5,000 Indian youths detained without trial under Emergency Ordinance (E.O) per year for gangsterism. Root cause is denial of equal skills training and upward mobility jobs, licenses, business opportunities, bank loans, contracts and projects.

Re: 5,000 Indian youths detained without trial under Emergency Ordinance (E.O) per year for gangsterism. Root cause is denial of equal skills training and upward mobility jobs, licenses, business opportunities, bank loans, contracts and projects.
The Utusan Malaysia today 20/9/10 at pages 1 and 6 calls on the Malay-sian police to curtail the Indian gangsterism problems in Malay-sia in the light of the Datuk Susilawati murder case. We are against all forms of crime and violence and call for the appropriate action and punishment including by members of the Malay-sian police force.
Addressing the Indian gangsterism problem must be tackled from the root and not from the tip by merely detaining without trial under the Emergency Ordinance (E.O) of up to an estimated 5,000 Indian youths per year nationwide as an expediency measure. (This estimated figure is based on the 300 Indian youths detained under the E.O within four months in the state of Selangor alone as reported in UM 20/9/10 at page 6).
No Indian youth would want to become a gangster if he was not denied equal educational opportunities by all the 523 Tamil schools not being made fully aided, not denied equal skills training including at Giat Mara Colleges, denied the ten acre Felda like land ownership schemes, equal Higher Education opportunities in the 20 public Universities including in critical courses like medicine, engineering, pharmacy, bio technology, actuarial science, Dentistry etc., local and overseas Universities government scholarships not denied by JPA, Khazanah, Petronas, Mara, 13 Yayasan Negeris, Yayasan TNB, Yayasan TN, scores of GLCs’ etc and PTPTN loans to also Indian students even to do medicine in local and overseas private Universities and also not denied business opportunities, licenses, permits and APs to do business and participate in contracts and projects. And not denied government and bank loans for these Indian youths to do business.
Even about ten years ago the then Chief Police officer of Kuala Lumpur Syed Abdul Rahman Syed Abd Kadir was reported to have said that proper granting of upward mobility jobs and business opportunities would keep Indians out of gangsterism activities. Like how the Chinese gangsters who were reigning supreme in the 1960s’ and 1970s’ but are not denied licenses, APs’ and opportunities in various businesses from the lowest rung ie Koay Teow sellers who earn an average of RM5,000.00 per month to VCD sellers, wholesale and retail businesses, supermarkets, hypermarkets, hotels and right up to multi million ringgit development and construction works and Projects.
But the ground reality is these Indian youths are denied even licenses to operate a scrap metal shop, car wash, food, flower and fruit stalls. And denied even garbage collection, security guard and car park contracts. Let alone being given the opportunities to run Petrol Stations, Ayamas outlets, Proton outlets and Proton service centre outlets, KFC, Mc Donald, low rental Highway R&R shops and Local Council stalls etc.
These are the real reasons arising out of UMNOs’ social engineering as to why these Indian youths get side tracked into gangsterism and violent crimes vis a vis the escalating crime rate vis a vis the emergence of the new Indian criminal underclass at disproportionate levels amongst the mere 8% Malaysian Indian community.
In the circumstances telling the UMNOs’ MIC mandores to divert the real issue by blaming Tamil movies, lack of parental care and guidance also by the Indian NGOs’ and Indian community and that even the Bangladeshis can earn a living in Malaysia (but gets to send home thousands of rupees) as is reported in UM 19/9/10 at 7 is a cheap racist and supremacist UMNO political gimmick.
Kindly therefore implement policies to solve the root causes of gangsterism and violent crimes by the aforesaid upward education and business mobility, education, jobs, loans and contracts opportunities.
Kindly revert to us accordingly.
Thank You.
Yours Faithfully,
