DBKL’s low cost PPR, PA flats published only in Utusan Malaysia, not in Tamil newspapers, Tamil Radio 6 and TV news

It is a known fact that after 52 years of being excluded from the national mainstream development of Malaysia, the working class Indians in particular suffer a distant worst in terms being squatters, homeless and landless among which are as follows:-

1) To start off with the 44,146 Projek Perumahan Rakyat (PPR) and Perumahan Awam (PA) was also never published and/or advertised in the three Tamil daily newspapers, Tamil Radio 6 and in the RTM and Bernama daily Tamil news bulletins. But it was only covered in Utusan Malaysia on 5/11/2009 at page 27) and the other Malay dailies.

2) The few who had gone to DBKL to apply for these flats are either rejected at even the counter level or given the run around so much so they give up and/or tore up their forms. (Refer Star Metro 5/11/2009 at page M3). We hope that it was never intended by your goodselves for this to be this way.

We hereby call upon your goodselves to:-

1) Extend the deadline for the application of these PPR and PA low cost flats to at least 31/12/2009.

2) Also sell or rent these PPR and PA low cost flats to the poor, homeless, landless and working class Indians on a needs basis as opposed to being race and/or religious based.

3) Aggressively advertise the said 44, 146 units of low cost flats also in the three tamil press, Tamil Radio 6 and on their hourly news on a daily basis and also daily on RTM and Bernama Tamil news bulletins until our proposed extended dateline of 31/12/2009.

4) An Anti Race and Religious Discrimination Commission by an Act of Parliament be set up to give effect to Article 8 of the Federal Constitution which provides for equality before the law (and by extension equal opportunities before the law).

5) In the interim a counter and also a hot line is opened at the Prime Minister’s office for the general public to report and/or complain of racism and religious extremism and with the view to take the appropriate action against all such counter level staff, implementing staff and officers and any civil servant practicing and/or implementing racist and religious extremist policies.

All the above would definitely put into practice your goodselves One Malaysia slogan.

Kindly revert to us accordingly.

Thank you.

Your faithfully,
