The veterans (collectively) mentioned that government should pay more attention to the displaced Indians (from closed estates and urban squatters), its time for MIC to select younger candidates for election (hint for the oldest leader?), Indians are not totally marginalised, the opportunities for vocational and technical studies should be taken up, and that there are more professionals now. Also highlighted were the issues of stateless Indians. » Read more: veterans support new blood

Totally ignoring Samy Vellu’s warning to other BN components to keep their hands off the Indian community, Gerakan today launched a task force specifically to help the Indian community.

I think this is related to the SMSes flying around among the Indian community (I received it about 5 times). The article in the Star did not mention any details, but the SMS said its SM Anderson, Ipoh and the teacher’s name is Kamaruzaman. In order to avoid blowing up the issue, the news also did not mention that he uttered the words “ini agama syaitan” (referring to Hinduism). Of course this is the students’ word against his, so there’s virtually no way to prove it. » Read more: Apology for agama syaitan?
