Well…it has been some time after the election. If not mistaken, I think most of us are happy with the result as I am and some of us still cannot believe that we have made it happen. Whatsoever, we as a nation have proved that we can choose or trash a government. We used democracy to the tremendous. The “Makkal Sathi” synergy has been ignited by HINDRAF. Now everyone is brave enough to voice out his or her disgruntlements. It’s a big achievement by Malaysian Indians. Everything seems to be going on the right track. However, what are our goals in common? A friend of mine has written an article on his thoughts, which is to be read and ponder upon by every Malaysian Indian. Everyone’s critics and response are most welcome. Please read and brood over…

50 Years of Unspoken Words by Kalidass

Tamil proverb that says:

Oru gramathai katpatheke, oru kudumbathei parikudukulam;
Oru oorai karpatheke, oru gramathai parikudukulam;
Oru naathai katpatheke, oru oorai parikudukulam.

The English translation of the proverb is as follows:

Lately there were massive rallies organized in Malaysia by HINDRAF, BERSIH and SUAKAM, which somehow resulted the political tsunami in Malaysia on the recent election. Therefore, apart from the neighboring country, I thought that Malaysia is the only country facing with these types of dilemma. However, sad to know that Singaporean’s are also facing some setbacks.

About 20 people staged a protest outside parliament house in Singapore wearing red t-shirt that said “Tak Boleh Tahan” which means “Can’t Stand Anymore” with price hike. They were holding placards and chanting slogans decrying the rising cost of living in Singapore.

Among the protesters were several Singapore’s opposition Party members. As a result, they were arrested after a tense standoff with police on Saturday for their peaceful protest outside the city-state’s parliament house. This is a rare assembly and a permit is required if there are more then five people are participating.

The state government is just establishing themselves to get to know their work scopes. They have not even gone to the grounds and roots yet. I bet they must have many things to be done. The senior or experience person should instead help them to be established. UMNO la, who else…It is still tolerable if they cannot help our fresh men’s out there to get establish but don’t show your color la. Please do not repudiate them. Not even a week after a humiliating defeat, UMNO has rallied a protest. It is infamy to listen that the Penang Umno secretary Azhar Ibrahim led the protest. Did anyone from the new state lineup mentioned that they are going to sideline the Malays? The state government reps only mentioned that they are going to abolish the New Economic Policy or NEP, and why that makes them to protest. I have many Malay friends and they welcome the new government…it only takes UMNO to act like this…maybe because they cannot practice cronyisms anymore. Be more mature on your demand next time.

Look the photos below. Look at the crowd which came for the DAP ceramah in Han Chiang Stadium Penang yesterday. It is mainly attended by Chinese and Indian Community. Among the speakers were Lim Kit Siang, Guan Eng, Karpal Singh, Jeff Ooi and etc. They were rocking. The crowd did not disperse even when it started to rain. I was amazed to see such crowd. The last I saw such turnout is for HINDRAF events which was held in Penang last year, which mainly attended by Indian Community. This people have not been paid to be there. Infact they volunteered to give contribution to DAP upon requesting. Heard people saying that almost RM120,000.00 of donations, managed to be collected. Thats huge guys. Can BN do that? Instead, BN has to pay the people to attend their events. What a pity. This clearly shows that the government has fail to serve the community or “rakyat”. This shows people really want change. Vote opposition. Hope to see new government soon. Let the almighty be merciful unto us…Valge Makkal Sakthi!!!

Dear readers, this is an email from a guy by the name of Kumaran who has been neglected by the government. He’s from Sungai Siput. The place which we used to call as Uncle Sam’s territory. Lets see whether our uncle can help or not. He has contacted me and request to post his story on MakalVoice. Please comment your suggestions.

Hi, thanks for your reply.This is the mail that i sent to Prime minister department, Perak State education department and to some opposition parties. Hope to get some response.Here is another true story that shows how much care existing government has on Indians.

I am a graduate from UTM. I applied for KPLI and failed to get. In order to have high chance in next intake i was informed to be a temporary teacher. According to head masters in two Tamil schools in Sungai Siput they are waiting for PPD to send teachers. But when I contacted PPD Kuala Kangsar on 26th February, I was told that there are many schools in Perak facing shortage of teachers. But PPD have the limited quota (3 for Kuala Kangsar) for the teachers for Tamil schools. NO additional teachers will be hired though the shortage is at alarming stage. I further questioned the officer there, and was told that the schools need to wait till next year so that another 3 more teachers will be hired or need to wait for application from teachers to be transferred to this area. WHAT will happen if NO ONE applied? TAMIL schools need to face shortage of teachers throughout the year? WHY no one in Education Ministry take any action?
