Empathy, not sympathy

The Hindraf rally and its claims being circulated abroad have come as a bolt of lightning to the government, with the prime minister being visibly upset with some of the accusations. He believes these are a pack of lies, but there is never smoke without a fire.

The fact that the Hindraf march involved about 30,000 people should cause even greater concern to all observers. Maybe we need to learn to listen. Even MIC has not totally dismissed it although its head continues to speak the language of denial.

With the full round of emotions having been expressed, even the PM has now begun to state that he will listen; that he has ?big ears?. More editorials and mainstream writers are also beginning to address the symbolic but significant nature of the protest. Even the outspoken Mohd Nazri Abdul Aziz has stated that the PM should hold a meeting, albeit unconditional, with Hindraf leaders.
