A Mix subject; Leaders did not perform as they promised.
By Rwindraj
The Hindraf leaders who went under the Draconian unlawful ISA detention without trial for 2 years have been released from Kamunting detention centre. They are now free to conduct their social services to fight against the discrimination, poverty, religious issues and marginalization of the Indians in Malaysia including human rights issues.
The political tsunami which caused the Nation shivered on March 08, 2008 was mainly the call for unity among Indians by the Hindraf leaders. Which cannot be denied by anyone, although some leaders are ungrateful and forgotten it. There is an informal quote about the 3rd March GE “Even if a donkey had been placed on the constitution in Penang, Perak and Selangor as a candidate, it will win! People have decided to throw the votes blindly to the opposition for a change.
The supremacy of the word Makkal Sakthi which was introduced by Hindraf is now being exploited by leaders such as Thanenthiran who is clearly seen working on self interest and fame. Not to help the Indians, he is known to be the traitor among the Indians and now holds the number one position as the most hated Indian so-called Leader of MMSP, although he doesn’t posses the real leadership attitudes. He is well known as a main trader that sold the slogan Makkal Sakthi to the UMNO leadership and he has a plan to overturn Samy Vellu and the MIC as the main Indian Giant party although the party has lost its trust from the people in the last General Election when most of its candidates lost their seats including its president which lost his seat to Dr.Jeyakumar in Sungai Siput.
It is believed that Samy Vellu was the first Barisan Nasional person that had visited him in the hospital in Penang when he was hospitalized due to chest complication after Anwar Ibrahim refused to give him a seat as a candidate in one by-election in Kedah, he has challenged Anwar Ibrahim with a deadline but Anwar ignored him even after the challenge. On the day of the deadline he admitted himself. Thanenthiran was a sacked Hindraf National Coordinator for an unknown reason.
The five Hindraf ISA detainees and its chairman Waythamoorthy had the influence towards the Indians in Malaysia before the November 25, 2007 and while serving their unlawful confinement in Kamunting Detention Centre. Indians were united for a change and freedom in term of opportunities in studies, business, job opportunities and religious rights. Indians were denied a progress in the National Mainstream equally with other races especially the Malays and privileged Bumiputera under the banner of the Barisan Nasional Government since Independence. They are less attracted now since they did not show a unity among themselves although the reason behind it is too complicated and need a thorough study and explanation.
Indians and Chinese hand to hand has voted to support the opposition party along with some one-hearted Malays to bring a change in the country, in the hope that they will bring changes and equality and transparency.
Leaders such as Lim Guan Eng, Ramasamy and RSN Rayer from Penang had broken their promises witnessed by the King of Law of Malaya Karpal Singh. They will be the main obstacle for Anwar Ibrahim’s dream to be the Prime Minister and one of the main reasons why the Indians supporters are jumping ship. Anwar has showered his own sands in his dreams by promising something that he is incapable of in Penang. Lim Guan Eng has ignored the plead by his own state citizens in Kg.Buah Pala that has worked for his party day and night by comparing them as “only 24 families” and downgrade himself as “Powerless compared to Barisan Nasional Government” repeatedly. He had shattered the ‘Dream for a change’ by millions of longing hearts.
Current parties participated by Indians in Malaysia will be PPP, Gerakan, IPF, HRP, UMIP, Keadilan, MIC, DAP, including PAS, and more parties are predicted to be emerging soon. This is a great sign to certain quarters which hopes for the split of the Indian votes, whom are known to be the king makers, or the deciding factor in the victory of the election candidates.
The unity among Indians here is in a critical disposition when the leaders of the community are hunger for self gain and addicted to fame and glamour.
Each and every leader in the country has to be ‘selfless being’ in order to achieve the unity and improvement of the community. Leaders must not be pointing fingers on a different direction but has to point finger to them in order to achieve the desired improvement of the community. Rather than working on a blaming games and fighting to be outstanding in the medias, leaders has to work hand in hand without bothering their believes and differences, to achieve the unity and influences to attract respect to the community as whole. A car with several steering will lead to No where!
