Poor Indian lady, 7 children earns RM 350.00 p.m., living in shack cannot pay RM 50.00 p.m rental, now homeless (ref Malaysia Nanban 21/11/09 at page 16) Veeni Arjunan (35) from Manjong will any time from now become homeless as she could not even pay her monthly rentals of RM 50.00 per month. The landlord has now told her to move out. Veeni and her seven children will become homeless at any time from now. There are hundreds of thousands of such poor and homeless Indian families in Malaysia but who get almost zero help from the Malaysian government. All this despite UMNO Prime Minister Najib Razak’s RM 220 Million Budget 2010 allocation for welfare senior citizens and the poor. The poverty line index as per this budget is RM 720.00 per month. But all his help does not reach Veeni because she is an Indian poor. She and hundreds of thousands of other Indians are rejected even at the counter levels of the welfare departments. In any event it is the duty of the Malay-sian UMNO Welfare Department to ensure that not even one Indian is homeless and suffering from poverty.
