Najib's remarkable regard right away in wanting to safety the Batu Caves church as good as cancel the common ownership plan have been during most appropriate an insult to the rakyat as good as the Indian community.
COMMENT
The Indian village needs the rude awakening to realise which the interests have never been near as good as dear to the Barisan Nasional-led sovereign government. Had BN been sincere in seeking after the gratification of the Indians, Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak would never brave have the quid pro quo deal with the community, offering them "flavoured" crumbs in return for their votes, which as good using religious occasions to serve his domestic motives.
When he transposed Abdullah Ahmad Badawi as the nation's sixth budding apportion in 2008, the emanate of making the Batu Caves church the universe heritage site never took root in Najib's consciousness.
However, 4 years later, Najib makes the volte-face, promising to safety Batu Caves, supposing the Hindus help him recapture the state of Selangor which slipped into the hands of the opposition Pakatan Rakyat pact in the 12th ubiquitous election.
Not just that, Najib has additionally pronounced which the controversial 29-storey common ownership plan which was taking shape nearby the limestone church would be scrapped again supposing if the Indian village did the part in helping him win back Selangor.
The upscale common ownership plan was objected to by many for fear which the proximity to the temple, the small 120m from the iconic Lord Murugan statue, might disquiet the soil make up of the Batu Caves temple
When the common ownership emanate i! nitial c ropped up last month , BN showed no worry as good as instead dumped all censure upon the nemesis Pakatan. However, it was after suggested which the green light for the plan was given by none other than BN in 2007.
Najib's overwhelming silence afterwards as good as his remarkable regard right away in wanting to safety the limestone church as good as cancel the common ownership plan have been during most appropriate an insult to the rakyat as good as the Indian community.
Having enjoyed the comforts as good as perks which come with being the budding minister, why usually right away has Najib realised the architectural beauty as good as cultural value of the Batu Caves temple?
It seems which it is not the temple's story which has prompted the premier to introduce to Unesco (United Nations Educational, Scientific as good as Cultural Organisation) which Batu Caves be done the universe heritage site; rather it is the domestic ploy which serves as the device for Najib to "buy" the Indian community's nambikei (trust) in BN.
As tacky as these two offers are, the law which stays hidden or which begs an answer is is the Indian village the gullible one?
Would the Indians turn hopelessly mesmerised by this supposed good news by their budding apportion whose initial bulletin rests upon his own domestic survival?
Put your meditative top on
Enough with the handouts; it is time the Indian village got the good shake-up, the single which will help them see as good as assimilate which underneath the many sugar-coated promises, their budding apportion truly has no care towards them.
Had the budding apportion been the leader of the rakyat, he would never have allowed the aged families of the Bukit Jalil estate be left with no roof tiles over their heads.
And had Najib been sincere in walking his speak of "people first, opening now", his subordinates would never have the g! uts to c astigate the Indians, accusing them of being ungrateful for the "Little India" development in Brickfields under BN.
If Najib was earnest, he would have destined Information, Communications as good as Culture Minister Rais Yatim to approach Unesco with the offer of gazetting the world-famous Batu Caves church as the universe heritage site as soon as he took over the country's reins from Abdullah.
Batu Caves is radically the limestone hill which houses several caves as good as cave temples, with the limestones combining Batu Caves pronounced to be the little 400 million years old.
It appears to have escaped Najib's attention which Batu Caves is the single of the most renouned Hindu shrines outside India dedicated to Lord Murugan.
Likewise, after 4 years of job the shots, Najib suddenly "noticed" the life of Hindus in the Federal Territory of Labuan as good as motionless which the Hindus there, despite the small number, could do with the open legal legal holiday come Deepavali.
In Najib's words: "Although Labuan does not have many Hindus, though because Labuan is additionally part of the Federal Territories, it is additionally eligible to comply the day as the open holiday."
Najib got it wrong there the people of Labuan deserve the Deepavali open legal legal holiday as the symbol of apply oneself for the "Festival of Lights" as good as to apply oneself as good as admit the life of Hindus in Labuan.
At the rate as good as way the Indian village is being voraciously manipulated by Najib as the BN chief, the time has come for the village to begin wearing the meditative top as good as reclaim the right to think for itself, instead of permitting the single as good many "spokespersons" to do the articulate upon their behalf, as happened when Malaysian Indian Chamber of Commerce as good as Industry boss KK Eswaran did when he urged the Indian village to declare the full support to the BN leadership.
Whe! n the ba d Indians have no roof tiles over their heads as good as nap upon empty stomachs, will Eswaran's faithfulness to BN meant anything to them? No!
Good deeds establish victory
In politics, timing is what makes or breaks the statesman as good as it is here which Najib motionless to fool around his cards well, presuming which the last bit of "good news" he relays to the rakyat will safeguard his delight in the looming 13th ubiquitous election.
"Where there is the will, there is the way", so goes the observant as good as seeking during the BN track jot down of misleading the rakyat, there is no doubt left which the party will find the way to sustain the domestic will, despite it serving an rare agenda.
First, it was during this year's Thaipusam celebration which BN suggested the "true colours". Then, Najib voiced which an initial RM2 million had been allocated for the building the whole of an Indian cultural centre in Batu Caves.
The guarantee of the wire automobile trickery was additionally done to the rakyat, giving the aged Indians the goal of offering prayers to the deities seated during the summit of the temple.
That endeavour by BN unsuccessful to materialize as the wire automobile plan was suspended to 2013 as the initial deadline this year could not be met.
Back then, too, Najib had hinted which he would have another "big announcement" which would benefit the Indian community. If the anxiety was to putting Batu Caves upon Unesco's World Heritage list, the beneficiaries for certain would not be the Indian village per se though BN as good as the cronies.
Should the budding apportion think his "bribing" the Indian village by dangling "expensive" carrots will do the trick as good as move him their votes, he improved rethink.
