“The 1,500 scholarships offered by the Public Service Department (PSD) for undergraduate studies overseas will be phased out from the next year says UMNO Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Nazri Abdul Aziz.
This is the very same UMNO Minister who in 2008 had blatantly replied to Chong Eng, MP for Bukit Mertajam in Parliament, that the list of JPA scholarship recipients will not be made public.
This only goes to show UMNO’s blatant racist and supremacist discrimination, especially against Article 8 (Equality before the Law) and Article 12 (no discrimination in Education) of the Federal Constitution.
Prime Minister Najib Razak does an insincere move to come to Little India on Saturday (12/6/10) and that too made “pledges” of RM 15,000 to 50 top students to “tactically” divert attention away from the real issue, ie., granting JPA, MARA, Petronas, PNB, TNB, TMB, Khazanah, Shell, 13 Yayaysan Negeri and scores of other top and high achieving students, especially poor Indian students. Also to divert attention away from the denying places in public Universities and Matriculation places, especially to these poor Indian students. The 200,000 places in University UITM is solely and exclusively for only Malay muslim.
Even overseas muslim students are allowed but not a single fifth and even sixth generation Malaysian born especially poor Indian students are given entry.
And in today’s New Straits Times 14/6/10 at page 6, the Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin screams “DPM: help all, not just a single race” and “The people want Barisan Nasional to fight for all Malaysians and not just the Malays alone. The DPM also talks about “political transformation “to benefit the people” (read almost all malay muslims).
“Cakap tak serupa bikin” or “reciting thevaram but demolishes Sivan temple” are the most appropriate proverbs to describe this UMNO DPM.
The writing on the wall is very clear by the statements and the reverse actions, the latest being these poor high achieving Indian students.
And the supposedly “multi-racial” PKR, DAP and PAS would not bother filing an Emergency Motion, like for Gaza, Aminulrasyid and Teoh Beng Hock. Simply because the victims are the inconsequential Malaysian Indian children. Insufficient political mileage and/or they fear losing the Malay muslim votes by championing these poor Indian students.
Our forward moving plan now is due to no other alternative; we have to create the political clout by creating 15 and 38 Indian majority Parliamentary and State seats, and fighting our own political battle via HRP’s Project 15/38.
End STPM
One Malaysia
One Matriculation
