More empty promises from our PM. He says that problems faced by Indian community will be looked after, but clearly the community does not feel so. He used the all to familiar “will” word in saying “This is not just an empty promise but a serious promise that we will<\/span> carry out”.<\/p>\n

Then, he went on to say that everything in the BN manifesto will be done, but sad to say, there’s nothing much in it for the Indians<\/span>. no special fund like ASB, no dept for non-muslims, no ban on temple demolition, no conversion of partially-aided to fully-aided status for tamil schools, no mention of achieving 1.5% equity, nothing about illegal conversion, death in jails, housing discount for all races. NOTHING<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Part 2<\/a><\/p>\n

So, how to trust?<\/p>\n

Abdullah: We will solve woes faced by Indians<\/p>\n

source<\/a><\/p>\n

KEPALA BATAS: The problems faced by the Indian community in the country will be seriously looked into and addressed, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said.<\/p>\n

“This is not just an empty promise but a serious promise that we will carry out. I am listening to your problems and demands.<\/p>\n

“We will discuss your problems and will execute whatever we have promised in the Barisan Nasional’s manifesto<\/span><\/strong> if we win in the coming elections [here’s the catch – there’s nothing specific in the BN Manifesto for the Indians! You can see how the information is manipulated to show as if things will change<\/span>. Read the<\/span> manifesto<\/a> and check if the word “indian” appears or not.]<\/span>.<\/p>\n

“These include education for the Indians and problems faced by Indians in estates,” he said in his address to about 2,000 Indians at a dinner at Dewan Millennium here. They comprised members and division leaders of the Kepala Batas MIC, Indian Progressive Front and People’s Progressive Party.<\/p>\n

Abdullah said the Government was aware<\/span> that there were many other problems affecting the Indians that had not been settled. [since when become aware? since the memo submitted in august 2007 or even way before that? or after the rally?]<\/span>\u00a0 He said the Kepala Batas district office was doing its best to resolve problems affecting the community, including Indian temples and land matters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
