Stateless Citizen BN’s Failure

Refer to Malaysiakini report Cabinet orders MIC to counter Hindraf ‘lies’ towards Malaysian Indian Minority and Human Rights Violations Annual Report 2008 presented by P Waythamoorthy as Chairman of Hindraf during recently concluded Pravasi Bharathiya Divas ( Overseas Indian Conference) in Chennai India.

The Concern raised by Cabinet itself shows the failure of Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC) and Barisan Nasional Government uplifting Malaysian of Indian origin. Being in power for more than 50 over years MIC should had the fact and figures within 24 hours upon revelations of Waythamoorthy’s report. However, despite two over weeks they yet to release any TRUE FACT and FIGURES as whatever they been preaching so far remain false.

Out of 42 points raised on the booklet, MIC only disputing 2 of its point namely:

1. Temple Demolishment

2. Stateless Indians figure

Before we look into the issues in detail, I’m wonder why Human Resource Minister Subramaniam failed to highlight his fellow cabinet members on police Brutality towards Indians in custody. Recently, medias highlighted Police brutality against suspect Prabakar by splashing HOT WATER while interrogation. He should also sake the clarification of where about of Prabakar missing Cousin SOLOMON from Police custody. Why don’t he brought this matter further together with issues such as lack of facilities at Tamil schools and temple demolishment in Kuala Lumpur.

Stateless Indian Figures.
Waythamoorthy claimed that about 150,000 Malaysians Indians (third, fourth and fifth generation Indians) are made Stateless by denying them Birth Certificates in his report. While , as usual Hot Tampered Samyvelu denied the fact in Chennai on the same evening after Waythamoorthy release the report. Why Samy as MIC Chairman hold the press conference and not by Subramanian the sole Cabinet Minister representing Indian in Malaysia.

Like UMNO leaders whom keep denying everything right from NEP achievements , Indians actual earnings , actual figure of Hindraf mammoth gathering on Nov 25, 2007, current economic conditions, and finally to signal giving by rakyat during just over Kuala Terengganu by election.

On the same basis, UMNO keep saying NO, NO, NO to whatever fact and figures highlighted by independent Medias. Official news media only reported 30,000 as gathered during Hindraf Nov 25 gathering about 1/3 of what those present claims. While, Samyvelu claims about millions turn to Batu Caves Thaipusam 2008 festivals when in fact it presence of devotess almost one third then previous years turned to Batu Caves despite Federal Government declared Public Holiday.

Dr. V. Suryanarayan is Senior Professor and Director (Retd), Centre for South and Southeast Asian Studies, University of Madras in his paper titled Malaysian Indian Society in Ferment figured that 50,000 Indians in Malaysia as stateless. As all official figure reduce by one third, thus the actual Stateless figure should be around 150,000 as claimed by Waythamoorthy.

MIC may claim millions of ringgit from Treasury as part of their effort to counter allegation by Hindraf Chairman, but they might not able to reduce the stateless even by 10% of official figure.
