Malay-sian UMNO Cabinet rightly express condolences to Aminulrasyid’s family. But zero such condolences for hundreds of Indians shot dead by police and murdered in police lock-ups.
The Cabinet expressed its sadness and condolences to the family of Aminulrasyid Amzah, 15, who was killed in Shah Alam on April 26. “The incident was most regretted,” said a statement issued by the prime minister’s office in Putrajaya yesterday. The cabinet wanted investigations to be carried out in fair and transparent manner and as soon as possible so that everyone, especially the boy’s family and the policemen involved, would get justice, the statement said (NST 6/5/10 at page 2).
The Special panel to investigate this death is led by a high profile team lead by the Deputy Home Minister, Tan Sri Hanif Omar and the former Inspector General of Police etc down to work early this morning (MM 5/5/10 at page 3).
But this very same UMNO controlled Malay-sian Cabinet has zero history of ever expressing condolences, regrets etc on the hundreds if not thousands of Indians shot dead by police and murdered in police lock ups over the last twenty years.
Malaysia is about the only country in the world where race matters to this level when you are a victim of an injustice.
In A. Kugan’s case, the evidence was overwhelming of police murder but the Malay-sian Cabinet did not ever even once express regret or convey their  condolences to the family of A. Kugan simply because the victims was merely the soft target Indians.
The Malay-sian cabinet never bothered to express their regrets or condolences to the family of the two Indian brothers who were murdered by the police sharp shooters in their shoot to kill policy in Taiping on 11/4/2010 and when there were three eye witnesses.
When it comes to Indian victims, they are quickly branded as criminals and deserve to die at the hands of the police without having to go through the due process of the law. When it is Aminulrasyid or Teoh Beng Hock, different standards are applied by UMNO, PKR, DAP, PAS, NGOs’ the Indian elite & journalists and the “multi –racial” Malaysian civil society.
But when we cry against this racism, even the PKR Supremo, Raja Petra, the Indian elite accuse us of being racist. UMNO otherwise says this is One Malay-sia!
While UMNO is guilty by commission the rest of the aforesaid supposed multi-racial Malaysian community is guilty by omission. Note the headlines, front page news and news herein below for the ninth day in a row. When the victim is a Malay or Teoh Beng Hock they similarly received headlines and high profile news coverage.
But on the same day of Teoh Beng Hock’s murder in MACC custody, one P. Gunasegaran was killed in the Sentul Police station. But UMNO, the Malaysian Cabinet, PKR, DAP, PAS Malaysiakini.com, the Indian elite, NGOs etc did not care simply because the victim was a “mere Indian”.
