FMT LETTER: From Mathias Gomes, via e-mail
Waythamoorthy’s fast is into its 17th day, and up till today he is fine, and well, a little lethargic perhaps, now what has he achieved in this self induced fast? Looks like he is famous for self induced things , remember his self exiled to UK for four years. But boy’ can we forget the euphoria that he and his brother created on Nov 25, 2007, thousands of Indians converged at the KLCC area , in front of the British Embassy and had a stand off with the Police for four hours.
The police shot water jets laced with chemical, and tear gas at the people, but the Indians stood steadfast and only dispersed when the police stopped, the aftermath saw hundreds arrested, and five heroes were made. Yes’ the Hindraf Five who were in ISA, and revered by Indians for their sacrifice.
Fast forward to today , all five have been released and parted ways, and have left their NGO’s and become political wannabees, one guy Thenindran hijacked the Makal Shakti cry into a political party with the support of Najib and BN, monetary (rumored he received close to RM10 million to renege) as well authority and that must be the fastest approval for a political party in Malaysia, and up till today Uthaya is finding hard to register his HRP party, lest’ we forget Pakatan too cannot form a merged entity with the approval from ROS.
That is the ruling government for you, they feel it is their right not to accept any application, that will be against them, foul play at the foulest.
The almost 30,000 crowd on Nov 25, 2007 at the KLCC area converged because of only one factor, the motivation of 1 million pounds for each Indian in Malaysia, Waytha promised to sue the British Government for about 4 Trillion pounds, for bringing the Indians (Tamils) to then Malaya as labourers and then leaving them high and dry, they reneged on their promise.
He convinced everyone that he will sue the British Government and get its dues, but the BN Government tried stopping them unnecessarily and created a blunder by tear gas , arrests and sprayed the people with chemical laced water. this action by the Police had given the opposition a boost when the Indians totally rejected MIC and BN in GE 12.
Hindraf at that time was like the saviour to the Indians, so it was obvious of the support. Hindraf was banned subsequently thus attaining a symbolic presence with the Indians. read:
(He is suing the British Government. He is accusing the British government, which was then managing British Malaya of “abandoning minority Indians to the mercy of majoritarian Malay rule while granting independence on Aug 31, 1957″. Waythamoorthy Ponnusamy is suing for the British Government to pay £1,000,000 to each Malaysian Indian for the “pain, suffering, humiliation, discrimination and continuous colonisation”. This extraordinary lawsuit is being backed by Hindraf or Hindu rights action force.) source Wikipedia.
Just as Malaysia was celebrating her 50th Independence on Aug 31, 2007, Waythamoorthy led a team of lawyers to file a 4 trillion pound lawsuit against the British Government. “After a century of slaving for the British, the colonial government withdrew after granting independence and they left us unprotected and at the mercy of a majority Malay-Muslim government that has violated our rights as minority Indians,” said Waytha after filing the suit.[2] He is also seeking to strike out Article 153 of the Malaysian Constitution which acknowledges Malay Supremacy. He also wants the court to declare that Malaysia is a secular state and not an Islamic one.
Waythamoorthy’s self exile and his propaganda overseas regarding the plight of Indians in Malaysia made him into a cult status with the Indians in Malaysia,everyone heaped praises on this man for highlighting the cause globally on his own. They pitied his separation from his loved family, it was four long years after the fateful day when he ran away for fear of being arrested on ISA.
His passport was cancelled and he was a political refugee in UK, he became the enemy No1 of Malaysia, the then Home Minister who cancelled his passport spewed venom on him as a traitor and he was despised by the ruling government, for his propaganda overseas. All these changed on Aug 1, 2012 at 12.20pm when he walked through the gates of KLIA with minimum harassment, Bersih’s spoke persons suffered more when they leave or entered Malaysia, so it is indeed a surprise , when we hear he was not harassed at all,after being the’ Enemy of State’ to the extent of getting his passport cancelled by the Home Minister, prior to this Najib gave him a valid passport to travel back to Malaysia and subsequently lifted the ban on Hindraf.
Waytha traveled to many parts of Malaysia reviving the cause of Hindraf, but now his talks have mellowed , there is no more Umno-BN Bashing or smirking MIC as the mandores for the Indians, but he and his lieutenants thrashed Pakatan at every turn. Why the change? He has prepared a blueprint for the marginalised Indians which covers all aspects for the improvement of the Indians in Malaysia, in fact it is the best proposal, if it can be endorsed, and he knows it will be a hard act to follow by Pakatan due to Pakatan’s unique collaboration with PKR, DAP and PAS.
He said he wants Pakatan to accept the blueprint, even though Pakatan’s leaders have not officially said ‘No’. He concluded that no one wants to endorsed it, so he has started a hunger strike (with only water) to create awareness to both Pakatan and Barisan Nasional so he says. After the 15th day of his fast he suddenly says at the invitation of Najib, he and his lieutenants will be visiting Putrjaya to talk over the blueprint, and today after his visit he says ‘all is well’ and needs another round of talks soon with Najib, most probably to ‘me thinks’ to finalise the unholy alliance.
My question here, has Waytha sold out? How did he walk in through KLIA without harassment? Why the Pakatan bashing? Why do you need an alliance with a government that suppressed the Indians for 55 years, which was the main cause that made Hindraf ‘s struggle against this government?
Finally if we need about RM4.5 billion for the successful implementation of this blueprint, why didn’t he continue his struggle to sue the British government for 4 trillion pounds? Even if he gets a quarter of that money, it will be enough to implement the blueprint for the Indians.
My fervent prayer is I hope he won’t be the Pied Piper for the Indians and lead us into a trap to endorse Barisan Nasional to rule over us for another 55 years, and the icing of the cake will be if all of this is true, then Najib and his foreign advisors have pulled off the biggest conspiracy prior to GE 13th.
