MIC on transformation – New Era, New Dimension


Prime Minster Najib Tun Razak has done a remarkable job by uplifting the hope of the Indian community in Malaysia. He had resolved many issues related to Indian community successfully, for an example, the MAIKA fiasco.

Further by giving two ministerial positions in the new cabinet and creating various Indian related departments within government to resolve various problems face by this community is another remarkable achievement of our PM.

Then there is a big question which needs an urgent answer. What are the directions and measures that Malaysian Indian Congress [MIC] supposed embarked on to materialize the efforts of our PM?

Malaysian Indian Congress in crossroads now.  A great opportunity is given to them to reinvent themselves to cater the needs of Indian community in Malaysia. Before this, MIC used to be the champion of Indians causes in Malaysia. That was eroded significantly in past years.

The current leadership needs to be reenergized and invented them to suit the current needs of this community.

In my opinion the current leadership is not suited for this need. The change of leadership is vital for the continuous support of this community to the BN led government.

Datuk Seri Dr Subramaniam was elevated as the Health Minister in the new cabinet. That’s a great recognition and the trust that our PM had on him. It is a promotion given by the PM for the efforts that he have done as the Minster of Human Resources. This is so significant. This community needs a leader who has the good working relationship with the top brass of our government to make sure that the waves of the society is always transmitted to our PM.

It’s time for Datuk Dr  Subramaniam to step out from the shadow to take lead role to uplift the community further in this beloved nation.

If he does, then he has the backing of the Indian community, grassroots MIC supporters and even the immediate past president of MIC Datuk Seri S Samy Vellu who had indicated publicly that he is unhappy and unpleased with the way MIC been managed recently especially the approaches of the current leadership.

With general Indian supports swing towards BN led government, the timing of change of leadership in MIC is so crucial for its survival. Therefore the Central Working Committee of MIC which is the decision making body within the party must courageous enough to listen and impose the aspiration of the grassroots supports view that the change is necessary.

Even though the party’s election is not held in near future the rise of new leadership within MIC is so decisive for its own endurance or otherwise the government will finds alternatives that are knocking the door to eliminate MIC from its position in government in imminent.

India-Malaysia ties and the future

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim is on his first official visit to India. The main aim of this visit is to seek support for Malaysia’s application to join Brics and to fortify bilateral ties, as the country is keen to improve its connections with one of the rapidly expanding economies in Asia. In light of the increasing crumbling of the global order, particularly stemming from trade disputes between the United States and China, as well as the proxy conflict involving the United States and Russia, Malaysia is encouraged to reassess its foreign policy to uphold its neutral stance. Given India’s status as the largest democracy and the fifth-largest economy globally, along with its notable advancements in indigenous space and defence technologies, it is proposed that India emerge as Malaysia’s key partner in the years ahead. Why India is important for Malaysia The historical ties between India and Malaysia extend back several centuries, with significant Indian cultural, religious, and administ...

THE HISTORY OF TERRORISM: MORE THAN 200 YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT

The history of terrorism dates back at least 1500 years when Jewish resistance groups (66 - 72 A.D.) known as Zealots killed Roman soldiers and destroyed Roman property. The term assassin comes from a Shi'ite Muslim sect (Nizari Isma'ilis - also known as hashashins "hashish-eaters") fighting Sunni Muslims (1090 - 1275) and during Medieval Christendom resisting occupation during the Crusades (1095-1291). The hashashins were known to spread terror in the form of murder, including women and children. The brotherhood of Assassins committed terror so as to gain paradise and seventy-two virgins if killed and to receive unlimited hashish while on earth. The modern development of terrorism began during the French Revolution's Reign of Terror (1793 - 1794). During this period the term terrorism was first coined. Through the past two hundred years, terrorism has been used to achieve political ends and has developed as a tool for liberation, oppression, and i...

The by-election in Kuala Kubu Baharu (KKB) and the Indian electorate

  I was born in Malaysia, belonging to the Indian ethnic group, which constitutes approximately 7% of the country's total population. My durable credence is that I am Malaysian first and foremost, and only then do I identify myself as Indian. Regrettably, it saddens me to witness and hear about the actions of certain politicians who question my loyalty to Malaysia. What is even more disheartening is that some Malaysians have been influenced by the manipulative rhetoric of these self-serving politicians. Recently, I have observed numerous discussions on both mainstream and online news platforms regarding the recognition and inclusion of Indians by ruling parties. Surprisingly, even the opposition has displayed a significant interest in the welfare of Indians. Upon contemplating the reasons behind this sudden surge in attention towards Indians, it becomes evident that it is primarily driven by the upcoming Kuala Kubu Baharu (KKB) by-election. It is noteworthy that such ...
