Hindraf views on the coming general election


helen%20ang.jpgReceived a write-up subsequent around e-mail from Hindraf. I'm reproducing it as is. However I'm adding bold emphasis to a little salient points which merit highlighting.

Just a single comment to supplement though:

Hindraf is observant which Pakatan does not even have a inhabitant Indian personality to showcase. Well my friends, that's your tragedy. 'Indian' is a banned word, nonetheless they can replace it with what's to them more acceptable, i.e. "hitam metalik".

And DAP Aduns would prefer to jot down their children'sketurunanto be 'Cina' despite a father carrying an Indian name.

Plus even if Pakatan (i.e. DAP or PKR) did have an ethnic Indian personality of inhabitant stature, he would never determine to your outline of himself being "a inhabitant [level]Indianleader". Rather he'd confess himself be a Malaysian First personality similarly for all Malaysians.

But if a claimant was Malay, identical to DAP Malay Great Hope Sakmongkol, DAP Malay "Opinion Leader" Hata Wahari or DAP Malay Young Talent Zairil Khir Johori, afterwards a DAP man's Malayness is sounded loudly to a clash of Chinese cymbals as good as gongs.

But no such drumroll for a Indian-ness of any candidate. In any case, you folks would already have good well known all this from Mano.

Behold, I managed to compile this print gallery:

WHY NAJIB IS TRYING TO WOO THE INDIAN VOTE?

By Hindraf

It has been rsther than viewable which PM Najib has in new months been seen to be perplexing to woo a Malaysian Indian race with multiform tall form open propinquity exercises! . He has been attending Indian eremite as good as informative festivals, often making celebrity-style entrances in to these functions to stir a Indians.

Joining Hindus during Thaipusam during Batu Caves as good as a inhabitant spin Ponggal jubilee orderly by MIC, PPP, MMSP, IPF as good as Indian NGOs in Klang recently, Najib has been you do his spin many appropriate to win over a Indian voters.

He has been promising to set up Tamil schools, increasing matriculation seats of Indian young kids from 559 to 1,500; regular photos have been looming in local mainstream dailies showing a little elderly Indians obtaining Malaysian citizenship's etc.

As PR leaders appear to be only concentrating upon a Malay as good as Chinese population, as good as increasingly not profitable any attention to a Indian woes,Najib is seen feverishly perplexing to win behind a BN's traditional constant supporters. Why is this so? Does Najib know something which a PR leaders have been undeveloped about?

In a final ubiquitous elections, PR was a main customer of a overwhelming seismic shift of a Indian electorate away from BN. From a 72.4% share of a Indian votes which went to BN in a 2004 ubiquitous elections, which num! ber had shrunk to a measly 8.3% in a 2008 ubiquitous elections. Meaning roughly 88% of a Indians voted for PR (the superfluous being spoilt votes).

Hindraf had been credited for a awakening of a Indians choosing by casting votes mindset to shift their loyalties to a opposition. However, ever given entrance to power, PR has been focusing primarily upon a Malays as good as Chinese race in particular, probably given they form a dual largest ethnic compositions in Malaysia.

The Indians were subtly pushed out of PR's radar of vision.

This materialisation did not bring any good to a Indian village as they had lost a meaningful representation in a Federal supervision in a for! m of MIC as good as worse still they did not lift out a bulletin of a PR either.

Hindraf was conveniently left out of a PR state governments as good as was not consulted even once per Indian issues even nonetheless it has been more than 4 years right away given roughly 100k Hindraf-inspired Malaysian Indians took to a streets to express their grouses.

No disbelief PR has countless Indian member to showcase nonetheless a really fact which hardcore, bread as good as butter issues which a Indian village have been pang from identical to statelessness, Tamil school neglect, land issues concerning squatters, Tamil schools, temples, cremation as good as funeral grounds as good as their poor mercantile gratification were not addressed was proof which PR did not have Indian representation.

At a many PR was dealing with these issues upon a waste basis, utterly identical to what MIC had been you do for umpteen years before. The "hamper/schoolbag giving print shoot" mentality still really many prevails. None of these issues were debated wi! th any g usto in parliament.

Convenient excuses identical to you have been not in Putrajaya yet, Indians have been a minority so do not ask for anything, do not be a racist, if you're not happy with us go behind to MIClahetc were flung during a slightest of preference to subdue a Indian woes as good as demands.

At a new PR inhabitant convention, it became really evident which PR did not even have a inhabitant Indian personality to project. Priority attention was reserved for a Malays as good as Chinese. 'Aminurlrasyid' as good as 'Teoh Beng Hock' were inhabitant issues as compared to 'Kugan'.

It is this opening which Najib is instinctively relocating in to to take value of, only as how Anwar Ibrahim capitalized upon a Indian votes which fell upon his lap with a Hindraf overthrow in a final ubiquitous elections.

The many im! portant question which a single should ask is why is Najib even worried during all to woo a Indian vote if it is in truth so insignificant?

For years now, a inhabitant census has been portraying a progressive decrease of a overall percentage of a Indians in this nation as compared with all a other races.

1911 - 10.23%

1921 - 15.10%

1931 - 15.12%

1947 - 10.81%

1957 - 11.09%

1970 - 9.04%

1980 - 8.39%

19 91 - 7.83%

2000 - 7.68%

2010 - 7.33%

This statistic has been used really ingeniously by politicians to continue to subdue any final from a Indian community.

However upon obtaining a 'Population Distribution as good as Basic Demographic Characteristics 2010' book from a Department of Statistics as good as starting through a numbers, a really interesting observation was made. If a census data of a race based upon age organisation from twenty as good as upon top of (as it would uncover a choosing by casting votes eligibility age of twenty-one as good as upon top of in year 2012) is used, a Indians is seen to contain 7.82% of a sum Malaysians.

If you were to remove a states of Kelantan, Pahang, Perlis, Sabah, Sarawak as good as Trengganu,Indians who have been age twenty-one as good as upon top of would contain 10.71% of a superfluous states. The breakdown of these states have been as follows:

Johor (stratum : Urban) 8.59%

Kedah (stratum: Urban) 10.89%

Negeri Sembilan (whole state) 15.55%

Negeri Sembilan (stratum: Urban) 18.03%

Perak (whole state) 12.69%

Perak (stratum: Urban) 15.07%

Penang (whole state) 10.45%

Penang (stratum: Urban) 11.! 13%

Selangor (whole state) 13.92%

Selangor (stratum: Urban) 14.07%

Kuala Lumpur 10.55%

Total series of Parliamentary seats in these states have been 126.

Total series of Adun seats in these states have been 311.

No disbelief these values do not represent a exact total of those who had registered to vote nonetheless it does however in truth give a reasonable clear overall picture of a potential stroke of a Indian vote. In fact it is during large good well known which Indians contain in in between 10-20% in 63 parliamentary as good as 130 Adun constituencies in Malaysia. Buntong has more than 40%, Kota Raja more than 30%, Kuala Selangor more than 23% etc.

The Indians have been additionally remarkable to be a village which can get easily excitable. This fad during elections fever can resonate throughout a west coast of a peninsula.

In a final ubiquitous elections, thousands of Indians wore immature bandanas, carried PAS flags as good as were upon a streets during elections day fluttering these flags in tall spirits. This in truth gave a really strong moral await to PAS/PR.The entrance ubiquitous elections will see no such arrangement as a Indians feel utterly left out of a PR agenda.

There is additionally a strong Indian stateless Diaspora within Malaysia which a little estimate series up to 450k. They do not tumble in to inhabitant census nonetheless they have tighten relatives which do. Their plight will lift a lot of weight in a outcome of a choosing by casting votes direction of a Indians.

Since autonomy a Malay votes have been shared roughly similarly in in between Umno as good as PAS! give or take a couple of percent. In a final ubiquitous elections a Malay popular vote which went to Umno was 35.5% as good as PAS/PKR 34.8%. That's how tighten it has been.

This time around a big po! rtion of a Chinese votes will be starting to PR however their stroke is starting to be neutralized by a astray tactics which BN will be contracting namely postal votes. There have been rumours which BN will be registering a Rela members as postal voters. There have been additionally countless accusations by a antithesis which foreigners have been being given citizenship in sequence to be registered as electorate to vacate PR areas.

Tainted electoral rolls, disposition Election Commission, astray mainstream media coverage, abuse of supervision machinery, choosing goodies, income politics have been a many complaints by PR of BN. Rest assured, a arriving ubiquitous elections will be a no binds barred as good as a little contend dirtiest ever. Some selected possibilities might even not spin up during all upon nomination day.

Sabah as good as Sarawak possibilities will only follow a victors of peninsular Malaysia.

No disbelief a Malays being a majority, PR cannot means to neglect them, however though, as was seen in a 1999 ubiquitous elections where Anwar's reformasi campaign only strong upon a Malays primarily as good as nonetheless was successful in a polls goes to uncover which no particular race in Malaysia can be afforded to be overlooked.

That positively would include a Indians too. If during all PR fails to do as good as they did in 2008 in a subsequent ubiquitous elections, afterwards in their post mortem analysis thereafter, they will know where they went wrong.
