There should be some transparency here, as I (and also others) would like to know who is funding and running the website and its team. Is it a political party? Is it an NGO with fund from government? Is it a philanthropist? Is it a group of individuals? I did a whois and turned up with the info below.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/poobalan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/myindians2.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[7023]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7028 alignnone\" title=\"myindians2\" src=\"http:\/\/poobalan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/myindians2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"394\" height=\"544\" srcset=\"https:\/\/poobalan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/myindians2.jpg 394w, https:\/\/poobalan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/myindians2-217x300.jpg 217w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 394px) 100vw, 394px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">From the articles and statistics shown in the website, I think its a government-related or funded project because some of the statistics are not easily available and the articles seem to favor the authorities.

Whatever it is, as long as the community benefits from the information on the website, its a good move.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I&#8217;ve also send them a request via their feedback form few days ago, but till now, no response or action taken.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m sure by now many Malaysian Indians will be familiar with myindians.com courtesy of the massive advertisement blitz on radio.
