112,635 Felda settlers, 67.3% granted land, but 0.1% Indian plantation workers granted Felda opportunities

Why were 99.9% of the pre-existing Indian plantation workers denied these ten acre land ownership schemes? After all they were the ones displaced from agriculture as estates were converted into housing and industrial areas whereas Malays were never displaced at all.
Just because they were the poor Indians?
Even now, despite having been 53 years behind time it is better late than never. An estimated 70% of the Indians in Malaysia are in the poor and hardcore poor category.
Most of them are prepared to work hard and ready to take up these land ownership opportunities in Felda, Felcra, Risda, Fama, Mardi Agropolition and the such land schemes by the 13 state governments including the three P.R. states of Kedah, Penang and Selangor (see The Star 26/3/2010 at page N 16).
Both UMNO/BN and also PKR DAP & PAS/PR won’t bother because the victims are merely the Indians. The Indian political empowernment strategy is the only way forward.
