The MIC mandore party of UMNO in wanting to be seen to be doing something engages in “schoolbag politics” dished out by their UMNO Tuan State Assemblyman Dato Haji Hamdi.
We hardly read about the Chinese and Malay Standard One children being given school bags. It would perhaps insult them if school bags are “donated” to them.
But for these Indian minority, children in Malay-sia, this schoolbag donation only reflects their height of poverty. (TN 19/1/10 page 3).
Why not permanent and lasting solutions like putting these poor Indian children in fully residential schools or offer their parents the 10 acre land ownership schemes given to the Malay muslim poor like in Felda, Risda, Felcra, Fama, Agropolition and the tens of state government land schemes. Have the Indian representatives in Pakatan raised this issue?
