Everyone chides Hindraf these days but in their heyday after Nov 25, 2007
everyone looked at them from a humane perspective that is now vaporised.
After March 8, 2008, everyone settled in but then everything got political
later.

We had the dream of Sept 16, 2008 when Anwar Ibrahim failed miserably.
Then came the 'hopping frogs' from DAP and PKR that handed Perak over to
Umno. Then came the issues of Kampung Buah Pala, the courting of turncoats
in Hindraf and now the neverending disputes in Pakatan Rakyat.
Now, of course, we don't know what is going to happen as Pakatan attempts
to hold its fort through their 'mandores' but Prime Minister Najib Abdul
Razak woes the Indian Malaysians directly as he understands that the MIC

Nov 25, 2007 will go down as the day the greatest demonstration was held to express the state of hopelessness the Indian Malaysians were living in independent Malaysia. It was a day to show the years of displacement and marginalisation caused by selective policies.

It was the culmination of a long journey of neglect that made the Indians more disadvantaged than others .The irony is that the bulk of Tamils who came to Malaysia under the indentured labour system of the British were from the lowest caste stratification of the Indian society.

The High Court has today struck out the RM100 million defamation suit by former ISA detainee M Manoharan, who is also Kota Alam Shah assemblyperson in Selangor.

The DAP politician has sued the government, inspector-general of police, the attorney-general as well as three mainstream newspapers - New Straits Times, The Star and Utusan Malaysia - for alleged defamation.

High Court judge Zabariah Mohd Yusof dismissed the suit in chambers this morning after hearing submission from all parties.

GEORGETOWN: The Human Rights Party (HRP) launched its Prai voters’ registration campaign as part of its strategy to create Indian-majority constituencies in the country.

HRP believes the Prai constituency could be the launch pad for its political quest to create at least 15 Indian-majority federal and state seats across the country.

Prai has 14,175 registered voters, including 5,074 Indians or 36 percent.

Prai comes under Batu Kawan parliamentary seat. Both seats are now being held by Penang Deputy Chief Minister 2 P Ramasamy.

HRP aims to register about 4,100 more Indians as voters to turn Prai into an Indian-majority state seat.

The HRP panthal at the Masi Magam festival announced in very visible and clear terms the emergence of HRP as the political wing of Hindraf.. The panthal team did a very good job in preparing the various paraphernalia for the event. This is going to be the hallmark of the HRP/Hindraf team – Effectiveness.

You should have seen the looks on the faces and eyes of the people who came into the panthal and in the walkabout when they met and shook hands with Uthayakumar – awe , gratitude, pride..I do not know what you can call those expressions, but one thing was very clear. The fire still burns in the hearts of these poor people and they long for a fresh new beginning in this country.

Waythamoorthy: We’re not racist (Malaysiakini)

Posted Sun, 07/02/2010 - 04:50 by admin

Joe Fernandez(Malaysiakini)

Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) chairperson P Waythamoorthy has denied that he is spearheading a racist movement.

“We just can’t understand this racist label pinned on us through no fault of our own,” he told Malaysiakini.

“People who say that we are racists should first examine the meaning and definition of the term,” added the Hindraf leader who was given political asylum in Britain.

Waythamoorthy was responding to an avalanche of public comments against him.

This followed mostly calls in Sabah and Sarawak that PKR supremo Anwar Ibrahim should re-assess his position in the party. Waythamoorthy was quoted in the article as well.

Academic suggests poll-winning Pakatan-Hindraf combo

The best way for the Pakatan Rakyat to win back its lost Indian electoral ground is to team up with the Human Rights Party (HRP) with its socio-political arm Hindu Rights Action Front or Hindraf, suggested a Penang based academic.

Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM)deputy dean from USM's school of social sciences Sivamurugan Pandian said such a combination looked the best bet for Pakatan to reach out to Indian voters across the country, despite Hindraf's self-destructive tendencies.

Given that virtually all Indian-based parties and organisations were linked to Barisan Nasional, he said it was politically crucial for Pakatan to include an Indian face to its fold.

Hindraf supports Zaid's call for reforms

Hindraf Makkal Sakthi chair P Waythamoorthy has expressed cautious optimism over Pakatan Rakyat (PR) chair Zaid Ibrahim's call for change and reform in Malaysia.

Makkal Sakthi – people power in Tamil – is the Hindu Rights Action Front (Hindraf) theme.

Waythamoorthy (left) foresees that Sabah and Sarawak will be taking an increasingly neutral stance to determine who rules in Putrajaya.

“The March 2008 political tsunami in Peninsular Malaysia has given a chance for them do what is best for themselves,” said Waythamoorthy.

He was speaking to Malaysiakini in Kota Kinabalu from London.
