(Malaysiakini) The Human Rights Party has filed a police report in Penang against the
government over what it described as "race based" disbursement of Public
Services Department (JPA) scholarships, study loans and seat allocation
for students of higher learning.
In his police report, HRP advisor N Ganesan (far left)
urged the police to investigate Prime Minister Najib Razak, his deputy
and Education Minister Muyhiddin Yassin, Higher Education Minister
Mohamed Khalid Nordin, and Minister in the Prime Minister's Department
Nazri Aziz over the issue.
He also urged the police to probe the Umno-led government, especially the violations of Article 8 and Article 12 of the Federal Constitution for denying the Malaysian Indian students of their basic right to education.
"This level of racism, religious extremism and supremacy do not exist in any other part of the world except in Najib Razak's One Malaysia," he told reporters after filing his report at the Jalan Patani police station last night.
Much hand wringing over issue
"Today Malaysia is the most racist and supremacist country in the world," he charged, asking the force to reply to him in writing within two weeks, failing which he would assume the contents of his police report to be true.
Ganesan said the government has committed a "gross abuse of executive power" by not revealing the details of the scholarship recipients', terming it a flawed process of "implementing transparently".
Later, Nazri had reportedly said that there was "no concrete evidence" when the proof itself was a state secret, he added.
He was referring to Nazri's June 14 statement, where he had said "It is the government's policy not to reveal the marks of the recipients to the public to protect their individual rights and privacy."
Nazri added that " there is no further concrete proof of abuse of power in awarding scholarships, looking at the fact that the implementation was done transparently and in order as dictated by the cabinet decision of 14th Jan 2009."
The Malaysian Indian-rights party views the issue of scholarship disbursement and seats allocations in institutions of higher learning for students from the community as contradicting the Federal Constitution.
