Why does Najib see Malaysians in terms of ethnic groups - Malays, Indians, Chinese, Eurasians (including Pak Lah's wife), Mongolians, Sri Lankans, etc....
Why can't he just see them all as Malaysians....
Why can't he just see them all as people of Permatang Pauh...
Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak made a plea to the Chinese and Indian communities in Permatang Pauh - come back to the Barisan Nasional's fold.
MCPXHe told them to reject the opposition and vote for Umno's Arif Shah Omar Shah in the Aug 26 by-election. - Malaysiakini, 19/8/2008, Najib wants Indians, Chinese to back BN
This is one the reasons why I would reject Najib and the BN - they do not see people as Human Beings, God's creation, Malaysians....
After 50 years in power, finally Najib admits the governments failure with regard to the Indian community - by that formation special cabinet committee was formed to look after the well-being of the Indian community. (Will there be special communities for the Orang Asli, the Ceylonese, the Sri Lankans, the Thais, the Eurasians, the Baba communities, the Chettys, the Mamak and/or the Kaka communities, the Hokkien communtity, ...for if there is none then again minority groups are being discriminated against....and until they form an Action Force and go to the street in protest, they will be marginalized....)
Talking specifically about the Indian community, Najib, also the deputy BN chairperson, said that a special cabinet committee was formed to look after the well-being of the Indian community who had long complained of being marginalised by the Umno-led BN government.
He also said that the government was doing much to increase the educational opportunities of the Indian community.
He was reported in Bernama as saying that vocational and skills training courses were conducted for those living in the estates.
And specifically for the Indian voters in Permatang Pauh - numbering some 3,500 voters - Najib said the government has agreed to approve scrap metal collector's licence for them.
He also announced aid for three Tamil primary schools and six Chinese primary schools.- Malaysiakini, 19/8/2008, Najib wants Indians, Chinese to back BN
And Najib's solutions are pathetic :-
- SCRAP METAL COLLECTOR'S LICENCE
- vocational and skills training courses for those living in the estates (Hello...not all Indians live in estates,...and you really should go to the estates and you will find that the ethnic composition of estates have changed so much...)
- Tamil schools (you have to realize that there are other Indians - Malayalees, Telugus, Gujeratis, Punjabis, Sinds, Goanese, etc in Malaysia - not just Tamils (and there are many Tamils who do not read and write Tamil let alone attend Tamil schools...
Really, Najib should be silent - he is so insulting when he speaks in the manner...
One thing that Najib is not at all addressing is the question of the Temples that the government allowed to be demolished - will it be re-build for the communities?
One thing that Najib is not at all addressing is when will he be releasing Uthayakumar and the 4 others, who did awaken minority Indians to stand up and demand an end to discrimination and other rights abuse...
SCRAP metal license and some donations to some Tamil schools is really not the way of addressing the problem...
And, in fact all communities will be happy if you just started treating Malaysians as Malaysians - irrespective of their ethnicity, religion, cultural background, economic background, political affliations, etc - just treat us all EQUALY as human persons...as creatures of God. Help them who are poor and underpriviledge. Distribute wealth and opportunities equitably...
Just appeal to the people of Permatang Pauh for their support......
