KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 1 (Bernama) -- The Indian community's perception
towards Barisan Nasional led by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun
Razak is positive, said MIC deputy president Datuk Seri Dr S.
Subramaniam.
"Their support is between 60 and 75 percent - it varies in each area," he said after launching a book, 'The Dancing Girl: A History of Early India' at Royal Lake Club, Lake Gardens here Wednesday.
Dr Subramaniam, who is also Human Resource Minister, said the recent announcement by the Prime Minister on the allocation for six new national type (Tamil) primary schools in Kedah, Perak, Selangor and Johor was positively received by the Indian community.
On the 313-page book written by the late Dr Balaji Sadasivan, who was also a former Singapore Foreign Affairs Senior Minister, he said it was good for the young generation to read regardless of whether they were Indians or of other races.
"It traces the history of the community who are now estimated to number 25 million scattered in 110 countries," he said.
Present at the launch of the book published by the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (ISEAS) in Singapore and supported by the Singapore High Commission in Kuala Lumpur with the cooperation of the Medico-Legal Society of Malaysia and Gandhi Memorial Trust of Malaysia, were Dr Balaji's widow Dr Ma Swan Hoo and ISEAS director, K. Kesavapany.
