We want an end to the 53 year old UMNO/BN’s rule of Malaysia without a break in the chain. In fact we see this as the reason for 70% of the Malaysian Indians being poor and hardcore poor when the national average is about the other way around ie only 30% poor and hardcore poor Malay muslims.
Out of no other alternative, we want PR to take over Putrajaya. And we agree to Anwar Ibrahim becoming the next Prime Minister.
But we are not prepared to give Anwar Ibrahim, PKR, DAP, PAS/PR a blank cheque to Putrajaya as we are not prepared to trust 100% PR and their Indian mandores in Putrajaya vis a vis the Indian poor. HRP wants to be PR’s check and balance in Putrajaya and in at least seven frontline Indian populated states of Kedah, Penang, Perak, Selangor, N. Sembilan, Pahang and Johor vis a vis HRP’s Project 15/38.
That is HRP the political wing of Hindraf contesting in 15 Indian populated Parliamentary seats and 38 state assembly seats to be the real and non mandorist voice of especially the Indian poor as the only way to end racism and religious extremism in Malaysia.
In return HRP and Hindraf will ask all it’s supporters in all the rest of the 222 Parliamentary constituencies and 576 state constituencies to vote for PKR, DAP and PAS/PR unflinchingly.
Why not? In fact this is the deal the MIC has had with UMNO/BN, without even opening their mouth MIC already has 9 Parlimentary seats in their bag albeit under their mandorism arrangements with UMNO.
But in the Opposition PR front Anwar Ibrahim, Lim Kit Siang and Hadi Awang are not even prepared to make way for HRP in even one Parliamentary seat. Why? Please don’t tell us about the 11 Indian Mandore MPs who are not empowered to speak up for the Indian poor. Pray tell us of one public forum organized by any of these 11 Indian or the 76 PKR, DAP and PAS MPs even one Parliamentary question or any motion at all concerning even one critical Indian problem!
The tip of the iceberg being an estimated 150,000 Indian children being denied even their birth certificates by the UMNO regime. Why? Why not?
It is because there are scores of other pressing Indian problems abandoned by the top leadership of PKR, DAP and PAS/PR and their 76 MPs that we need the 15 and 38 HRP Parliamentary and state seats.
If PR contests in our our selected seats and makes it a three cornered fight, then those 15 and 38 seats goes to BN! It is up to PR to choose its strategies wisely.
