Indian poor abandoned in PKR’s Selangor and UMNOs’ Welfare Department


url indian poor Indian poor abandoned in PKR’s Selangor and UMNOs’ Welfare Department
Unemployed, poor and illiterate, a product of the UMNO system, B. Muniammah (55) could not afford to repair her dilapidated wooden house in the last 30 years. And neither has the UMNO federal Welfare Department given B. Muniammah a single cent of monthly welfare help.
The Federal UMNO government announced a National budget of RM 191.5 billion, out which RM 48 million is for the poor and needy in terms of welfare help, (NST, Star headlines on 24/11/09) implemented hundreds of thousands of UMNO projects repairing houses of the mainly malay poor. UMNO TNB: RM 900,000.00 allocation to repair 65 poor Malay houses. Indian poor excluded.
 Similarly the PKR led Selangor State government, the richest state in Malaysia approved a RM 1.9 billion state budget, including for welfare and upgrading the lives of the poor.
But somehow all these billions, welfare help and house repairing projects by both sides of the political divide does not reach the Indian poor! Why?
UMNO’s racist, religious extremist and supremacism has spilled over to PKR? And DAP and PAS too?
