Subscribe in a reader | Subscribe by Email We are seeing a repeating pattern here. Prof Ramasamy or the state government’s handling of Indians is condemned by the certain Indian groups, and he rebuts. First time was in April, then June, and now in July.
This time, Prof says that the claims of “Penang Indians sidelined” are untrue (refer Malaysiakini). He gives the following reasons:
1. it is unfair to expect drastic improvements to the lot of ethnic Indians less than five months after the March 8 election.
2. Within his own parliamentary constituency of Batu Kawan, Ramasamy said
Indians were appointed to head five village security and development
committees (JKKK).
“This had never happened under the
Barisan Nasional in Penang. In the last (Gerakan-led) state government,
only one Indian had been appointed to head a JKKK.
3. The DAP-led Penang government has also ensured Indian representation in
the state executive council as well as city and municipal councils.
4. awarding of land to two Tamil schools, two Hindu temples and groups of goat and cattle breeders. (Which schools and temples?)
5. A state-level committee was also set up to look into the plight of Tamil schools.
6. youth groups have been established to alleviate the problems faced by the Indian poor.
The reason Prof Ramasamy mentioned the above is because of recent complaints by HINDRAF, Pemaswa, and HAN on the “indifferent attittude of Pakatan Rakyat governments” in the three states of Penang, Perak, and Selangor.
The Prof also ups the ante by saying that the “small disgruntled group” is unhappy because these people failed to secure their own appointment as local councillors and members of a certain state religious body.
“We
can accept criticisms, but not mere attempts to discredit the Pakatan
governments. Why don’t they come and meet the state government
representatives to raise these issues?” he asked.
Prof Ramasamy also rejected calls for a special state Indian council as requested by the group. He repeats that Unlike Barisan Nasional, Pakatan Rakyat is not
merely a coalition of parties that represent exclusively the various
ethnic communities.
“I’m helping the Chinese and Malay communities as well. I’ve given financial aid for suraus
and Chinese temples. If they want state Indian councils, then should we
also set up state Malay councils? What about state Chinese councils?
What about state councils for Orang Asli?“This is not the Pakatan formula. We are a multi-racial coalition and we work for all races,” he stressed.
Well, I’m interested to know, for a start, why the local council cancelled the land for SJKT Azad? Perhaps the good Prof can help to investigate or get his Education Exco to do it.
Let me start with some dirt on the bearded one. It seems that Rama is not entitled to use the title Prof outside university. Since this is not a title bestowed but just a designation unlike the Prof DiRaja. As such he has been deceiving the rakyat by calling himself a professor. This was confirmed by Gerakan folks who made a call to UKM.
This guy has been spin-doctoring for a long time. First of all he has no respect or power/influence in Penang, being an outsider as well as a parachuted DAP member /politician. He hardly speaks and even when he does he merely defending himself.
It is strange that someone who spoke so loudly about Makkal Sakthi and flouted his Tamil street cred (his service in Sri Lanka and publications) suddenly become multi-racial leader. If he believes in multi-racialism, then why he accepted the seat of DCM2 which is reserved for an Indian ? What’s the point of having a DCM2 then if the person is not meant to help Indians as his main focus ? Why did he spoke to much about marginalisation of Indians and never mention about his multi-racial approach during the election ? Why did he invite HINDRAF leaders to speak in his ceramah and sing MGR songs ? Why not Andy Lau and P Ramli songs ?
Rama is not defending the DAP govt but his political future. He knows he has failed and can do nothing much. He also knows that no one respect him so he has to “bodek” LGE to keep in power. He also knows RSN Rayer is hovering like an hawk to grab the DCM2 post.
His claims are false as far as I know. If he had delivered those, I am sure LGE would have had his PR people and cronies in the press (he has his supporters in the STAR and te NST, believe me) to cover it and publish it big time. I am sure that such news would have been prominently covered in the Tamil papers too. But I saw NOTHING or heard nothing either.
Even people of Batu Kawan and Prai are wondering what happened to him as he is hard to get nowadays unlike before the GE.
You can talk to an ordinary Indian in Penang and he/she will tell that Rama has failed Indians and PR has deceived them. I know Killi/VJ will say differently but then they are not ordinary Indians but from a caste know as the Ettapans.
Killer how about you then ?
The whole community stood up for their rights since Nov and where were you ? Hiding behind saree ? So who is ‘ettapan’ ?
Heros left their family , profession and wealth for the sake of Indians and still continue their struggle from Kamunting . Where were you ? Hiding behind saree ? So who is ‘ettapan’ ?
More than five hundred Tamil schools deprived under umno’s rule and only hindraf made noise about it . But moron like you hide that truth and spin story as PR was the one abandon Tamil schools based on just one school . So who is ‘ettapan’ ?
People like VJ said caste based politics wont work here but you said ” from a caste know as the Ettapans ” So what is your motive ? Instigate caste related issues to gain sympathy for you stupid arguments ? So who is ‘ettapan’ ?
All Indians voted opposition not becos they love AI or LGE . Becos they want fresh politics , away from corrupts and racists . But a worthless moron like you spin facts and wanted Indians to support umno(BN) . It seems your are indeed a mandor and leg massager for umno politicians . Bravo !! So who is ‘ettapan’ ?
Anyway i’m not going to waste time explaining to ‘half bake’ like you .
I’m interested to know if any readers would agree with all your points in this blog . Well that will show whether or not indians still could be fall in trap of spin stories and bullshits .
Mr K
May I take it from your post that whatever I claimed about PR and “Prof” Rama as true since you didn’t dsagree….??
i would agree with you Killi .
“… leg massager” …… hahahha good punch one …. ‘nethi adi’ ……
Well , to me it doesnt seem to be a mistake to use ‘prof’ outside . I’ve seen many Uni profs working with NGOs and even with MNCs using ‘prof’ .
to killer the MIC and UMNO supporter,
well, he was not only Prof in UKM, but also in Germany, Kessel university and ISIS Singapore, which usualy will award Proffership for senior retired fellow, So, i advice u to call, dont be such a Indian losser….
Hello BlueMoon aka Ettapan
Are you an office boy or PR boy of Rama ?
Don’t try to spin another yarn and con the Indians again. You could do this to those manggis Indians who are naive and swallow all your tales but not me.
This Deputy Chief Office Boy was just a Visiting Senior Fellow at ISIS and a visiting Professor at the University of Kessel. As far as I know he was never awarded any professorship by either ISIS (which cannot award professorship since it isn’t a university) or the Kessel Uni.
And if you disagree with me, please provide independent evidence (and not another SD to declare it). Of course a copy of the award document will also do.
So next time, you want to debate with me, please get you facts right or “pergi main jauh jauh”.
Prof is an earned title (from UKM) and it’s ok to use elsewhere . If he cant than Dr.M is not Dr anymore either . The rule applies regardless pro or oppo parties . So Killer we all know you are a dedicate umno leg massager so dont have to prove to us again and again .
Even an umno fellow uses prof so be it . It’s earned and not given by political party .
I think the Ettapan title is suitable for you (a great Indian crab) in Malaysian Indian society. As told you before, if you got guts or bxxxs call the Ramasamy and ask him rather then making monkery. Anyway, as usual you-re Indian crab only can talk no action…..trained by MIC and UMNO what a pathetic
Bro
Just reply my question instead of descending into name calling and insults.
FYI Gerakan Penang has called UKM to verify the Deputy Chief Office Boy’s title and they confirmed that they DID NOT award his any professorship. Please feel free to call them yourself.
So, again I ask you. Please provide proof or shut up.
hehehe,
nice to see Indians are the real crap..and hungry for power .No wonder you all such a loosers in Malaysia…
