Hindraf MOU with BN a quantum leap for Malaysian Indians

Wong Mun Chee

It is fascinating the amount of articles that has surfaced, condemning the move in a typical Goebbels mindset.

Practically all these articles talks about Waytha and the typical personal accusation, just another hate mongering method exercised by or for those interested parties.

I am pretty sure that HINDRAF would have expected this as they appear to be very cool and collected about it to show their maturity that speaks volume for the grassroots movement that they represent.

HINDRAF is aware of the summer soldiers and sunshine patriots who occasionally arise but rather take a nonchalant attitude about it because they will never bring real change for the people that they represent, like what HINDRAF had done.

None of those articles talks about the issues at stake and how they were able to coerce BN to agree, at least in principle, but merely an unsubstantiated assumption to feed into their frustration for their own needs.

Whether BN is going to honor it or not is a secondary question, but PR wouldn’t even bother to look at it.

Nobody has fought so hard for the Malaysian Indians like HINDRAF had and that is a fact. We can write as much as we want under the ministry of falsehood, feel disappointed with the direction taken by HINDRAF but nevertheless the hard truth is that they have brought forward national issues involving the Malaysian Indians unlike anyone else, without any precedent.

For those detractors who continue to write on personal character assassination, dumbfounded logic without any tangible evidence, please carry one because most fools can criticize and condemn because there is no fool so great a fool as a purported knowing fool for the aforesaid reasons. Did you know that false knowledge is more dangerous than ignorance?

I think HINDRAF has mastered that with knowledge as wisdom plays a bigger role for the community; opting for the issues that concerns the alienated community. Who else would come forward to acknowledge and address such paramount issues?

Another five (5) years in the doldrums for the Malaysian Indians if BN does not honor it is not going to change anything but at least they took the liberty to come forward and engage them and that is something that needs to be recognized, unlike PR, who had all the opportunity yet squandered it for their own selfish reasons.

I am sure I am going to get our typical heroes and heroines whacking me on this. Sure enough those are your prerogatives, but let me ask you an honest question, are you honest to yourself or do you need to be honest for the community and their issues?

When I say honesty, don’t run me the Goebbels theory for the political divide, what it should be and how it should, but rather something tangible to make a difference for the community in honesty for their well being rather our keyboard based artificial altruism.

It is like what Confucious says, “When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps” I think HINDRAF is on the right path

Think about it.

Thank you
