Another festival of lights and yet I still do not see any light at the end of the tunnel for Indian Malaysians.

I have to pay RM3.50 per minute for a call to India to wish my relatives a happy Deepavali, but I can make a transcontinental call for as low as RM1 per minute.

I have to pay RM1,800 for a return ticket to India, but with about the same price I can fly halfway round the world to New York and back

I can get an Indonesian maid whose pay is fixed at a minimum RM450, yet Malaysian estate workers (mostly Indian Malaysians) still don't have basic pay rate.

They tell me there is no racial interaction, now I am still left wondering why, why, why?
