 2.6% traditional Chinese religions. The remaining was accounted for by other faiths, including Animism, Folk religion, Sikhism and other faiths while 1.1% either reported as having no religion or did not provide any information. However, these figures may be misleading as professing the religion of Islam is a requirement for being a Malay in the sense of the Malaysian Constitution.

MALAYSIA'S RELIGIOSITY

Freedom of religion in Malaysia is a controversial issue. Islam is the official state religion and the Constitution of Malaysia provides for limited freedom of religion, notably placing control upon the 'propagation' of religion other than Islam to Muslims, a fundamental part of a number of other religions. However, questions including whether Malaysia is an Islamic state or secular state remain unresolved. It’s easy to convert to Islam but it is so difficult to return to non-Islam religions. Is this the freedom of religion means in Malaysia?

Force in religious believes by the authorities, is it the way to spread Islam?

Muslims who wish to convert from Islam face severe obstacles. For Muslims, particularly ethnic Malays, the right to leave the Islamic faith and adhere to another religion is a controversial question. The legal process of conversion is also unclear, in practice it is very difficult for Muslims to change their religion legally. It’s understood many Malays change their religion secretly.

The issue of Muslim apostasy is very sensitive. In 1998 after a controversial incident of attempted conversion, the Government stated that apostates would not face government punishment so long as they did not defame Islam after their conversion. However, whether the very act of conversion was an "insult to Islam" was not clarified at the time.

But I’m very sure that religious freedom is guaranteed by law, but the Muslim Malay government trying to increase the role of Islam in the country by increasing their population at the same time.

The conversion cases:

T Saravanan/R Subashini

In 2006, T. Saravanan, a Muslim convert, sought to dissolve his marriage with his non-Muslim wife via the Syariah Court. His wife, R. Subashini, applied to Kuala Lumpur High Court for an injunction against her husband seeking divorce in the Syariah Court. The High Court dismissed her application. This was affirmed in the Court of Appeal, where the court also ordered Subashini to take her case to the Syariah Court. As of September, 2007, their case is pending in the Federal Court after an appeal by Subashini. Subashini is also seeking to stop or declare void the conversion of their children.

Revathi Masoosai

Revathi, an ethnic Indian woman, has been held in a rehabilitation center run by Islamic authorities since January 2007 because she wants the State to acknowledge she is a Hindu and not a Muslim. Revathi was born to Indian parents who had converted to Islam before her birth. She claims she was raised by her grandmother as a Hindu. She and Suresh were married according to Hindu rites in March 2004. Revathi was advised by the Malacca Islamic Religious Department to make an application at the Malacca Syariah High Court to confirm her status as a Hindu. She did as she was told.

However, the Syariah Court ordered her detained in a rehabilitation centre in Ulu Yam, Selangor under Melaka’s Syariah criminal laws for 100 days. This detention was extended in Revathi’s absence for a further 80 days supposedly because she had not “repented”. In the meanwhile, Revathi’s Muslim mother obtained a Syariah Court order granting her custody of Revathi and Suresh’s 15 month old baby. That order was enforced on Suresh’s Hindu family with the assistance of the police. The family is now torn apart - with the mother in detention, the child with the grandparents and the father in limbo without his family.

Lina Joy

In fact, Many Muslims who have converted to Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism and other religions lead "double lives", hiding their new faith from friends and family. The Lina Joy case challenged this view of the situation by taking the problem of apostasy to the Federal Court in 2007. Lina Joy lost the case and was denied conversion to Christianity. This cleared the situation about the overlapping areas of jurisdiction between the Islamic and the secular courts in Malaysia. Also it is now clear that renouncing Islam is very difficult although not impossible in Malaysia.

Wong Ah Kiu

Legally known as Nyonya binti Tahir, was a Malaysian convert from Islam to Buddhism.Of mixed Chinese and ethnic Malay descent, she was taken in by her grandmother, a Malay Muslim married to a Chinese of Hainan origin who had converted to Islam; however, she was later adopted by a Chinese family and raised as a Buddhist. Her husband died in 1989 at the age of 87; knowing that she would be unable to be buried next to him as a Muslim, she filed two further applications for recognition of her change of religion in 1991 and 1998; these too were rejected. She left behind a written declaration that she was a Buddhist and wanted to be given a Buddhist rather than an Islamic funeral.

Maniam Moorthy (A member of the first group of Malaysians to successfully climb Mount Everest)

A Malaysian Indian born and raised Hindu, a controversy about his religion arose after his death; he was buried as a Muslim against the wishes of his wife in accordance with a Syariah Court ruling that he had converted to Islam without the knowledge of his family. Despite his conversion to Islam, Moorthy remained uncircumcised, still took part in Hindu festivals, ate pork, and drank alcohol; he appeared on television on 31 October 2005, being interviewed about his celebration of Deepavali. On 11 November 2005, he fell from his wheelchair, injuring his head and entering into a coma from which he would never recover.

Indrani Gandhi’s case:

Indra gandhi’s three young children were forcefully converted to Islam by her estranged husband. Indira's marriage is now is a limbo after her husband, K Patmanathan, 40, converted without her knowledge on March 11. She claimed that her husband, who has since assumed the name Mohd Ridzuan Abdullah, had also converted their three children - aged one to 12 - on April 12 without their presence and using only their birth certificates. Now Indra Gandhi fearing that she could not reconvert her children to Hindu. Read here- Anguished mom knocks on PM's door and here- Conversion row: Hindu Sangam turns to new cabinet.


And the latest case:

S Banggarma fighting to establish that she is a Hindu has denied a claim by the Social Welfare Department that she was converted to Islam by her father when she was one year old in 1983. Read here- 'Welfare home conversion': Lawyer wants proof

UMNO is too weak to face 85 years old Chin Peng...

CHIN PENG WAS AWARDED FOR HIS COURAGE AND EFFORT AGAINST THE JAPANESE

UMNO IS WEAK AND ARROGANT

UMNO is too weak to face 85 years old Chin Peng, it fears the true history of Malaya will be revealed! Since 2000, Chin Peng applied to be permitted back into Malaysia, and a complex legal issue has arisen out of this. Why 85 years old Chin Peng not allowed to return to Malaysia and the government refuse to accept Chin Peng's apology? The fact is his return is not oppose by victims of attacks committed by Communist Malays Party but only by UMNO itself. Its nothing wrong to regard Chin Peng one of the Malayan Nationalist who fought against Japanese and British although there were damages done by the Communist.

His return said to be opposed by victims of attacks committed by the Communist Party of Malaya, those who served in the armed forces during the Emergency, and members of the public by the Malaysian government. There has been a resurgence of accounts of the alleged atrocities the Communist Party of Malaya committed in newspapers by those who are against his return to Malaysia (such as the Ex-Serviceman's Association of Malaysia). Chin Peng has lived in exile in southern Thailand and has also giving lectures in the National University of Singapore. The current Malaysian Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak might reconsider Chin Peng's position if he is not fearing of Chin Peng's return.

CHIN PENG LED COMMUNIST PARTY OF MALAYA TO FIGHT AGAINST JAPANESE

CHIN PENG IS A MALAYSIAN

In June 2008, Chin Peng again lost his bid to return to Malaysia when the Court of Appeal upheld an earlier ruling that compel him to show identification papers to prove his citizenship. Chin Peng maintained that his birth certificate was seized by the police during a raid in 1948. His counsel, Raja Aziz Addruse, had submitted before the Court of Appeal that it was wrong for the Malaysia government to compel him to produce the documents because he was entitled to enter and live in Malaysia by virtue of the agreement.

When Chin Peng's parents are already obviously dead, old as they must have been, this is the time for the other relatives of Chin Peng, mainly, his own brothers and sisters who are still alive, and also, his own children, to assist him now, and probably have some DNA testings done so as to ascertain the reality of the birth and existence of such a person named Tan Boon Hua, also, known as Chin Peng, to have been born in Sitiawan, Perak some 85 years ago.

It is not impossible for the records of Chin Peng's birth to have been lost by the authorities concerned - in this relevant time. However, since the keeping of such records is not within the control of Chin Peng, he ought not to be blamed when the authorities cannot trace their records of his birth which might have been kept some 85 years ago. What about the records of his parents, and also, those of their deaths (certificates)? If it had been recorded that his parents had been citizens, then "BY OPERATION OF LAW", Chin Peng ought to be a citizen as well.

DO FULFILL CHIN PENG'S LAST REQUEST TO RETURN

I think he is not a threat to UMNO, and I'm really sure that his age not allow him to re-emerge as a fighter. Perhaps UMNO is making his as a hero by stopping his return! It is indeed a great honor to our country that Chin Peng, after all his sojourns, have decided to come back home to Malaysia to breathe his last at 85. It hurts him a lot when denied to return to his homeland. Just think of our feelings if we are in his situation. Definitely, it will be good for us to fulfill his last request.

Kembali Kepada Sejarah Sebenar, Bukan "Sejarah KBSM"

Walaupun lebih daripada 52 tahun kita merdeka, pemimpin negara ini hanya mampu untuk melahirkan generasi muda yang racist dan sombong. Perpaduan di kalangan rakyat Malaysia makin teruk jika dibandingan sebelum merdeka. Sejarah membuktikan UMNO telah menjadi halangan kepada perpaduan kaum sejak sebelum merdeka lagi.

Datuk saya pernah memberitahu saya sebelum meninggal dunia, dulu masa zaman muda mereka tidak pernah membezakan diri mereka walaupun berasal daripada berlainan kaum. Orang Melayu bercucuk tanam di kampung, orang India pula menoreh Getah, manakala orang Cina lazimnya berniaga. Ini merupakan kegiatan rakyat Malaya, walaupun mereka begitu terpisah dalam aspek sosio-ekonomi, meraka tidak pernah menanam sifat perkauman atau syak wasangka terhadap satu sama lain.

Apa yang berlaku sekarang? Rata-ratanya sombong! Bagaikan kemerdekaan negara dicapai dengan begitu senang, mungkin ‘sejarah buku teks’ telah membutakan generasi muda sekarang. Yang mereka tahu hanyalah UMNO yang berjuang untuk kemerdekaan negara. Perjuangan kemerdekaan pelbagai kaum Malaya telah wujud seawal 1940an lagi. Perjuangan AMCJA-Putera telah dilupakan oleh sejarah sebagai pejuang untuk seluruh rakyat Malaya pada masa itu.

Wahai kawan-kawan, sedarkah anda bahawa perpecahan ditanam oleh pemimpin kita sendiri untuk kepentangan politk mereka? Dan mengapakah kamu mudah dipengaruhi oleh unsur-unsur racist mereka? Bukankan kita ada akal fikiran sendiri? UMNO memisahkan rakyat Malaysia melalui politik perkauman sejak sebelum merdeka lagi. Tetapi AMCJA-PUTERA telah menyatukan seluruh rakyat Malaya pada 1940an. Sejarah membuktikan bahawa semua kaum di negara ini pernah mengelarkan diri mereka sebagai ‘Melayu’, begitulah kuatnya persefahaman kita pada masa itu.

Saudara dan saudari yang dikasihi, 1Malaysia yang dilaungkan oleh Najib tidak ada maknanya jika politik perkauman tidak dihapuskan. 1Malaysia? Bolehkah seorang bukan Melayu manjadi Perdana Menteri di negara ini dibawah UMNO? Kelakar kan? Inilah 1Malaysia Najib! Masing-masing masih dengan fahaman kelompok sendiri, memaki hamun antara satu sama lain. Perkataan yang menyakitkan hati sering dipermainkan oleh generasi muda. Dan semestinya tiada kesaksamaan dalam pembahagian kuasa!

‘Ooi Keling’! Begitulah panggilan kawan saya yang menyakitkan hati. Janganlah! Datuk dan Nenek kita tidak pernah mengasuh kita menjadi racist. ‘Melayu malas’! itulah yang diembangkan oleh segelintir masyarakat Cina dan India di kedai-kedai kopi. Yang sebenarnya Melayu malas atau Melayu dimalaskan? Minta maaf saudara dan saudari, saya terpaksa berterus terang. UMNO yang memalaskan orang Melayu dengan suapan terus ke mulut. ‘Cina babi’, itu ungkapan oleh kebanyakkan orang Melayu dan India mengutuk Cina. Walau sesiapun yang bersalah dalam hal ini, yang penting kita perlu hindari perbuatan seumpamanya.

Video yang saya sertakan menunjukkan betapa eratnya hubungan rakyat Malaya sebelum merdeka. Namun UMNO telah memusnahkan perpaduan tersebut dengan menyokong Perlembagaan Persekutuan pihak British yang berunsurkan perkauman. Pada masa yang sama British juga telah mengisytiharkan darurat disebabkan perubahan mentaliti yang dibawa oleh AMCJA-PUTERA. Kandungan video ini juga menunujukkan perbezaan Perlembagaan Persekutuan yang dibawa oleh British/UMNO dan Pelembagaan Rakyat yang dibawa oleh AMCJA-PUTERA.

Mari Bersatu saudara dan saudari sekalian! Saksikan video 10 Tahun Sebelum Merdeka (3/4 & 4/4):

Ulang tahun HINDRAF ke-2: Kecelaruan atas pendirian politik, krisis kepimpinan, penyalahgunaan dana, janji-janji kosong, dan politik perkauman

HINDRAF mengkhianati kaum India

HINDRAF merupakan faktor kesedaran politik kaum India di negara ini. Pendekatan berkecuali HINDRAF dalam politik pada mulanya telah menyebabkan kaum India di negara ini amat mempercayai perjuangan tersebut, namun setelah Uthayakumar membentuk Human Rights Party (HRP), rata-rata kaum India di negara ini terasa dikhianati. Mereka sebenarnya ingin melihat HINDRAF dan Uthayakumar tidak terlibat dalam politik sebaliknya menjadi suara bebas.

Masih terdapat rakyat Malaysia yang percaya pada perjuangan 'kosong' Uthaya yang cuba mengalihkan sokongan HINDRAF untuk keuntungan politiknya peribadi Uthayakumar dan konco-konconya.

HINDRAF/HRP lebih berfungsi sebagai pengkritik Barisan Nasional dan Pakatan Rakyat. Daripada melakukan perkara ini, mereka seharusnya duduk semeja dan berbincang dengan kedua-dua pihak untuk kemajuan etnik India di Negara ini. Ini jelas menunjukkan bahawa HINDRAF/HRP lebih bertumpu untuk permainan politik, bukan untuk kemajuan etnik.

Krisis kepimpinan

Waythamoorthy, Uthayakumar, Kenghadaran, Manoharan, Ganapathirao dan Vasantha Kumar adalah pemimpin yang bekerja keras untuk membentuk HINDRAF. Mereka juga bertanggungjawab memimpin etnik India Malaysia berdemonstrasi menunjuk perasaan mereka terhadap kerajaan persekutuan pada 25 November 2007 yang lalu. Dan Selepas itu kerana bimbang kemungkinan dia akan ditangkap dibawah Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri (ISA), Waythamoorthy melarikan diri ke London, jadi lima pemimpin yang selebihnya ditahan di bawah akta tersebut.

Semasa dalam tahanan, kebenaran mula tersebar apabila Vasantha Kumar menyatakan Uthayakumar telah menyalahgunakan wang HINDRAF, sejak itu kepimpinan HINDRAF mulai berkecai dengan adanya pemimpin tamak sebegini. Krisis kepimpinan dalam HINDRAF makin parah apabila Vasantha Kumar dan Ganapathirao membentuk HINDRAF baru dengan membentuk pasukan lain. Mereka juga mendesak Waythamoorthy kembali ke Malaysia untuk menghadapi apa jua cabaran untuk membuktikan bahawa dia adalah pemimpin sejati.

Penyalahgunaan dana HINDRAF

Selepas Vasantha Kumar ketika dalam tahanan ISAnya mendedahkan tentang penyelewengan dana oleh Uthayakumar, V Ganapathirao pula menuduh abang Uthaya iaitu Waythamoorthy yang menggunakan wang HINDRAF untuk kegunaan peribadinya semasa di bawah perlindungan politik di London.

Jutaan Ringgiat yang diderma oleh masyarakat India ketika perhimpunan besar-besaran HINDRAF lesap begitu sahaja! Sehingga hari ini, Uthaya dan abangnya Waythamoorthy gagal untuk menjawab persoalan tentang isu ini. Dalam beberapa insiden yang lain, mereka menolak untuk memberikan komen apabila ditanya.

Perjuangan HINDRAF ‘digunapakai’ oleh Waythamoorthy, Uthayakumar, Thanenthiran dan Jeyathas untuk kepentingan politik peribadi
Hakikatnya HINDRAF dan Makkal Shakthi adalah milik rakyat. HINDRAF adalah rakyat dan rakyat adalah HINDRAF, namun kebanyakkan pemimpin telah ‘mengunapakai’ HINDRAF untuk kepentingan politik dan mereka juga menolak untuk mendengar suara rakyat secara keseluruhanya.

Waythamoorthy dan Uthayakumar mungkin telah merancang awal untuk 'mengumpul' duit ynag banyak menerusia penglibatan mereka dalam kancah politik. Tetapi masalah yang perlu dipertimbangkan adalah sokongan masyarakat, jadi mereka membuat keputusan untuk mengalihkan sokongan rakyat terhadap HINDRAF ke parti barunya. Kebenaran yang memalukan ini sememangnya sukar untuk dipercayai, tetapi cuba anda melihat kepada kenyataan akhbar yang dikelurkan oleh mereka, kesemuanya tertumpu untuk menyerang kerajaan dan pembangkang, bukanya untuk memperjuangkan janji-janji yang telah ditaburkan.

Thanenthiran adalah seorang lagi pengkhianat yang pada mulanya dipilih sebagai koordinator HINDRAF oleh Waythamoorthy telah membentuk parti politik lain untuk kepentingannya pula. Dia telah ‘menjual’ Makkal Shakthi’ kepada Najib semasa pembentukan Parti Makkal Shakthi. Dia juga menyuarakan sokongnya terhadap rejim yang kejam tersebut.

Sebahagian besar daripada kita masih berfikir bahawa mengapa Jeyathas juga tersenarai, tetapi dia tidaklah seburuk yang anda fikirkan. Saya kasihan terdap dia kerana menunjukkan kesetiaan tidak berbelah bahagi kepada Uthayakumar sejak beberapa tahun yang lalu. Pada hakikatnya, Uthayakumar menggunakan Jayathas untuk tujuan peribadi. Oleh kerana itu saya mengharapkan bahawa Jayathas menyedari bahawa dia juga disenarikan dalam kumpulan 'pengkhianat' kaum India di negara ini kerana menjdi pembantu Uthaya.


Janji-janji kosong
Uthaya berjanji tidak akan menjalankan demonstrasi jalalanan selepas ini walaupun apa yang terjadi, namun dia berbalik ke tabiat lamanya. Beliau telah menganjurkan beberapa siri protes yang berlainan untuk menunjukkan ketidakpuasan hatinya. Yang sebenarnya protes-protes tersebut adalah publisiti murahan untuk parti barunya.

Dalam pada itu, masyarakat India juga ingin tahu tentang ‘landmark plan’ yang dia kata bahawa beliau telah rangkakan semasa berada dalam tahanan ISA. Adakah ini lagi satu penipuan besar? Kita sama-sama tunggu dan lihat!

TOLAK HINDRAF, KATAKAN TIDAK PADA PERKAUMAN

Politik perkauman
Parti Hak Asasi Manusia (HRP) dan HINDRAF menyumbang kepada pemecahan kaum India dalam arena politik perdana. Generasi muda harus menolak politik perkauman yang membawa kepada pemecahan antara kaum di negara ini. Kaum India di negar ini perlu meletakkan kepentangan negara Malaysia terlebih dahulu daripada hak minoriti.

MIC ditubuhkan pada tahun 1946, PPP dibentuk pada tahun 1953 diikuti oleh IPF, MIUP, Mindraf dan MMSP, dan akhirnya HINDRAF muncul sebagai Huma Rights Party. Jadi apa yang membezakan MIC dan HINDRAF/HRP? Kesemunya memperjuangkan politik perkauman dan tidak salah jika kita melabelkan mereka sebagai ‘racist’.

Marilah kita berganding bahu membina Malaysia untuk semua rakyat Malaysia tidak mengira kaum dan agama dengan menolak politik perkauman. Warga miskin dan kaum minoriti akan mendapat perhatian yang samarata jika politik perkauman dihapuskan.

HINDRAF 2nd anniversary: Confusion over the political approaches, leadership crisis, misuse of funds, empty promises, and racial politics

HINDRAF betrayed Malaysian Indians

It’s a fact that Malaysian Indians awakened from the HINDRAF factor because of its previous apolitical approach in fighting for the ethnic rights. But now since HINDRAF formed Human Rights Party, people feel betrayed by Uthayakumar. Many of Malaysian Indians trusted Uthaya’s leadership and HINDRAF leadership very much before he turned as a politician.

Still some of the Malaysian Indians believe his ‘empty’ struggle which he has transferred the support from HINDRAF to his own political benefit. HINDRAF/HRP is now more to criticise both Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Rakyat. Instead of doing this, they should sit in the same table, work and discuss with both of the parties for ethnic Indians well beings. This clearly shows that HINDRAF/HRP is more to play politics, not for helping the Indians.


Leadership confusion

Waythamoorthy, Uthayakumar, Kenghadaran, Manoharan, Ganapathirao and Vasantha Kumar are the HINDRAF top leaders who worked hard to form the organ and lead Malaysian ethnic Indians fought against federal government on 25 November 2007. But since Waythamoorthy ran away to London fearing that he could be arrested in Internal Security Act Malaysia, the rest five of them were arrested under the security act.

During the detention, the truth revealed when Vasantha Kumar stated that Uthayakumar has misused the HINDRAF’s money, since then HINDRAF’s leadership broken into pieces. The leadership crises are worsening when Vasantha Kumar and Ganapathirao joined a hand forming another team. They also wanted Waythamoorthy to back to Malaysia to face whatever possiblities if he is a true fighter.


Misused of HINDRAF funds

After Vasantha Kumar during his ISA detention revealed the ugly truth about the misuse of fund by Uthayakumar, V Ganabatirau has accused the P Waythamoorthy of using millions of ringgit collected from the people for his personal use while in self-imposed exile in London several months ago.

The millions of ringgit that collected from Malaysian Indians during the HINDRAF rally lost just like that, Uthayakumar and Waythamoorthy failed to tell the truth about the fund. In several other occasions, they refused to answer about this claim.


HINDRAF hijacked by Waythamoorthy, Uthayakumar, Thanenthiran and Jeyathas

When we talking about HINDRAF and Makkal Shakthi, it all belongs to the people. The people is HINDRAF, and the HINDARF is people. But the leaders 'hijacked' Indians for their own benefits and refuse to hear people's voice.

Waythamoorthy and Uthayakumar might have planned to ‘collect’ more money by involving in politics. The problem to consider was peoples support, so the both used HINDRAF to form own political party. The shameful truth is hard to believe, but just look at their press statements nowadays, all focusing on attacking government and opposition, not fighting for the pledge of minority.

Waythamoorthy appointed HINDRAF co-ordinator Thanenthiran is another traitor in fact. He ‘sold out’ Makkal Shakti to Najib by forming Makkal Shakthi Party which support the cruel government. The Malaysian Indians again betrayed by HINDRAF leaders.

Most of us still thinking that why Jeyathas also in this list, but he is not that bad as you think. I pity of this man, who being loyal to Uthayakumar since long time ago. Uthayakumar is using this man for his purpose, hope Jayathas realise it when he is also highlighted in ‘traitors’ list.


Empty promises

After few months promising that he will not organise any street protest, and now he is going to his old habit. He organised several protests to show his dissatisfactions. Such protests are nothing more than cheap publicities for his new race based party, Human Rights Party (HRP).

Between that, I wish to know his ‘landmark plan’ that he said he has been created during his ISA detention. Is he cheating the Malaysian Indian again and again? Let wait and see.

REJECT HINDRAF, SAY NO TO RACISM

Racial politics

In reality, Human Rights Party and HINDRAF are racially dividing Malaysian Indians from the mainstream politics and organizations. Younger generation should reject such movements push for racial lines which will bring us backward in uniting with other ethnics in our nation.We ethnic Indians in Malaysia must put Malaysia’s interest first before our minority interest.

MIC formed in 1946, next PPP formed in 1953 followed by IPF, MIUP, Mindraf and MMSP, and finally HINDRAF reemerge as HRP (Human Rights Party). So what's the different between MIC and HINDRAF/HRP now? All of them are in same group which we can call them as racist.

Let’s work with other races in building a Malaysia for all Malaysians. Let’s fight for the removal of racial politics, in fact all the minorities get benefit if racial politics removed and the poor citizen/minorities will get equal attentions from the government.

When oil and gas dried up in our land... Have you ever imagined?

Due to Malaysia’s heavy dependence on oil and gas, the economists predict that our nation will received a high impact on economy when earth stop provides the natural resources. According to the World Bank, our country is too reliant on the oil and gas to generate our economy.

This is meaning that we have no back ups to recover our economy during the time we lost the biggest income of the nation. Our leaders never had thought that one day the oil will dry up and they need to do something to save our economy. By broaden our economy rather than depending on the natural resources, we can minimise our risk to flop as a ‘bankrupt nation’.

The wasting of money to develop F1 cars, new palaces, submarines, helicopters and so on will further risk Malaysia in near future. Our government should wisely spend Petronas income by focusing on the economy and to facilitate the people by providing better schools, roads, bridges, hospitals, temples, mosques, and other positive developments.

The report by World Bank also stated that about 40% of the country’s revenue is from oil and gas. Hope our leaders craft new plan to face upcoming possibilities, perform an immediate revision on World Bank’s report. Our leaders must take full responsibility on this matter and do something before it’s too late.

Muslim State, Liberty, Ketuanan Melayu and Bangsa Malaysia...

Compare Malaysia with Brunei, which gained independence 27 years after us. The Bruneian Proclamation declares Brunei "a sovereign, democratic and independent Malay Muslim monarchy". Our Proclamation, on the other hand, announces that we "shall be for ever a sovereign democratic and independent State founded upon the principles of liberty and justice and ever seeking the welfare and happiness of its people".

Our founding fathers were not too worried about things involving race. They did not declared officially as a Malay state or a Muslim state; they did not need to call for Malay unity or Muslim unity. But they did call for the all Malayan unity. Even if they did believe that in the short term, some authoritarianism was necessary to clamp down on ethnic tension, they knew that in the long run, all that matters is that the people of Malaysia are happy, that they have liberty and justice.

So what were some political parties talking about when they met over "Malay unity"? Was it about how to improve the lot of the Malays by lording it over other Malaysians with some ideology of ketuanan Melayu? Or they just purposely ignoring the non-Muslim which are almost 35% of the Malaysian citizen? We are facing a lot of crisis nowadays, including the hike of inflation rate, leadership crisis, worrying sports performance, drop of the Malaysian Universities in the world rankings and I have a long list of the problems. So, hope all Malaysian focus on those problems instead of racial issues.


Malays should believe multiracial liberalism concept, then only we able to form strong and competent Bangsa Malaysia. After 52 years of national independence we are still talking about unity among Malays, among Chinese, among Indians and among other races within ourselves. These should be the issues of the past and now as Malaysian we should emphasis on the nation's building and development for the betterment of our future generations! Lets together we struggle for this noble cause!

TNB Malaysia 'fu**ed' by Namewee
