With GE16 looming, we have less than a year to determine the future of our political rights and the kind of legacy we want to leave for our children and grandchildren.
Our community is dwindling year by year, and with that, our political influence is shrinking.
The leadership of MIC, PKR, and DAP — which have dominated the political scene for decades — has failed the Indian people. MIC had 68 years to bring change, yet our community still stands on the sidelines.
Meanwhile, the Indian leadership in PKR and DAP remain subservient to Malay and Chinese interests, doing little to address the core issues that affect us.
The failure to jointly push the Unity Government for a comprehensive plan in the recent RMK-13 by MIC, PKR and DAP is clear proof of a failed Indian leadership duped by multi racial politics by Anwar Ibrahim.
On one side, BN played us for fools for 68 years using MIC as their puppet. We trusted PH, and they too made their leaders nothing more than puppets.
On the other hand, PAS and Bersatu are presenting a new brand of puppets as their Indian associate members, who are mostly uneducated and have no notable record of community service, as alternatives.
So, who should we blame for being taken for a ride?
Malay and Chinese politicians have long regarded Indians as immature and easily manipulated. This is why they continue to deceive us with promoting weak Indian leadership, empty promises and token gestures—such as handing out hampers, donating to NGOs, and funding Hindu temples, all while never addressing our real needs.
We need a comprehensive political solution. For this you have no choice but to give us from Hindraf and MAP a chance in GE 16. You have tried trusting others with no result. My team and I have proven records.
The time has come for us to take back control. We must place our trust in leaders who stand by principles and have a proven track record of fighting for the rights and dignity of the Indian community.
Hindraf and MAP have consistently championed our cause, and they’ve always stood firm for what is just and right.
It’s time for us to wake up from our complacency. Relying on leadership that offers mere handouts, allocations, or NGO grants as solutions is not enough. These are only temporary fixes, meant to short change us. What we need is real, systemic change. Government initiatives that address our community’s long-term needs are severely lacking, and it is time we demand more.
Let’s stand together for a future where our voices are heard, where our rights are respected, and where our community can truly thrive.
