The past leaders while they have formulated good policies for the betterment of the nation and country then, but implementation had its visible constraints and consequently many needs of the community was never delivered and/or were seriously neglected to this day.
However, after much criticism, national outrage and demonstrations, some opportunities are currently being accorded to the community although not so satisfactory. More must be done which would require careful planning, genuineness and sincerity on the part of the political leadership.
Today those policies formulated then must undergo proper reforms catering for current needs and expectations. For instance since 2009, RM440 million was apparently allocated for Tamil schools. Can such allocations actually help to improve and solve other problems of the community constantly faced on a daily basis? Surely not. The future of the indian community does not simply revolve around Tamil schools.
The community requires higher education opportunities, resources to conduct and carry on business and the it must be prepared progressively to face globalisation and must possess the competitive edge. We therefore urge that the Government, both Federal and State, to look beyond the shores of mere race to solve the above plight of the community.
The Government has taken specific steps and efforts to identity weaknesses in the bumiputera agenda, why not in the case of the indian community’s desire to do the same. Is it wrong?
The formulation of policies merely to uphold the bumiputera agenda is wrong, for it’s core objective if any, should be to uphold the interest and future of all Malaysians regardless of race and religion and this thought and thinking must never hurt decent and peace loving Malaysians.
Additionally, imposing high grades before one is eligible for a full scholarship to further their studies appears more of an unreasonable imposition for it may be out of reach to the average student. Where is the special consideration here?
How do you enhance the trust of the community when impossible and outrageous conditions are imposed? Such high expectation will deter many hardworking average and moderate students from furthering their studies and how could you call this a sincere effort? Perhaps there is an urgent need to re-evaluate those imposition of high grades.

Please allow me to introduce you to Dr.Jeffry Kitingan. Dr.Jeffry Kitingan is a Christian Kadazan from Sabah. Dr.Jeffry Kitingan graduated from Harvard University. The Hindu Malaysians and Dr.Jeffry Kitingan have more things in common than we probably realize.
Dr.Jeffry, in the past, was detained under the infamous ISA. Many Hindu Malaysians and Chinese Malaysians, in the past, have also been detained under the ISA.
When Dr.Jeffry Kitingan is detained under ISA, it is a case of Muslims/UMNO detaining a non-Muslim. This is very hurtful. When Hindu Malaysians and Chinese Malaysians are detained under the ISA, again, it is a case of Muslims/UMNO detaining a non-Muslim. This is very hurtful too. You have to understand that Muslims detaining Muslims on the one hand, and Muslims detaining non-Muslims on the other hand are not the same. If you pause and think about it, you will understand me.
Dr.Jeffry Kitingan is a Christian Kadazan, and thus, a non-Muslim. Hindu Malaysians and Chinese Malaysians are also non-Muslim Malaysians. That is, both Dr.Jeffry and Hindu Malaysians and Chinese Malaysians are non-Muslims.
Hindu Malaysians and Chinese Malaysians have tried many political parties to seek better representation. Dr.Jeffry Kitingan also has tried many political parties before bringing together his Borneo Agenda/United Borneo Front and Third Front in Malaysian politics. I think, for Sabah, they must choose between Malaysia First or Sabah First. If the Sabahans cannot get the Federal government to accept Malaysia First at all levels, then the same Sabahans must go for secession by insisting on Sabah First. Sabah First means secession. In short, Malaysia first or secession for Sabah.
Christian Kadazans, Chinese Malaysians, and Hindu Malaysians have been alienated by Article 153 of the Federal Constitution. Actually, Article 153 of the Federal Constitution may be defunct because its 'life' is only for 15 years after independence in year 1957. Article 153 is only a temporary provision to the constitution. If Article 153 is now defunct, then why are the pro-UMNOputra policies and cronyism continuing? It is time to repeal Article 153, or has it been repealed already? If Article 153 is defunct, then the Rulers no longer have the authority granted by Article 153. Are UMNO people arbitrary people? It is time for non-Muslims to realize that Article 153 is non-existent, or is it not?
When Mr.Lee Kuan Yew, in the 1960's, insisted on Malaysia First at all levels, the honorable Tunku Abdul Rahman responded by expelling Singapore from the Federation. Now we have Dr.Jeffrey Kitingan from Sabah who has his Borneo Agenda/United Borneo Front. We will wait and see what happens? Will the Federal government expel Sabah from the Federation? If the Federal government expels Sabah from the Federation, then it may be good news for Sabahans. We will wait and see.
I would like to commend Dr.Jeffry Kitingan for attempting to assemble a Third Force in Malaysian politics. The Third Force is the Borneo Agenda/United Borneo Front. The creation of the Third Force has strengthened People Power in Malaysia. Rightfully, it is People Power that should rule Malaysia. People Power is higher than the Constitution, the Rulers and whoever else. Dr.Jeffry Kitingan, the Christian Kadazans, and other people power groups may end up being kingmakers. In addition, the Third Force is the Borneo Agenda/United Borneo Front needs to bear in mind that the rise of China and India will shift the balance of power.
I understand that both Brunei and Singapore are doing better than Sabah and Sarawak because they do not have a parasite and arbitrary people called UMNO/Article 153 of the Federal Constitution.. The arbitrary and parasitical habits of UMNO/Article153 have made UMNOputras rich at the expense of Sabah. Today, Sabah is among the poorer states in Malaysia. It is time for People Power to demonstrate itself. The creation of a coalition called the Third Force in Sabah and Sarawak will definitely increase People Power and may even lead to Sabah being a sovereign independent nation with closer relations with Singapore. I have nothing against helping the poor but it should be done in an unbiased non-racial, non-religious way.
For the Malays to say that the non-Malays must be grateful for the citizenship the Malays have given the non-Malays is a lame excuse. I wonder who gave the Malays citizenship, in the first place? The indigenous people of Malaya are the Orang Asli, and to my knowledge both Malays and non-Malays have yet to get citizenship from the Orang Asli. Besides, the Chinese and Hindu Malaysians have worked and contributed to the growth and development of this country for more than 100 years. Today, Malays have (with the help of UMNO/Article 153) developed an efficient arbitrary and parasitical relationship with Chinese and Hindu Malaysians. Hopefully, a Third Force will increase People Power and reduce UMNO power and the power of Article 153 of the Federal Constitution. We have to choose between People Power and UMNO power.
Now, let's discuss the Malay Regiment. The Malay regiment has nothing to do with Malaysia First or People Power. Unlike other Malaysian Regiments, the Malay Regiment is a special regiment. The Malay Regiment is the only regiment that is allowed to recruit Muslims and Malays. Yes, only Muslims and Malays can join the Malay Regiment. Why only Muslims and Malays? The Malay regiment is a segregated regiment. Why? The Malaysian armed forces must be integrated. We, the non-Muslims, need an answer. It is all about Malaysia first or Islam first. The non-Muslim Malaysians need unambiguous answers. Does the Malay Regiment serve the Muslims or Malaysia? Does the Malay Regiment fight for Malaysia or Islam? The Malay Regiment has to choose between Islam and Malaysia because they cannot have both. As a matter of fact, all Malaysian citizens should put Malaysia first. Even the King/Agung should always put Malaysia first. Even the Constitution of Malaysia should put Malaysia and People Power above everything else.
When the constitution itself is biased, then people power become justifiable. When the police, military, and bureaucracy are biased or arbitrary, then people power becomes justifiable.
Dr.Jeffry Kitingan has often been called a frog because he has hopped from one political party to another. He most certainly is a frog. There are advantages at hopping from one political party to another. Being branded a frog is sometimes the best thing. Each time you move from one political party to another, you gain experience. Thus, he has gained a lot of experience. Through trial and error he has learned a lot. Yes, it is true that Dr.Kitingan has hopped from one political party to another, by he has always had Sabah in his heart. He has always been Sabah centric. It does not matter how many political parties he has tried, he is always Sabah centric. Over the past few decades Dr.Kitingan has seen Sabah become poorer and increasingly marginalized under UMNO rule. UMNO armed with Article 153 of the Federal Constitution has become arbitrary and parasitical and turned Sabah into a colony. Actually, Article 153 of the Federal Constitution may be defunct because its 'life' is only for 15 years after independence in year 1957. All these "special rights" for certain groups may be arbitrary.
Thomas Alva Edison said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work". Robert F. Kennedy said, " Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly".
Failure is success if we learn from it. I am sure Dr.Jeffry Kitingan has learned a lot. I hereby would like to ask all Hindu Malaysians to give their support to Dr.Jeffry Kitingan. . I hereby would like to ask all Hindu Malaysians to form an alliance with Dr.Jeffry Kitingan. May he help to create a Malaysia where Malaysian citizens will put Malaysia first. May he help to create a Third Front in Malaysian politics. May all Malaysians who believe that changing faith is an inviolable human right to be supportive of Dr.Jeffry Kitingan.
If the Malaysian government does not put Malaysia first, then Sabah must take the next step; the next step is to completely secede from Malaysia. So, the step by step Sabah plan should be "Malaysia first or secede from Malaysia". It is only fair that Sabah try Malaysia first. Everybody has to put Malaysia first. The Prime Minister has to put Malaysia first. The National Parliament has to put Malaysia first. The Agung/King has to put Malaysia first. The Malaysian armed forces has to put Malaysia first. Malaysia first or secede from Malaysia. I hope all Hindu Malaysians will be supportive of Dr.Jeffry Kitingan.
The Christian Kadazans have to choose between cooperating with Hindu Malaysians and Chinese Malaysians on the one hand and cooperating with UMNO/Article 153 of the Federal Constitution on the other hand. If the Christian Kadazans want to cooperate with UMNO, I wish them luck. If the Christian Kadazans want to cooperate with Hindu Malaysians and Chinese Malaysians, they are welcome. I have respect for Christian Kadazans, but they are too small a group to oppose UMNO on their own; and therefore they need the help of other non-Muslim groups.
Another option for Sabahans is to go for full 100% independence. If Sabah secedes and becomes independent, then Sabah and Singapore can have a closer relationship.
Sabah and Sarawak have been turned into colonies of UMNO/Article 153 of the Federal Constitution. Brunei and Singapore have done better because they do not have UMNO.
Now for the important part. A politician needs both local and international support. Dr.Jeffry Kitingan also needs local and international support. It will be the onus of Dr.Kitingan to get support from Sabahans and Sarawakians. That leaves behind international support. It will be the onus of Chinese and Hindu Malaysians to get him support from China and India. It will be the onus of the Christian Malaysians to get him his Western support. Therefore, it is time for the Chinese and Hindu Malaysians to get him support from China and India. Dr.Kitingan can use Chinese Malaysians and Hindu Malaysians to improve his relations with China and India, which will be for the benefit of Sabah First. Dr.Kitingan's trials and tribulations should be explained to China and India. It is time for Chinese and Hindu Malaysians to contact China and India and urge them to keep an eye on this Christian Kadazan Sabahan, Dr.Jeffry Kitingan. With every passing day both China and India are growing socially, politically, and economically; and Dr.Jeffry Kitingan, if he puts Sabah First, will be well advised to improve ties with China and India. In addition, the Third Force is the Borneo Agenda/United Borneo Front needs to bear in mind that the rise of China and India will shift the balance of power.
The Rulers in Malaysia have no elected mandate from the people. The Rulers must voluntarily reduce themselves to a nobody; and the citizens should just ignore the statements from Rulers. People Power must manifest itself. It is People Power that gave India independence from British rule. It is People Power that defeated the Polish communist dictatorship in Poland. It is People Power that ousted former President Marcos from power in Philippines. When the constitution, judicial system, political system, military, police, and bureaucracy are all biased, then people power becomes justifiable. This is the age of people power in Malaysia; and ideally, Malaysia should be decomposed into different interest groups; and each interest group should have a people power of its own to work in its own self-interest. That is, self -interested group with people power. All these self-interest people power groups may end up being kingmakers. Ideally, these different people power groups should conspire among themselves and avoid meeting UMNO people. Ideally, all these people power groups should favor meritocracy over cronyism. Keep avoiding UMNO people. Keep voting against UMNO.
No person in his right mind can take Prophet Mohamed as a role model because Prophet Mohamed is an epileptic pedophile. It is time for Muslims to go into introspection. It is time for Muslims to detach from Prophet Mohamed. Righteous Muslims must have the moral courage to condemn Prophet Mohamed and distance themselves from the Koran; and I think the world has the right to expect such a step from righteous Muslims. The Muslims have remained silent for too long about certain negative things about Islamic history. Some Muslims must be bold enough to condemn Prophet Mohamed. Changing faith is an inviolable human right. I can tell you that if Muslims want to solve the problem, then they should have an independent mind, not just toe the line of the Koran. If Muslims want to solve the problem, then Muslims must detach from the Koran. Muslims must go beyond the Koran. If Prophet Mohamed is an epileptic pedophile, then the next step for Muslims with moral courage is to distance themselves from Prophet Mohamed. I will not blame today's Muslims for what Prophet Mohamed did. But not condemning the Prophet Mohamed is to remain silent. Remaining silent is wrong. May the truth prevail. The behavior of Prophet Mohamed epitomizes a " do as I say and not as I do" culture; and this "do as I say and not as I do" culture is nothing to be proud of. Good Muslims who condemn Prophet Mohamed will earn respect from non-Muslims. It is time for Muslims to stop living on half-truth. It is time for Muslims to grow up and face the truth. I challenge my beloved Muslim brothers and sisters to be supportive of righteousness and break the silence. Please break the silence and condemn Prophet Mohamed. They say that there is no creation without destruction. It is time to destroy Prophet Mohamed so that we can have a new beginning. The world deserves a new beginning. It's about the search for the truth; and may the truth prevail. People must be supportive of the truth.
We need groups that can claim to be kingmakers. We need cooperation among kingmakers. We need a conspiracy among kingmakers. We need unity among kingmakers. We need kingmakers who favor a Malaysia which is well integrated into world trade. We need kingmakers who favor meritocracy over cronyism. All these self-interest people power groups may end up being kingmakers. Ideally, these different people power groups should conspire among themselves and avoid meeting UMNO people. Ideally, all these people power groups should favor meritocracy over cronyism. Keep avoiding UMNO people. Keep voting against UMNO.
Should we tolerate a welfare state and mixed economy? Yes. I don't mind paying more taxes to put some Malays on dole so that the competitive economy may be devoid of some uncompetitive Malays, to put it bluntly. If we put some uncompetitive Malays on dole, then there will be greater meritocracy in the economy and hiring process; which in turn will keep the economy investor friendly. The economy must be allowed to hire based on merit; and the unemployed can collect dole, sit at home and watch TV all day. The less government and politics interferes in the economy, the better it is. We have to keep the hiring process competitive to be investor friendly. Cronyism has to stop. In short, it is a battle between two systems, cronyism and meritocracy. Please support meritocracy. Again, people power groups should conspire to avoid UMNO.
Many non-Malays complain that the government sector has employed far too many Malays. It denies government sector job opportunities to non-Malays. UMNO is responsible. We need an understanding among the various people power groups. The self-interest people power groups should conspire to avoid dealing with UMNO.
The "special rights" of Malays do exist or do not exist. Is Article 153 of the Malaysian constitution defunct or operational? We need a Race Relations Act similar to the one in UK. We need an Act similar to Equality Act 2010(UK). All human beings are equal; there is nobody with "special rights". We may have something to learn from EU Equal Treatment Directives.
Britain has to hold herself responsible for abandoning the non-Muslims to the mercy of UMNO/Article 153 of the Federal Constitution. East Timor/Portuguese Timor or Timor Liste required United Nations intervention for her to get independence from Indonesia. The non-Muslims of Malaysia should urge Britain to discuss the plight of the non-Muslims of Malaysia with the permanent members of the UN Security Council(UNSC) and India. Please inform Dr.Jeffry Kitingan that he must get the support of the permanent members of the UNSC (and India) if he ever dreams of a better deal for Sabah. He must understand that there are similarities between Sabah and Timor Liste. Dr.Jeffry Kitingan must hold the British responsible for abandoning Sabah to the mercy of UMNO/Article 153 of the Federal Constitution. With the rise of China and India, the balance of power will shift.
Please pass the word around to all Hindu Malaysians to keep an eye on Dr.Jeffry Kitingan at the political level. Dr.Jeffry Kitingan is a Christian and therefore all Christian Malaysians should be supportive of him. Either the Federal government put Malaysia first or they allow Sabah to secede. That's it. Please feel free to copy and re-mail this composition to anybody. Those who receive this composition should re-mail it to others. Simply reading my posting and ignoring it will not help. Please read my posting and re-mail it to whoever it may concern.
Please remember that no government in this world has money. The money in the coffers is people's money. The citizens own the money in the coffers. The citizens have a say in how the money in the coffers is used. UMNO/Article 153 will be remembered for arbitrary usage of the money in the coffers.
