By P. Waytha Moorthy
(Press statement)
It is more than a week now since Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin and Defence Minister Hishamuddin Hussein criticized me for not being a team player and claimed the Government has done a lot for the community.
Hindraf maintain its claim that the Indians in Malaysia have been marginalised from the mainstream development of the country.
I now call upon Khairy and Hishamuddin to join forces with his “team players” the MIC and come up with a full report of what the government has done for the Indian community over the last 20 years (at least).
Both Khairy and Hishamuddin are most welcomed to go around with their team players to the 10% Indian voters in Kajang and present their case of helping the community as a team. Let the Kajang people decide whether they believe BN’s achievements or not. This exercise, if both the Ministers dare do, would give them a yardstick to gauge what they and their team players have done for the society.
We in Hindraf have been saying this from way back in 2005, that the community has been neglected and that we are not championing a political cause but rather a chronic socioeconomic crisis facing us that needs a concentrated effort from the top leaders of the country. They have to accept realities that as the country’s leaders they have failed us and the respective ministries e.g. National Registration Department, Agriculture, Housing, Human Resources, Welfare and Education have sidelined the Indians. Research papers from academics have also confirmed this fact. Therefore there is no need to live in denial.
RM1,115 billion have been spent in the last 10 Malaysian Development Plans for the development of the nation. There has not been any significant allocation for the development of the Indian poor over the 48 years of the 10 plans. All the so called allocation that had come by in the last 5 years in piecemeal manner manned by the existing political parties without much accountability, transparency or a monitoring process except for rhetoric whenever the election comes by.
The whole purpose of the Hindraf MoU with BN was to ensure that a special unit is dedicated to ensure that a fair amount of funds are allocated on a targeted basis for the upliftment of the Indian poor to resolve their issues permanently.
This was not an exclusive treatment but rather to correct and rectify the previous lapses by the government by its lopsided governance and policies that has digressed this community from the mainstream development to a state of hopelessness and despair within their own nation.
The politicians of the day to maintain their status quo can try to enslave the community by throwing their rhetoric, but the grassroots people on the ground are fully equipped with the facts and the reality on the dire strait situation of this community that continues to be neglected with impunity.

SEKTOR ICT yang memPERLIHATkan RAMAI WARGANEGARA India beKERJA di SEKTOR ICT TEMPATAN sebagai EXPATRIAT di GLC-GLC..
apa komen?
Kenapa orang India India boleh belajar tinggi-tinggi (bidang ICT) tetapi orang India Malaysia tercicir daripada bangku sekolah dan seterusnya terjebak dalam kancah gangsterisme?
Todi?
You are being elitist.
Umno VIPs are known to drink good whiskey. You all never say anything.
Umno VIP drink good whiskey of high and popular brand and drunk in smart outfit. But the todis? Look Helen I’m not being elitist. Why waste money on todi when it can be used to improve the living condition?
There ‘r many good hardworking and smart Indians even more helpful to others compared to Malays and Chinese who live a decent successful life. BN government have done so much to the Indians and others in the past and those who took the opportunity be Indians are successful now and those who did not there still time to change. Allocate billions and if they themselves do not want to change it will remained the same. Education come first.
re: “BN government have done so much to the Indians and others in the past”
Errr, what? Please provide a shortlist.
Waytha issued the challenge to Dapster Khairy to show what BN has done for the Indians in the past 20 years.
Here we go again.
Helen BN had done zilch for the Indians meh?
You have all the space here to tell us what BN has done for the Indians. Dipersilakan.
I’m not privy la Helen, I tak pernah kerja Gomen. Tak minat, dulu2 anti Gomen sampai kerja pun tak mau. Bodoh kan? Dulu la. Sekarang cerdik la sikit, kut…
I hope Kamal and friends will come in a have their penerangan. They should. Perhaps then, Waytha boleh join in the fun?!
BN provide aids to Sekolah Tamil when there is 2 pupil. Don’t bullshit that BN did not do anything to Indians community. What the rich Indians billions and million airs do the help improve the Indians? Generally what have those Billon airs do to eliminate poverty regardless of races? Buy millions dollar plane, yatch when it can be return to help the poor?
re: “BN provide aids to Sekolah Tamil when there is 2 pupil.”
Which school?
re: “What the rich Indians billions and million airs do the help improve the Indians?”
Don’t think Tony Fernandes is “Indian”, actually. And he’s helping The Malaysian Insider, Malaysiakini and The J-Star with his AirAsia ads. So he is helping his people — the Christians.
Dalam hal ini saya menyokong penuh kenyataan P. Waytha Moorthy mengenai KJ terutamanya. Apa sumbangan KJ sejak menjadi KP UMNO dan seterusnya menteri cabinet. KJ perlu ‘list out’ apa yang telah disumbangkan, kalaupun tidak kepada negara tetapi kepada partinya sendiri, UMNO amnya dan Pemuda UMNO khususnya!
Pada saya ‘kebijaksanaan’ KJ hanya dari aspek pandai cakap berdegar degar, tapi ‘taik’ jatuh di gelegar!. Imbas kembali jalan kenangan perjalanan KJ sejak mencebur diri dalam politik hingga kedudukannya sekarang ini. Semua diperolehi dengan senang tanpa berhempas pulas untuk mendapatkannya.
Menang jawatan KP UMNO penuh dengan kontraversi. Kemenangannya disambut dengan sorakan, rasuah, rasuah dan rasuah. Belum pernah terjadi dalam sejarah kewujudan UMNO!
Sebelum itu pun dia telah pun didapati bersalah dalam aspek rasuah oleh AJK Disiplin parti. Dia terlepas begitu sahaja kerana ‘bijaksananya’ dalam memilih Pak Mertua, Presiden UMNO dan PM Malaysia.
Pada saya ini titik awal ‘kematian’ UMNO kalau tidak diperbetulkan dari sekarang. Pemimpin dipilih bukan kerana intergriti dan kebijaksaan tetapi kerana ‘kebaculan’ ahli ahli UMNO tidak memperjuangkan yang hak dan membuang kebatilan.
Kalau dari kelerai lagi tidak diasaskan dan dianyam dengan baik mana mungkin kita dapat menghasilkan anyaman tikar yang cantik!
Sekarang ini kita banyak mendengar kata kata gah KJ baik tentang isu isu semasa seperti kes FAM atau isu politik seperti kes P. Waytha Moorthy. Kalau didengarkan cakapnya seolah olah dia lah yang ‘brilliant’ sedangkan diri sendiri apa sumbangannya yang significant?.
Mukhriz Mahathir yang naik ‘sezaman’ dengannya telah berusaha sejak mula untuk memajukan Kedah dengan pelbagai usaha untuk menarik pelabur ke Kedah. Dia juga cuba memajukan Kedah dalam bidang pelancongan. Dia tidak malu berkunjung ke Melaka untuk mempelajari cara caranya. Sama ada usaha usahanya berjaya atau sebaliknya, pujian patut diberi kerana mencuba dan berusaha.
Tentang masalah kaum India, MIC lah yang patut memperjuangkannya! Begitu juga dengan P. Waytha Moorthy. Baru 10 bulan sudah merajuk bila merasakan kehendaknya belum dipenuhi. Orang yang berperangai seperti budak budak, kejap, kejap merajuk juga tidak sesuai jadi pemimpin dan pejuang bangsanya.
Pemimpin dan pejuang yang sejati mesti ada kekentalan semangat perjuangan dan tidak mudah menyerah kalah.!
Watch their body language ,)
I mean riak wajah
Because they are not gays.
hahaha
Don’t think KJ and Mukhriz like each other lah, strictly speaking about their political rivalry.
KJ nak nampak ‘pandai’ nak ‘mengajar’ Mukriz Tun M. Tapi Mukhriz dah ‘kenal’ KJ way before Helen screams KJ Dapster!
As for me, KJ punya kepura-puraan terserlah masa dia ‘rempuh’ nak hantar memorandum kat Condolezza Rice. Nampak sangat Tak Ikhlas. Anak PM kut (masa tu) buatlah nak rempuh-rempuh polis bagai?!
Kesian kat Polis kena main dengan anak PM. Nak tangkap tak boleh. Nak pukul tak boleh. Nak tahan sangat pun nanti kata berkasar pulak dengan anak PM, nanti kena transfer atau worst, buang kerja! So terima ajalah lakonan si Kitol!
Helen,
pada saya takde bezanya waytha dan kj.
dua-dua berada atau setidaknya pernah (bagi waytha) dalam kerajaan tetapi takde apa sumbangan yang boleh dibanggakan.
setidaknya perjuangan waytha masih untuk kaum india yang terpinggir tetapi perjuangan kj….entahlah!
Bezanya ialah KJ diberi bajet RM754 juta dan dia menggaji Regina Scissorati Lee dan Ibdil #lifestyle di samping kakitangan lain Kementeriannya.
Waytha tidak diberi apa-apa bajet – eeelek — dan kakitangannya yang dilantik sendiri hanya dua orang.
TAMBAH KATA:
Kakitangan untuk ‘Unit Khas’ yang sepatutnya ditubuh di bawah syarat-syarat MoU juga tak ada (eeelek).
Helen, you kena cakap, eeelek pocik, baru kena!
Betul tak Waytha?
You’re quite good in Tamil, eh?
In late 2011 till late 2012-I listened to conversation after conversation in Tamil from early in the morning till early in the night. I was made to listen to Tamil Songs, some very old songs. Some Tamil Nasyeed too. And as I love movies, I have watched loads of Kollywood fares on my own accord with Eng Subs, of course!
I can’t say how good I’m in Tamil. I can’t speak them. I listen and I surely can understand some. And sometimes responded to some. Still does. That’s why A Tamil from India from a kedai makan I had my makan pagi asks around whether I Melayu or Mamak?
I wish I had more time to learn and practise writing. What I really want is free time!
‘ What I really want is free time!’
Haha. Didn’t we all Helen?
So, Waytha will spend his remainder of his un-life blaming others for his failure in the govt.
Am getting pretty sick of this pariah.
It is BN that is the failure, not Waytha.
Waytha didn’t create the Indian problems nor the Indian poor conditions of living. He was trying to provide a solution.
With his departure, the problems remain.
Come GE14, 95 percent of the Chinese and 90 percent of the Indians will be voting anti BN. Najib’s administration has failed to resolve the longstanding Indian problems as well as temper the attitude of people who call Indians “pariah”.
When BN is kicked out of Putrajaya, then it is clear who the failure is.
Helen, some Indians (tanya the I’am not Indian actually) also called other Indians, pariah. Melayu pun ada panggil other Melayus, paria, kalau dah marah sangat, just like some Cinas called other Cinas (besides the Melayus) babe!
‘Pariah’ is the ‘nigger’ word. Please respect the sensitivities of the group at the receiving end of the labelling. Just like any race does not like to be targetted, don’t do unto others what you would not like others to do unto you. This is basic civilized behaviour.
Helen, don’t shoot the messenger
Siapa makan cili dia rasa pedas.
Haha saya setuju, tapi kalau tak ada angin masakan pokok boleh bergoyang?
P. Waytha Moorthy or P. What Tyre Motor?
My 2 cents comments. What tyre only talks hoping for the billions from the British government that one time Indians was hoping for with what tyre putar belit and they believed in him.
As outlandish as the ploy appeared at that time (late 2007), it nonetheless got Hindraf and the plight of poor Indians here some international attention.
In a previous posting, I already explained that Hindraf had sent memos and petitions to Putrajaya but to no avail.
Those high up at the pinnacle of power have no interest in listening to the complaints of the powerless unless those at the bottom of the pyramid make themselves heard through street demos or attention-grabbing stunts.
e.g. My blog was being jammed but I had to suffer in silence (okay, I grumbled a bit but my grumblings fell on deaf ears). It was only when someone prominent like Datuk Kadir started complaining that the cluster cyber attacks against our blogs began to ease off.
‘As outlandish as the ploy appeared at that time..’
Come on Helen, you can do better than that. Outlandish is safe but not very Kosher Helen!
‘Those high up at the pinnacle of power have no interest in listening to the complaints of the powerless…’
BN had MIC to helps the Indians poor. Some poor Indians are not being help is similar to some poor Malays not being help by UMNO.
Helen, lets say, I want to ask for a help from you. Would you prefer me to ask nicely ke, would you prefer me to calling your names and force you to help me, MY WAY, nothing but MY WAY or the highway?
Seriously Helen?
re: “BN had MIC to helps the Indians poor. Some poor Indians are not being help is similar to some poor Malays not being help by UMNO.”
Has Umno been successful with its NEP? I would say yes. The fact that you’re educated is credit to the policies that Umno successfully pushed and maintained.
Has MIC been successful in helping the Indians? The answer is an emphatic ‘No’. Saham Telekom pun pemimpin diorang nak kebas (Maika scandal).
re: “Helen, lets say, I want to ask for a help from you. Would you prefer me to ask nicely ke, would you prefer me to calling your names and force you to help me, MY WAY, nothing but MY WAY or the highway?”
I get your point but that’s because I’m not Indian. I’m not taunted “pariah” or “kulit hitam macam bontot kuali”. I don’t get accused of being a toddy drunkard and so far, nobody has said that they’d rather pukul me first over a snake.
But even as an observer (writing the Waytha series), I can feel how the other races are ganging up and bullying the poor Indians.
Hindraf did ask ‘nicely’. They sent “thousands of pages of memos and petitions” (this is the evidence Uthaya’s lawyer submitted to the Sessions Court during his sedition trial and compiled in 7 volumes of exhibits) to Putrajaya but were ignored. It was only when they took to the streets that they got noticed.
Helen,
Another sad story of the poor Indians. I believe you would have read it.
http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/putrajaya-turns-15-but-ex-estate-workers-now-live-in-tents-waiting-for-prom
They are the Taman Permata cracked flats residents in Dengkil.
TMI is so opportunistic in slapping that huge photo of Waytha Moorthy on their article.
Has MIC been successful in helping the Indians? The answer is an emphatic ‘No’. Saham Telekom pun pemimpin diorang nak kebas (Maika scandal
Then blame Samy Vellu who then says the famous word ‘Act of God’
He was blamed. That’s why BN lost the Indian votes in 2008 as badly as it lost the Chinese votes in 2013.
Can you at least see why the Malays are so angered when the Malay Gomen in turn are being blamed and accused genocide lagi?!
Can you see how berniat jahat this crooks will do, simply to get attention? World attention at the expense of your other fellow Malaysians?
The same are being done by some Christian Extremists now, in this country, by the likes of Pakiam and Andrew.
For saying “ethnic cleansing”, Uthaya spent 1-and-half years in Kamunting under ISA and is now serving a 2-and-1/2-year sentence in Kajang prison. That’s a total of 4 years punishment for saying that the gomen “ethnic cleansed” the Indians.
Tapi hari-hari ada Melayu yang mengherdik “keling”, “pariah”, “ular”, “mabuk todi”. Bukan setakat perbuatan membuli ini tidak disekat atau dikenakan hukuman oleh pihak berkuasa malah ia tidak ditegur pun.
Mind you, he wrote the word within quotation marks as well as explained in a Malaysiakini interview prior to his ISA arrest that he did not mean the word in the Bosnia or Rwanda sense.
(I’m careful to the extent that when I say the Dapsters want to ‘kill’ Najib or want him ‘dead’, not only do I use the quotation marks but I also clarify in the same sentence that I mean political death. We’re in a situation where people are so polarized that they will deliberately impute the worst rather than give any benefit of doubt or accord the most reasonable interpretation.)
‘Tapi hari-hari ada Melayu yang mengherdik “keling”, “pariah”, “ular”, “mabuk todi”.’
And the Malays are being spared from this? Malays have their fair share of derogatory remarks thrown at them by equally racist thinking non Malays.
‘Bukan setakat perbuatan membuli ini tidak disekat atau dikenakan hukuman oleh pihak berkuasa malah ia tidak ditegur pun’
Mana Melissa Gooi sekarang? The same can be said about the non Malays when they commit doshas on the Malays. The Malay Gomen are a bunch of Paling Tidak Apa bunch! Haven’t you and the rest get it?
ethnic cleansing in Malaysia as claim by Utahaya poorah the biggest lie. How many Indians lawyers. business man, Directors, IT programmers and aint Karpal Singh Indian? and he claim of ethnic cleansing.
Tapi hari hariyri ada Melayu yang mengherdik “keling”, “pariah”, “ular”, “mabuk todi”.? Where you stay Helen? You think Malay got nothing to do other than hariharit herdiking. Please lah Helen, don’t go overboard if you really loved what Utaya and Wathaya freedom fighter for Malaysian Indians doing.
re: “hari-hari herdiking”
Everywhere in Malay blogosphere and cyberspace (online forum) lah, kedengaran.
elok lah tak de dlm kerajaan, dulu lantang sgt , biadap masa dlm hindraf
