Hulu S’gor: Indians semi-slaves’ half hour water supply per day. Compliments to UMNO and PKR.
Slavery has been eliminated in the world about 100 years ago.
But in Malaysia near slavery still exists. In the Changkat Asa Estate in Hulu Selangor 40 Indian families, who have been living there for over 60 years are even denied tap water and allowed only one hour of water supply per day which had earlier been reduced from 3 hours. But at times they get only half an hour of water supply per day!
Their two room estate houses do not have doors and toilets are clogged up and not repaired. There are no street lights and people live in darkness after dark and they have to wait for hours for the public bus.
They probably also earn RM 13 per day x 26 days = RM 338 per month as plantation workers with no EPF, Socso and medical benefits like their plantation worker brothers in Cameron Highlands.
The UMNO government has acknowledged income of RM 2,000 per month as low income households and extreme poverty as those earning RM 440 and below per month.
(The Star 29/1/10 at page N 41). But UMNOs’ RM 48 million welfare help allocation for 2010 will never reach these Indian poor ( Star and NST headlines 24/10/09). Why?
We have never read or heard of any other Malay, Chinese, orang asli or native communities suffering to this extent, ie., without even piped water when prosperous Malaysia has even the tallest twin towers in the world. Because they all have some political and/or economic clout which the Indians do not have.
Compliments to 50 years of the UMNO regime rule and over two years of the PKR led rule in Selangor! These atrocities to the Indian poor has today refused to be addressed even by PKR, DAP and PAS ruled Selangor.
Water supply is the responsibility of the PKR, DAP and PAS Selangor State government.
But when we raise the issue why this level of near slave living conditions of the Indian poor in Malaysia remaining unresolved and never happening to any other community in Malaysia, even PKR Supremo label this as the Hindraf racist agenda!
