Malaysian Indian Progressive Association (MIPAS) would like to respond to Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s confidence of better support from the Indian community for Barisan Nasional (BN) in the 13th general election, said when he officiated the opening of the Perak Indian Chamber of Commerce’s new building in Ipoh recently.
MIPAS would like to know what survey and who conducted the survey that Indian votes nationwide, the majority of them now support BN? It’s not true and it’s a big lie that the majority of the Indian community are now swinging and starting to support BN. MIPAS strongly believe that it’s untrue that the Indian community are giving their full mandate to the Barisan Nasional, but may be so from BN’s component party’s members itself and their family members.
The majority of the Indian community are still unhappy and angry with the Barisan Nasional government due to the lack of BN’s responsibility and fulfilling the promise to solve the Indian community issues on Education, Economic and Social problems. There is still discrimination based on race, there were no quotas assigned to the Indian community for jobs in GLCs or the private sector, employment opportunities in government sector, civil service ranking and promotion.
Less business opportunities for Indians and also the high crime rate among Indians is a direct result of the lack of access to good, high-income jobs for Indians.
The BN government has systematically marginalized vernacular education, bad education policies and merit-based admission education system, almost all these Indian students come from middle and low incoming families and applications to enter Matriculation, Local Universities and JPA scholarship were turned down without any reasons.
Stateless Indians, citizenship issues and high number of unaccounted deaths in police custody. All this and many more issues will not increase Indian votes for Baisan Nasional (BN).
Besides that, the Indian community are not happy with Tun Dr. Mahathir’s remark of the RCI on the grant of citizenship for the Indians and non-Malay rights, Perkasa President Ibrahim Ali’s racist remarks and recently the threat from Ridhuan Tee Abdullah’s insensitive article published in Sinar Harian Daily, page 40 on the 18th February 2013 (Monday) titled “Kesabaran Umat Islam ada had”.
MIPAS strongly believe that the Indians community will not give their full mandate to the Barisan Nasional (BN) for the next coming 13th general election.
