…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.
Sikh Youth declares support for Abdullah
KUALA LUMPUR: The Sikh Youth Association of Malaysia has declared its full support for Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, saying that the Prime Minister had always been attentive to their needs. President Malkith Singh said the association had met the Prime Minister three times in the past two years, including twice last year over grouses and problems of the Sikhs.
“We are a small community of about 150,000 people, yet the Prime Minister has never turned us down. He personally met us and heard our grouses on matters such as recruitment into the army and police force, intake into public universities and temple problems,” he said.
He said that following the meeting and based on feedback from the Sikh community and temples, the intake of Sikh students (who came under the Indian quota) into public universities and recruitment of Sikhs into the police force had increased.
Malkith Singh said it was also easier now to obtain the permit to bring in priests from abroad, and the validity of the permit had been extended from three to five years.
The association held its annual sports event called the holla mahalla yesterday at the Federal Territory Youth and Sports Complex in Kampung Pandan here which saw 3,000 people participating.
They hung banners with the words Kami menyokong penuh kepimpinan Pak Lah and Hidup Barisan Nasional (We fully support the leadership of Pak Lah. Long live Barisan Nasional).
The man is speaking through his nose.He only speaks as the head of one organisation, he does not represent the whole Sikh community.
We would like him to tell us where he got his statistics?can he show us the new statistics that shows an increase in the Sikh recruitment ?
Sometimes , a little power goes through the head, and one will feel they are at the top of the world.
Utter rubbish- or was it to gain a datukship?
Agree with Gurcharan Singh … but you are wrong to say the man is talking thru his nose … actually it is thru another crevice a bit lower down the body. This Sikh Youth Movement is a crappy organisation with a lot of hanky panky stuff going on. The RoS and MACC ought to inspect their books.
Specifically, ask them what happened to the thousands of ringgit collected over a few years to develop a piece of land in kuala kubu baru?
