THE CORRIDORS OF POWER
Raja Petra Kamarudin
Hindraf has laid out 6 conditions for both Pakatan Rakyat as good as Barisan Nasional to determine to prior to it decides which of the dual coalitions it will await in the entrance general election. Five of those 6 conditions were essentially addressed inThe People's Declarationexactly 5 years ago in February 2008.
In fact,The People's Declarationis in even some-more item since it comes to almost twenty pages. The problem is many people did not review it because, according to them,The People's Declarationis as good lengthy.
If reduction than twenty pages is 'too lengthy' afterwards you really do not know what to say. They should be reading during slightest 100 to 150 pages the day or go by the 300-page book in dual or 3 days. Some PhD students here in the UK, Malaysians of course, told me which they hardly review the book the year save for their text books.
That is pathetic. And these are the same people who strike Umno as good as censure Umno for the 'poorly educated' Malaysians. you only don't get it how you can censure Umno for your low-level preparation when you exclude to review the book the year as good as you declare which twenty pages are as good lengthy to read.
Anyway, save for item 2 in Hindraf's list of 6 demands, 5 of these final have essentially been addressed inThe Peo ple's Declaration , as you can see below.
you confess thatThe People's Declarationis not specific to 'Indian issues', as it tries to residence policies to have things some-more equitable, as good as so which the beneficiaries of these policies would be upon the need basement rather than race-based. Nevertheless, if there were any particular racial group which is in need, afterwards it would automatically turn which beneficiary.
For example, if you build houses for the needy, as good as if the Indians are in need of houses, afterwards the Indians turn the customer of those houses since the suggestion ofThe People's Declarationis to do divided with race-based policies in favour of need-based policies.
Many people have asked me what is the source of what they view as my 'falling out' with Anwar Ibrahim in late 2010 as good as because dual months after you proposed 'whacking' Anwar Ibrahim.
Well, if they were to view which video of the assembly in London in 2010 upon Youtube afterwards they need not ask this question. In which assembly you stressed which Pakatan Rakyat had signed an agreement which they will adoptThe People's Declarationand later, in Australia, Anwar did the U-turn as good as rejected it.
Basically, what Hindraf is asking for has already been laid out as good as concluded by Pakatan Rakyat (plus PSM, mind you) 5 years ago in February 2008. AndThe People's Declarationhasmore details. Will Pakatan Rakyat right away contend approbation to Hindraf when it has said no toThe People's Declaration-- after observant approbation earlier?
Anyway, while you await the reply from Pakatan Rakyat, maybe in the meantime you can review what Hindraf wants to what was concluded back in February 2008.
