No Tamil literature protest. MIC has no power. UMNO rules. Why shoot the MIC mandore messenger? Another discrimination to the minorities

The Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has stated that beginning next year SPM students would only be allowed to take a maximum of ten subjects.

This was today again reaffirming by the Director General (DG) of the Education Ministry Tan Sri Alimuddin Mohd Dom. This is the latest of the UMNO racist and religious extremist policies in hampering the studies of Tamil and Tamil literature.

The DG even had the cheek to say “where such vernacular subjects were thought, (schools) could take the initiative to issue special certificates to students who took school examinations in vernacular subjects, for Form Five school leavers”. (Refer NST 2/12/2009 at page 9). We all know from experience that the UMNO controlled schools would not do so.

Alimuddin told he New Straits Times that these certificates could be produced by students when they wished to apply for jobs requiring proficiency in a vernacular subject.

Even if UMNO reverts to allowing the 12 subjects as earlier, they think they got to score the political points on a free ride just by taking away the existing Indian students rights, causing anxiety and dissatisfaction and then finally making a grand announcement that the Indian students are allowed to take the said 12 subjects including Tamil and Tamil literature. This is how UMNIO has been cheating the Indians for over the last 52 years.

Then sole MIC Minister can only like his predecessor Samy Vellu who had done the same thing for the previous 30 years say one or move of the following things:-

1. He would raise it at the Cabinet Meeting.

2. He would bring it up with Prime Minister.

3. He would raise it in Parliament.

It is plain and obvious that the MIC has no power to solve even an elementary problem like this though they are supposed to be a component party in the UMNO led government.

So why shoot the MIC mandore messenger?

The protesting Indian NGOs’ should get to the point and go after the DPM and Education Minister Muhyiddin Yassin and not beat around the bush.

So why burn the effigy of the MIC Mandore? Get to the point. Go for the decision makers and policy makers. Go for the Tuan! And not the MIC Mandore!
