UMNO has so much resources at its disposal - why does it not allocate appropriately for Indian youth

Amanah Ikhitiar Malaysia (AIM) targets RM 1 Billion in micro loans with eight new AIM branches to be opened to it’s existing 68 branches to facilitate loans of up to RM 50, 000.00 each. Since it’s operation AIM has disbursed RM 3.5 Billion to 230, 000 petty traders since it’s inception (Berita Harian 18/11/2009 at page 22)

But we estimate only about 1% of this RM 3.3 Billion has been disbursed to especially the deserving Indian youths. The UMNO led Malaysia government merely plays wayang kulit by getting their mandores Indian political party to dish out RM 8, 000.00 or so to the said 0.1% to the Indians. What tto start up a “kacang putih” business. And then this mandores Indian party is assigned to create the usual “ayam telur sebiji rioh sekampong” print and electronic propaganda at a ceremony and dishing out the RM 8, 000.00 to about ten (10) people even then their cronies a few times a year so much for the RM 1Billion AIM loans vis a vis the deserving Indians. These UMNO Indian mandores then falsely tell the Indians that they have to take advantage of the opportunities provided by the UMNO government. They then falsely publicise that the Indians are not interested in petty trading.

No Indian youth would want to indulge in a world of crime and risk being shot dead by the police.

Give them equal opportunities in petty trading, business, job opportunities, projects, tenders and skills training as given to almost all the malay muslim deserving people.

Such blatant and direct discrimination does not happen in any other part of the world except in One Malaysia.

To add insult to injury RM 1 Billion has been allocated to the police force in the 2010 Budget. What to more efficiently shoot dead Indian youths?

For this RM 1 Billion, a matching RM 1 Billion should be allocated in the Indian youths and from which at least RM 100 Million to be disbursed monthly with effect from 31/1/2010 and an Equal Opportunities Commission and an Anti Racial Discrimination Commission with serious implementation powers like in the United Kingdom be forthwith set up and urgently implemented.

This is because UMNO has a 52 year old history of making grand announcements and fanfare for the Indian poor but up to even zero of the for example RM 100 Million funds announced ever drained down the Finance Ministry to any of the 523 Tamil Schools with the lame excuse that “the price of material went up” (Refer The Star 30/09/2009 and our letter to the Prime Minister dated 13/10/2009 and also posted in our website).

And thus the 52 year old UMNO political gimmicks and the latest being UMNO Prime Minister Najib Razak’s One Malaysia.
