MIC under the leadership of Dato G.Palanivel is set to migrate the Indian community to a bright future

I came a cross a query some one wants to know what is MIC and does it a "'Consumer Association".Even, some political advocate refer MIC as 'Malaysian Indian Curse'. This invites me to share my thoughts and opinion on MIC and its role in Malaysian politics.

Malaysian Indian Congress ( MIC) is the political party founded in year 1946 and fought for the Independence of Malaya together with UMNO and MCA. MIC is the only party represents the Indian community to draft the Constitution, which was the basis and legal framework for Malaya to achieve Independence in year 1957 and subsequently become the supreme law of this country.

MIC is the party, representing the Indians fought for the citizenship rights of Indians and nearly 2 million non- malays, including Indians , become citizens of this country over night. The Islamic party,PAS, and many other Islamic and extremist parties, worked against the idea of giving citizenship to non-Malays and put up a political struggle, including agitating the Malay community to refuse the citizenship proposal and enjoin Malaya with Indonesia to become one big "Malaya Raya (a Malay dominant region) .

Tunku Abdul Rahman , as the head of UMNO who represent the majority of the Malay community then, never entertained demands and suggestion put by PAS and the ultra Malay parties but went ahead with his proposal of opening Malaya to non-Malays. Tunku proposed an idea that 'Malays can work with Indians and Chinese as one big family'.

After Independence, MIC fought for Tamil schools, Hindu Temples to remain and flourish in this country. MIC fought for the social-economic rights and development of the Indian community. Today, we see 80% of the Indian community moved out from the rural background to urban setting and the average Indian family's income has increased tremendously from RM 475 in year 1970 to RM 4000 in year 2010.

But, it is unfortunate , in the past, MIC faces a lot of challenges including leadership crisis within the party, less support from the community, many educated Indians ridiculed MIC as Tamilan party and shun away and now some young Indians claim that MIC is irrelevant. Disunity among Indians has crippled Indians political strength in the past. Indians should unite, regardless of their origin and background, in the future to sustain our legitimate rights in this benevolent country.

Nevertheless, I am confident, the present MIC leadership under Dato G.Palanivel, is capable of bringing Indian community to a better future by working closely with PM Najib who cares for Indians.Indians future is to work within the system founded by our fore fathers. Have NAMBIKAI that PM Najib Tun Razak and Dato G.Palanivel's leadership will ensure a bright future for Indians of today and tomorrow.

LGE CLAIMS HIS GOVERNMENT HAS SLASHED PENANG GOVERNMENT DEBT? MISLEADING CLAIMS!

Some social media reports that Penang CM Lim Guan Eng claims that his government has reduced the state govenment's debt by 95 % , that is the state government has reduced the state government debt from RM 630 million to RM 30 million in year 2010.

I will certainly congratulate LGE if he has settled the debt from the profit and revenue earned from the economic ventures undertaken by his government.Infact,the Auditor General Report (AG) says that LGE has failed miserably to initiate development projects such as provide low and medium cost homes for the lower income groups.

LGE also failed to draw plans for the state government agencies to carry out development projects for the well being of the Penang people regardless of race.

LGE has also failed to collect the revenue for the state amounting to RM 78 million.

But, LGE and his stoogers claim that only the state government under LGE has recorded surplus. But,the AG Report reports that the previous state government under BN too has recorded surplus for several years including year 2006,2007,2008.

The Auditor General Report also indicates that the state government debt increase from RM 683.75 million (2009) to RM 687.79 million ( 2010).

The above mentioned Auditor General Report indicates clearly that LGE merely continue and sustain the success recorded by the BN government in year 2009 and 2010.

LGE's government only continue and sometime hijack the development projects initiated by BN but shamelessly claim as their projects.They have not done anything on their own.

So, LGE has not performed any miracles in state financial management as some claims.

Nevertheless, LGE is using his sosial media networks ruthlessly to stage a political propaganda to coerce people to believe that his government is best.

Penangites must be aware that LGE is merely using the Hitler's strategy to hoodwink the innocent rakyat of Penang particularly the Indian masses.

The Penangites are not prepared any more to fall prey to LGE false claims and propaganda tactics.
