The english speaking Indian elites will champion and speak up for orang asli and everybody else except Indian poor.
This is one of the many times The Sun has published news on an Indian, Dr. Selvaa Vathany who was “sacked” for standing up and putting her foot down over the Orang Asli welfare issue, the allegations of mismanagement and providing poor healthcare for the Orang Asli. (The sun 8/6/10 at page 5).
Similarly we have had the top Indian lawyer Cyrus Das and a group of Indian lawyers championing the Temuan Orang Asli for their land rights up to the Federal Court.
The country’s top and a great number of journalists are Indians, who very ‘liberally” write on injustices, for Teoh Beng Hock, Aminulrasyid, Penans, Kadazans, Ibans, Orang Asli etc.
The country’s top and majority of the NGO leaders are bleeding heart Indians who would liberally champion injustices concerning environment, consumer rights, animal rights, water wastage, global warming, etc.
Malaysia has 11 Indian members of parliament, some being the most senior and most experienced including Karpal Singh, M. Kulasegaran and Sivarsa Rasiah.
But they would not speak up on the critical Indian issues, the tip of the iceberg of which are:-
- For the Indian students scoring from 5As’ up to 13As’ SPM top students but denied JPA Scholarships, Matriculation and University places and scholarships in Petronas, Shell, Mara, Khazanah, Tenaga, Telekom, 13 state Yayasan and scores of others scholarships.
- For Indian poor end up eating sand because of poverty.
- For Hindu temples relocated next to sewerage ponds in Kg. Lindungan and scores of other places.
- Police shooting dead and murdering two Indian brothers even though there being at least three eye witnesses and scores of other such cases.
- Against scores of allocated Tamil school land completely missing from the land office records.
- Against the world’s only shophouse primary school ie the Lukut, world’s only basement school, ie the Assad Tamil school in Penang, world’s only shipping container school, ie in Ladang Jeram, world’s only primary school in a public utilities (JKR) store, ie the Tepi Sungai Tamil School in Kuantan.
Why?
Why does the Indian elite not speak up on Indian issues?
Why are these otherwise bleeding hearts not speaking up against injustices imposed on their own community by their own colleagues?
Indian elite minority complex syndrome?
Conscious of being branded an Indian communalist?
Who then will speak up for the Indian poor?
UMNO? BN? MIC? PKR? DAP? PAS? Bloggers? Indian Journalists?
