FMT LETTER: From Dr Paraman Subramaniam, via e-mail

Whoever said that Hindraf sold out needs to clarify it with facts! From last Saturday (13/4), Sunday (14/4) and Monday (15/4) PR leaders were teasing us with a so called meeting with Hindraf. Saturday I had to take locum just to be on standby for the alleged meeting that DID NOT take place! (Any volunteers to pay for my locum Dr?).

Sunday Hindu New Year we were on standby, again no calls from PR. Then Sunday evening they said ok Monday confirmed Anwar, Lim Kit Siang and Husam Musa will come. So Mr Ganesan our Hindraf national advisor drove down from Penang and put up in a hotel in PJ for the meeting awaiting for their call.

Waythamorthy was also present and so was I as well as another surgeon drove down from Melaka. Whole Monday morning no call from them. They did not answer my calls/sms either. Then at 3pm I sms’d them ‘since no calls I guess meeting is called off once again?’ Then they call back and say no, meeting is on but Lim Kit Siang not attending!

We decide that it has to include all leaders from PR as from past experiences we have realised this is usually a ploy to delay coming to a decision so we ask them to reschedule the meeting to another time when all three leaders are present.

Waytha then left and Ganesan proceeded to check out from the hotel. Then they call me back and say that Lim Guan Eng personally instructed the meeting to proceed even in the absence of DAP as he has empowered Anwar and Husam Musa to make the decision.

Waytha had already left for another meeting and Ganesan had already checked out! But I managed to get Ganesan back. So we proceeded to PKR HQ and arrived there at around 5.15pm. All these while the contact was pleading with us to come for the meeting as there will be no other time left in view of the impending GE but he told us to ‘take our time’.

On arrival at PKR HQ, Tian Chua was at the entrance. He saw us but looked away. So we waited at the corner coffee shop and contacted the PR rep that we had already arrived. Then he shocks us by informing that Anwar had already left! In fact Anwar sneaked out after we arrived the PKR HQ. That’s how much respect they have for the representation of the marginalised Indians !

If the PR leaders can’t even handle a decent meeting, (bungling and insulting along the way) how on Earth are they going to be entrusted to govern this country?
