Malaysian Indians and MIC Election 2013

http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/opinion/2013/11/28/mic-has-to-transform-and-reform/
MIC is used to be sole Indian based party in Malaysia. The early leaders had played a significant role in guarding the interests of Indian community.

But in late 1970s the objective and purpose of this party existence has changed to serve the interests of the newly elected young leaders.

The party swayed away from Indian community and allowed many factions. Many new Indian based parties are formed from party members who are not happy with  the leadership at that time.

After 67 years the party had to transform and reform. 

Whether the current party members, grassroots leaders and leadership will allow such changes which desperately needed to revive the confidence of the community as whole, is a answer that the community is eagerly waiting for the outcome of the 30 November MIC election.

This community had hoped that their leaders at local and national level do their part to uplift the economic status and to overcome social illness where our youth are on top of the crime list. But unfortunately we are not heading to that direction and becoming worse.

This community still has faith on this party not because of the current leadership but the contribution that the party had made pre and post-independence.

The expectations of Indian community on our leaders in MIC are to make community needs as their foremost priority and fulfill the fundamental needs of the community.

The party members and grassroots leaders need to reject and isolate the self-centered leaders who are contesting in the coming party election, so that it allows party to transform and reform to cater the community rather than neglecting the community to satisfy their cronies.

The future of the party will be determined with the outcome the coming party election. It will set the pace for the future direction of the party upholding the interests of the community. Therefore this party election is so crucial. The members and grassroots leaders need to set aside their loyalty and self-interest and choose right yet capable leaders who are community care minded leaders.

Thank you.

Kuala Lumpur.

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 ...
