| PSM supports Hindraf Blueprint Posted: 29 Jan 2013 11:59 AM PST
Dear Waytha, HINDRAF BLUEPRINT Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) having studied the Blueprint put out by Hindraf would like to express our support in principle to the below 6 issues raised by Hindraf. 1. Hundreds of thousands of internally displaced estate workers. PSM is against any policies which are discriminative based on race. We call for affirmative actions to be taken irrespective of race and religion to uplift the poor and marginalised in the country. We also endorse Hindraf's call for a Ministry of Minority Affairs as we agree with Hindraf that institutional racism exists in our society and that it needs to be identified and addressed in a conscious and concerted fashion. Institutionalised racism will not disappear just because there is a change in government. PSM had also previously supported the Social Inclusion Acts promoted by SABM (Saya Anak Bangsa Malaysia) Thank You Dr.Jeyakumar Devaraj

| Sugumar's family will not participate in sham inquest - New evidence proves it was murder Posted: 29 Jan 2013 11:39 AM PST
The testimony given to the police was shocking, and confirms the family's position that Sugumar was killed by police personnel. The witnesses said that a police officer was seen stepping brutally on Sugumar's neck with his booted foot while Sugumar was seen trying to move his head away from under the boot. The police officer continued pressing on Sugumar's neck until he stopped struggling and became motionless. Lawyers for the family of C.Sugumar We refer to the statements on 29/1/13 by Selangor CPO Tun Hisan Tun Majid rejecting a murder investigation into C.Sugumar's death and the A-G's consent to an inquest. The calling of an inquest despite eyewitness evidence suggesting assault and murder is illogical, sinister and unlawful. We state here categorically, that the family of C Sugumar will not participate in this sham inquest. The rejection of a murder investigation and calling of inquest is part of a massive cover-up of Sugumar's death being orchestrated by the police, Home Ministry, A-G and government. On the evening of 29/1/13, three key eyewitnesses who witnessed the assault and murder of Sugumar by police personnel gave their statements to the police. It should be noted that police made no attempt to locate these witnesses despite knowing of their existence. The witnesses came forward entirely of their own accord. The testimony given to the police was shocking, and confirms the family's position that Sugumar was killed by police personnel. The witnesses said that a police officer was seen stepping brutally on Sugumar's neck with his booted foot while Sugumar was seen trying to move his head away from under the boot. The police officer continued pressing on Sugumar's neck until he stopped struggling and became motionless. This evidence was recorded by police yesterday in the presence of lawyers Eric Paulsen and Latheefa Koya. In the light of the above clear evidence, how can the police and A-G justify the holding of a mere inquest? We demand on behalf of Sugumar's family that a murder investigation be opened immediately. The family of Sugumar and the people of this country expect the police and A-G to act fairly and professionally and ensure that justice is done in this case.
