UMNO’s Appalam Tamil movie launch on 25th November 2010 is to divert attention away from 3rd Anniversary of 25th November 2007 Hindraf Rally on 25/11/

This only proves that UMNO is still terrified about Hindraf’s 25th November 2007 Hindraf Rally, and our 3rd Anniversary tomorrow at KLCC, the Prime Minister’s office at Putrajaya, and ending at the Batu Caves Temple.

The UMNO mainstream media in particular the Vellithirai Astro TV station has been broadcasting propaganda over the last one week or so about this Tamil movie Appalam, which features unusually the non Tamil speaking Jacklyn Victor and many other young local actors and singers whom the Malaysian younger generation relate to.
And this movie too being broadcast the first Malaysian Tamil movie after a 24 years gap.

And why does this Tamil movie premier launch has to be on 25th November 2010 a weekday? Why not on the prime Saturday night which will draw the most audience?
This is the typical and classical UMNO diversion tactic and this time to divert attention away from the 25th November 2010, Hindraf hunger strike at KLCC from 9.00 a.m and ending at 3.00 p.m.

This is not going to work. Hindraf will continue getting the support of the Indian poor and Indian masses as long as UMNO/BN refuse to address the genuine grievances, and at the very least the pressing Indian poor problems at the ground.
The moral of the story – UMNO cannot succeed by taking short cut diversion tactics. Get to the point UMNO.

We hope the performers are aware that they are being used for political purposes to try and weaken the Indian community.
