There’s 10 vacancies, and there are 37 candidates. After a non-transparent selection process, only 8 are selected. Another 2 vacancies are to be filled later. A previous exercise 5 years ago yielded 10 candidates who took up all the 10 vacancies.

SV admits that the community “still had to fight” for their rights, and his probably right that the political situation is not suitable yet. Perhaps in 5 years time, it will be.

Each voter would have his/her own reasons…and not all voters voted for the Malaysia Malaysian. Probably high in the rankings would be support for equal rights, support for HINDRAF, “anything but BN” mentality, hatred against SV/MIC, protest againsts price hikes, support for opposition, ideology, and local issues (ineffective earlier representatives). » Read more: Only MIC can do it says Samy

I’m still confused about this statement:

…the intake of Sikh students (who came under the Indian quota) into public universities and recruitment of Sikhs into the police force had increased.

Does it mean that the Sikh community have been deprived of intake into universities and public sector due to being under Indian quota? Probably I’m reading too much into it. » Read more: Sikhs Youth support PM
