[ the same can be asked of all political parties. That's why they exist, no?]
"You mean, for 50 years, the MIC did not do anything?
[more likely the last 30 years its been downhill as compared to the 1st 20 years]
MIC acknowledged that the community had some chronic problems, such as in the area of education opportunities and also the relocation of estate workers.
[ aik! I thought everytime they said life is rosy and everyone is happy. Now, the community have some chronic problem???]
He said the MIC was trying to resolve these problems, but nothing could be done overnight.
[ 50 years is not overnight. Even 30 years is not overnight. If can convert one school every year to fully aided, we would have extra 30 schools to the 180].
"We also need more statistics on the problems facing the Indians so that we can bring them up with the government. This is now a priority for us."
[ Why not use YSS to gather statistics? They seem to look more capable. But really, now only want to collect statistics??? Never had monthly reports from divisions on poverty, unemployment, education etc? Only have statistics on voters and voting trend is it? Err…what was your priority before this?]
youth wing wanted to compile a list of problems in every area so that relevant action could be taken.
[ yeah..compile and add to the pile of neverending reports.]
"I have told all youth members to go on to the ground and gather all the information they can get and fax it to state youth secretariats daily."
[who pays for the fax cost? Can we also fax information?]
Comedy Time with MIC Youth! 🙂
Hindraf 'hijacked' by opposition
KLANG: Opposition politicians have hijacked the Hindu Rights Action Front (Hindraf) and are now proclaiming themselves as saviours of the Indians, a senior MIC official said.
"They have hijacked it and are going around throwing all kinds of accusations at the MIC and the government," said MIC Youth chief S.A. Vigneswaran.
"Is the opposition really worried about the state of affairs of the Indians, or is it trying to win support for the coming elections?"
Speaking at the start of a nationwide roadshow by the MIC Youth movement here on Friday night, Vigneswaran said the opposition kept saying the MIC had not done anything for the Indians.
"You mean, for 50 years, the MIC did not do anything?
"If this is true, why didn't these so-called heroes do anything all this while?"
The roadshow is to explain to the youth members the current issues and what needed to be done.
Vigneswaran said the MIC acknowledged that the community had some chronic problems, such as in the area of education opportunities and also the relocation of estate workers. He said the MIC was trying to resolve these problems, but nothing could be done overnight.
"We also need more statistics on the problems facing the Indians so that we can bring them up with the government. This is now a priority for us."
