The eradication of poverty sees no colour in any other part of the world except in UMNO Prime Minister Najib Razak’s One Malay-sia.
In this latest My Tuition innovation to eradicate poverty was launched by UMNO Deputy Prime Minister in August 2007 for the poor (Malays) who cannot afford to pay for their tuition fees. But we are yet to hear of a single Indian who has benefitted from this My Tuition Programme.
This My Tuition programme uses Information Technology, interactive multi-media and Internet for free of charge and open from 10.00am to 10.00pm. The focus of this My Tuition programme is on Mathematics, Science, English and Malay from standard one right up to Form Five.
But these My Tuition centres only serves the Malay Muslim poor in Bukit Antarabangsa, Kampung Kerinchi, etc., – all malay areas, and excludes the poor Indians. Why not also in the poor Indian neighbourhoods of Brickfields, Kg Medan and Sentul for example? Why this level of UMNO’s racism, religious extremism and supremacy, which does not happen in any other part of world?
And the pin drop silence on this form of racism and ethnic exclusion by the Opposition parties, supposedly multi-racial PKR, DAP and PAS! Or no corrective similar affirmative action programmes for all the poor including the poor Indians in the PR ruled states of Selangor,
We had reported last week that 90% of the Tamil school children who enter standard one cannot read or write as they never even went to kindergarden because they could not afford it ie. poverty related. But neither UMNO nor PKR, DAP or PAS cares! Why? The victims are merely Indians.
But neither the multi-racial Champions (only in theory) Anwar Ibrahim, Lim Guan Eng or Hadi Awang would address this tip of the iceberg UMNO’s racist rule as the victims are merely the soft target Indians who have no or very little political power.
Our way forward is the political empowerment strategy, the way forward.
