Really 400 schools closed down since 1979? Wow! Anyway, good luck to Gerakan. They will be going against UMNO if want to fight for Tamil schools. These guys no need to create another committee, just work with exiting ones like HINDRAF, Tamil Foundation, EWRF, Tamil HM Association, MIC (heaven forbid!), the school PTAs etc.
I’m not sure how serious is Gerakan since they are not Indian-friendly party. No “suitable” candidates it seems for recent elections. So, how to have faith in people like Dr Krishnan?
Solution is simple for layman like me. Change the law. How difficult is that? Difficult since one good-for-nothing political party opposes it. All it needs is to get the legal team to draft changes, and vote in parliament. Which right minded parliamentarian won’t vote for converting partially-aided schools to fully-aided ones – (by buying the land or allowing for funds for such schools on par with other schools)? I bet there will be a bunch of them who are against it. They won’t let fellow coalition MPs to support such motion as well, if it was from the opposition.
This Gerakan effort will fail. If successful, MIC can close shop. » Read more: Gerakan forms committee to solve Tamil schools problems
