IPOH, Oct 27 (Bernama) -- The Indian community's support for the Barisan Nasional (BN) government is increasing and they can expect a brigher future, says Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
"The Indian community has been supportive of the BN government since a long time ago as only BN could fulfil their needs and aspirations.
"The support of the Indian community and of other communities for BN is increasing, making the opposition worry, especially when the prime minister tabled the 2012 Budget which has increased the allocations including to Tamil schools," he said in his speech at the state-level 1Malaysia Deepavali Open House at Ipoh's Little India Thursday night.
Muhyiddin said there was no party which could really look after the Indian community's interests except BN.
He said all aspects of the Indian community including business, funds, assistance to temples and Tamil education were given serious attention by the BN government through the cabinet committee.
He also announced an allocation of RM2.5 million for the building of a Tamil school in Gunung Rapat here, and another allocation to beautify the Little India area.
Muhyiddin and the invited guests then joined about 5,000 people to savour the Deepavali spread and were entertained to songs and cultural performances in conjunction with Deepavali.
He and his wife Puan Sri Norainee Abdul Rahman later left for the federal capital from the Sultan Azlan Shah Airport, here.
