General assemblies of political parties will see a slew of resolutions being passed. Same with the recently concluded MIC general assembly. 6 resolutions were passed. Various “requests” were made, and according to MIC President, the PM will study these “requests”. And he mentioned that the bulk of it would be in Budget 2014, meaning not next year la (well, Budget 2013 is over already).<\/p>\n
Anyway, some of 2011 requests were approved, for example more places in matriculation and increasing allocation for Indians in the budget 2012.<\/p>\n
\n\n
Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak\u00a0will study the various requests made by MIC during its just-concluded general assembly.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe didn’t ask for a lot. We made specific financial requests. I raised them in the recent Cabinet meeting and he agreed. The bulk will be included in the 2014 Budget.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Government has given a total RM1.8bil to the Indian community since he took over as Prime Minister,\u201d said party\u00a0president Datuk Seri G. Palanivel.<\/p>\n
Palanivel had in his presidential address asked the Government to set up a 1Malaysia incubator fund for the Indian community in order to attract young minds; RM10mil for Yayasan Strategik Sosial to train young entrepreneurs; RM10mil to expand MIC’s pilot after-school remedial programme, as well as a RM30mil grant to MIED and a matching grant to AIMST University, among others.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
