Samy Vellu today launched a stinging attack against a non-governmental organisation, the Hindu Rights Action Force (HINDRAF), which claimed that the Barisan Nasional (BN) government had done little to address the woes of the Malaysian Indian community over the last 50 years. <\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I must state here that if there is anything that affects the Indian community, the MIC will be there to fight it out even when we are partners of the Barisan Nasional. To me, I have never remained idle and I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t waste time,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Samy Vellu, who is also Works Minister, told Bernama today. <\/p>\n<p>The MIC supremo was asked to comment on a 18-point memorandum by HINDRAF, which was handed to the Prime Minister\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s office last Sunday by the organisation\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s chairman P. Waytha Moorthy, secretary V.K Regu and its legal adviser P. Uthayakumar. <\/p>\n<p>Apart from stating that the Indian community was marginalised by the BN government, in the memorandum, HINDRAF also wanted an end to special privileges given to Malays. The memorandum also took a dig at Umno asking the largest political party in the country to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153stop playing politics&#8221; through the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153mandore\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (supervisor) system by dishing out aid to the Indian community on a piecemeal basis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>finally, something that appeared on mainstream media (the NST) about the memorandum by HINDRAF.
