Ketuanan India anyone?

Good explanation by the PM. I’m sure when others come out with Ketuanan Jawa, Ketuanan Cina, Ketuanan India, Ketuanan Dayak etc., he will be supportive and appreciate the effort to make the respective races as “tuans”.

Err..if all become tuan, who is the coolie? The foreign workers?

I think that coolies should not be looked down since there won’t be masters without coolies/workers. Workers all around the world are acknowledged during Labor/Workers Day on May 1st.

So, MIC can start by announcing their Ketuanan India strategy to ensure Indians become masters, as the community have been in the coolie role since pre-independence days. » Read more: Ketuanan India anyone?

Well, when the party and its boss come under attack, more “truths” seem to appear. Now is Murugesan’s turn to tell his version of what happened at Padang Jawa on that fateful day. MIC would have tried to cover up this earlier to protect UMNO, but looks like their action is backfiring on them. Toyo is becoming a problem from BN, and maybe, just maybe, MIC have been set up to be UMNO’s henchmen to get rid of Toyo. Or possibly, Toyo have been tasked to retire Samy? » Read more: Murugesan tells his version of Padang Jawa temple demolition

After making a mess of denying the renewal of Makkal Osai’s publishing permit, Home Minister providers more comedy time for us.

I can only shake my head in amazement at the attempts these guys make!

In Putrajaya, Syed Hamid explained that the ministry had not cancelled Makkal Osai’s permit but merely delayed the approval for renewing its publishing licence. He said the newspaper’s permit had expired and its management had applied for renewal.

“(In the appeal letter) they said they needed to publish the newspaper and that they were supporting many people.

“They pledged to abide by the guidelines and contribute to nation-building efforts. I think their request was reasonable, so I approved it,” he told reporters yesterday.

Well, what an about turn! Let me guess, the Ministry statement will say that “the publisher has agreed to follow guidelines more closely. Further non-compliance will cause the permit to be not renewed.” Hmm…looks like no conditions imposed. » Read more: Makkal Osai permit finally renewed

The letter Hindraf submitted to UN is below.

It is mentioned that 100,000 people attended November 25 rally, which I think is incorrect. Other points can be debated fiercely, but I think it highlights the grouses of the community, even though it may use extreme examples at times.
