In less than 24 hours we going to
elect a new government to rule us in next five years. This election is regarded
as a titan of all election. The race is too close between ruling parties and
opposition parties.
This is a do or die situation.
This election is very different from
the last two elections. The sentiments among people to change for new
government is very observable and since last Friday many KL folks had returned
to their hometown to cast their vote.
The significant different of this
election is not about the personality of the candidates but rather resolving
the basic problems which crippled the ordinary people.
The keys issues for this election
are the rising of the cost of living and drop in the quality of life. These two
issues will determine the outcome of this election.
While I was driving from my
office yesterday, I tuned to a Tamil radio channel and happened to listen to some
Indians leaders from MIC on election issues.
I was utterly disgusted with
their remarks and comments.
This is a crucial period of time to
convince the Indians voters why they should be elected to represent the
Malaysian Indians in the Parliament and government.
Regrettably, they still tangled
with the old issues and have no clear visualization on how they are going to
guide this Indian community in future. The attacked the opposition leaders and
parties without proper substance.
As a Malaysian Indian, I wanted
to know what is the future directions and policies of these MIC’s leaders for
the betterment of the next generation of this community in Malaysia.
I am not interested to listen
your self-promoting remarks with loose cannon arguments because my children are
growing in this beloved nation and as a father, it is my responsibility to make
sure they have a good and prosperous life in this country in future.
As a sole representative of this
community in the government, whether these MIC leaders have executed their
duties and responsibilities well or not?
Again, the answer is a big NO.
Then, what these MIC leaders who
are holding important portfolios in the government representing this community
without resolving their problems which are pre-existed since independence.
If these leaders cannot have
resolved the problems and they should step down. This will allow the other
capable and learned people to lead this community.
Unfortunately, that’s seldom
happened with MIC leaders because they are ignorance. The general perception is
they don’t have a clear mission and vision to lead this community.
The selection of candidates for
this election from MIC is deeply misguided. Dr Subramaniam as the leader of MIC
blunder a great opportunity to redeem the glorious days of MIC before 1970s.
The uncharacteristic and tainted candidates
indicated that MIC leaders will not reformed and transformed for the betterment
of this community in Malaysia.
Whether these MIC leaders are fit
enough to lead the next generation of Indian in this country?
Disappointingly, the answer is a
big NO.
This because I am very much doubt
on their sincerity, capability and commitment to elevate this community in
Malaysia.
For more than 60 years the Indian
community blindly trusted these leaders from MIC. MIC always proclaimed itself
as the single representative of Indian community in Malaysia. Deplorably, these
leaders miserably performed their utmost obligations to improve this community
since 1970s.
These leaders’ biggest contribution
is further divided Malaysian Indian who are less than 10% of the total
population. Many Indian languages based societies were established and within
Tamil community, caste based associations were formed.
In addition, the iron fist ruling
of these leaders’ in MIC during the said period encouraged the formation of the
splinter parties which were established by the former leaders of MIC who are
not satisfied with the leadership at the time.
Unfortunately, these MIC leaders
blamed the ex-Prime Minister for all the problems encountered now by this
community. But they failed to understand that the main culprits were the MIC
leaders themselves.
Therefore, the existence and role
of MIC to represent and fight for the improvement of next generation of Malaysian
Indians in country is near zero.
The choice and quality of the MIC
candidates for this election is appalling. These candidates are arrogant in their
approaches and begging the voters to gain sympathy to win this election.
My last question to these MIC
leaders, where is your dignity?
For a man, dignity is a paramount
value.
No man will exchange dignity for whatsoever
reasons.
Money, position and title are
irrelevant and that cannot be equal with the dignity.
To my fellow Malaysian Indians,
your vote for this election actually will determine the future of your children
in this country.
Choose the talented leaders who
can lead this community.
Identify and support the leaders
who are care for our children.
In a nutshell, we are going to be
in a new phase of life after this election. The future is much brighter for our
children if we have executed our duties well by electing the leaders who are
accountable for this community.
Kuala Lumpur.
