KUALA LUMPUR: BARISAN Nasional is the Indian community's
solution. Indians in the country recognise that the BN government has
been executing tangible actions and sound policies to uplift their
community.
MIC vice-president Datuk S.K. Devamany said Indians in the country had over the past few years been closely evaluating programmes implemented by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's administration and concluded that Pakatan Rakyat paled in comparison.
"They see BN's clear direction. Najib understands and recognises the weaknesses and problems of the Indian community, and has been addressing them."
He said while the BN government had been addressing issues like their religious needs, loans for businesses and educational opportunities, the same couldn't be said about the opposition.
"In comparison, what has the opposition done in their respective states? Selangor does not want to provide land for us to build Tamil schools while Penang gives a few thousand ringgit here and there for Tamil schools.
"The BN government, on the other hand, gave RM560 million for the development of Tamil schools in the country."
Indian Athma Sakthi Association president and founder M. Vasantha Kumar said Indians had not only been neglected by Pakatan but its leaders who had voiced out for the community had also been "killed" politically.
"Look what happened to DAP's Professor Dr P. Ramasamy and Parti Keadilan Rakyat's S. Manika- vasagam. Those who champion the Indians are not allowed to grow.
"There is no future for the Indians under the opposition. Even its manifesto does not have anything for the Indians."
Vasantha Kumar said Pakatan's true colours were revealed when they neglected Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf), one of the opposition's driving factors in winning five states in the 2008 general election.
"They have neglected the Indians and Hindraf. We voted for Pakatan because we did not want any more temples to be demolished but in one state alone, six temples and an altar were demolished."
Vasantha Kumar said the Indian community was thankful to Najib for addressing the issue of late birth registration.
"Najib made it happen for so many of them."
He also said Indians were king- makers in 83 parliamentary seats.
"Eighty-three out of 222 seats is a big number. The Indian community should be taken seriously."
In George Town, Penang MIC chairman Datuk G. Rajoo urged the Indian community to throw its support behind Najib and his administration.
Rajoo said Najib's administration had identified and resolved 70 per cent of the problems faced by the Indian community.
"I urge all Indians to support Najib in the 13th General Election so that the remaining problems plaguing the community can be resolved," he said, adding that Indians in Penang had better chances of owning homes if BN was given a fresh mandate.
"It is not easy for Indians to buy houses in Penang as many of them are in the low-income group."
