Waytha, Tunggu Apa Lagi? Posted: 24 Aug 2013 03:44 PM PDT Kata Zahid, Waytha bukan saja tidak harus mempertikaikan kerja polis, bahkan juga tidak seharusnya mengeluarkan kenyataan yang bertentangan dengan dasar yang ditentukan kerajaan. "Beliau jangan ingat beliau masih pemimpin NGO, beliau bukan pemimpin Hindraf lagi dan jangan campur kerja polis,"tegas Zahid. Tambah Zahid, jika ada pemimpin NGO yang kini sudah menyertai kerajaan masih mengeluarkan kenyataan negatif dan bertentangan dengan dasar kerajaan, letak jawatan dan kembali kepada NGO semula. Serangan Zahid terhadap bekas pemimpin Hindraf itu jelas menunjukkan beliau tidak senang dengan cara Waytha yang masih terkongkong dengan sentimen Hindraf apabila cuba mempertahankan lima penjenayah India yang ditembak mati di Pulau Pinang dengan mengatakan beliau tidak percaya berlaku kejadian tembak-menembak antara polis dengan suspek, sebaliknya mengesyaki penjenayah itu ditembak dari jarak dekat. Lantaran itu, Zahid segera melontarkan serangan terhadap kenyataan Waytha yang bukan saja bersifat negatif dan bertentangan dengan sifatnya sebagai seorang timbalan menteri, malah lebih dari itu seolah-olah menunjukkan simpati terhadap penjenayah. Bagi Zahid yang merupakan pemimpin nombor tiga dalam UMNO, pendirian dan kenyataan Waytha itu amat tidak wajar dan menggesanya supaya meletakkan jawatan daripada kerajaan jika terlalu inginkan berpendirian seperti Hindraf semula. Dalam hal ini, Pengerusi DAP, Karpal Singh juga sependirian dengan Zahid bahawa Waytha seharusnya meletakkan jawatan jika tidak sehaluan dengan dasar kerajaan yang mana beliau merupakan salah seorang pemimpinnya. Dengan Zahid mengeluarkan gesaan dan cabaran itu, Waytha sebenarnya tidak ada pilihan lain melainkan menunjukkan sifat kejantanannya dengan bersedia menyahut cabaran itu, melainkan jawatan timbalan menteri yang disandangnya itu merupakan anugerah dan idaman hati yang begitu sukar mahu dilepaskan. Dalam mana-mana kerajaan di dunia, bahkan di Malaysia pun, bukanlah sesuatu yang pelik apabila seseorang menteri atau timbalan menteri meletakkan jawatan kerana tidak setuju dengan sesuatu perkara. Di zaman Mahathir, zaman Pak Lah malah di era Najib juga, sudah ada yang meletak jawatan atau menolak tawaran jawatan yang diberikan. Waytha tidak boleh lagi berdiam diri selepas Zahid meneriakkan cabaran ke telinga ini. Beliau harus menyatakan pendiriannya sama ada kekal seperti sekarang atau menarik balik kenyataan yang dikeluarkannya sebelum ini. Jika masih mahu kekal berjiwa Hindraf, letaklah jawatan serta kembalilah berjuang melalui Hindraf atau jika mahu bersma kerajaan lagi, tarik balik kenyataan dulu, mohon maaf sambil ciumlah tangan Zahid. Kalau boleh mohon maaf dan cium tangan jugalah kepada Najib dan Muhyiddin. READ MORE HERE

The Sensitive Indian (2): We're rich enough to be Post-Materialists Posted: 24 Aug 2013 11:11 AM PDT When the Seri Pristana incident irrupted, Kamalanathan the deputy education minister, rushed to the scene. He "investigated." He held an instant press conference. He pronounced judgment. He gave a hand-out to the school to expand the canteen. He said "case closed." Kamala didn't directly address the charge laid by the Indian mother of a pupil who attends the school: in Muslim-majority Malaysia, during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadhan, the canteen building and services were closed and Indian pupils were made to have their meal breaks in a shower room. [I've written about Seri Pristana here, hereand here.] According to news reports, the education ministry laterordered the school headmaster (HM) to take one week's leave. Also according to news reports, while the HM was on leave, he entered the school and took photos of non-Muslim children in the school. Political opportunists zoomed in on the case. Noh Omar, the Umno chieftain in the state of Selangor, visited the school and spoke to the press. Umno is the Malay-rights political party which helms the Federal government. Seri Pristana however is in Selangor, a state helmed by the opposition alliance, Pakatan. The Umno chieftain called for the parent to be charged with sedition, i.e. taking actions which could destabilize the nation. The Umno-controlled newspaper, Utusan, claimed the Selangor State police chief threatened to investigate those who propagate photos of the school's temporary canteen. The Seri Pristana incident is so typical of what we see in Malaysia: hand-outs to show government patronage and magnanimity, inviolable "Malay-rights," and threats against those who seek to influence the national agenda. The Seri Pristana incident is so typical of what we see in Malaysia: Kamala, a leader of the Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC), says "it's all a misunderstanding, we've solved it, let's move on." Then Vel Paari, MIC's Strategic Director, says it's not over until disciplinary action is taken against the HM. The Seri Pristana incident is so typical of what we see in Malaysia: national leaders who are members of the ruling coalition act out of the belief that non-Malays can better themselves only by kissing the hands of Malay leaders and even garlanding them; progress not through reasoning, but through obeisance. Enlightened Indians look at such irruptions through images such as these: Cow-head. Home minister Hishammuddin feting cow-head toting Umno men in his ministerial office. Hand-kissing. Kamala kissing Muhyiddin's hand. Garlanding. MIC garlanding Najib in Batu Caves during Thaipusam. Bum-in-your-face gyrations by retired Malay armed forces men against Ambiga Sreenivasan, a former president of the Bar Council and currently the public face of justice in Malaysia. Irene Fernandez. For years the state hounded Irene Fernandez of Tenaganita for her expose of dreadful conditions in refugee camps in Malaysia. The EO6. 5 of the 6 illegally detained and interrogated members of PSM ("the EO6") were Indians, one of them a nationally and internationally celebrated doctor who also happens to be an elected Member of Parliament. [Here is one of my articles on the EO6.] Cynthia Gabriel. The state continues to harass Cynthia Gabriel of SUARAM for her quest to find the truth, re. Scorpene and the seemingly motive-less murder of Altantuya. Thaipusam. The government's collusion with the MIC, demonstrated by inaction against disruptions of public order during Thaipusam. [See my piece on Thaipusam, here.] Enlightened Indians, after acquiring so many comforts in life, are asking "Why are there so many poor Malaysian Indians?" Enlightened Indians are moving into a post-materialist life, no longer struggling for food and shelter; they are looking instead to do good to their poor neighbours. Enlightened Indians are noticing that the educational achievements of Malaysian Indians is dismal: according to the 2000 census, a Malaysia Indian aged 25 – 34 years is 20 % less likely than a Malay to have MCE/SPM ("O-level") certificate. See my notice of Professor Hirschman's findings, here. Read more at: http://write2rest.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-sensitive-indian-2-were-rich-enough.html
