Satees Muniandy of DAP said, “Her comment shows that the young girl is naive and immature when she talks about politics. While I don’t undermine the young people who like to get involved in political debates, I also would like to point out that they should carefully analyse their points before they making any biased comments.”

Then he goes on and on talking about the history of the Indian 'struggle'.

Dear Satees, yes, I know all about the history of the Indian ‘struggle’. MIC started as a socialist party and when first formed in 1946 it was to fight for India’s independence from Britain. That is why it adopted the ‘Congress’ in its name, after India’s Congress Party that was founded in 1885.

During WWII, many Indian Malaysians supported Subhas Chandra Bose of India, who collaborated with Germany and the Japanese.

Bose actually supported the Japanese occupation of Malaya, while the Chinese and Malays went into the jungle to fight the Japanese.

Many Malay soldiers died fighting the Japanese, even members of the royal family (as did the Chinese in the Malayan People’s Anti-Japanese Army or MPAJA). So please do not talk to me about struggles. In fact, the Kelantan Malays rose against the British in 1915 and Tok Janggut was hanged for triggering this uprising.

So let me assure you that the Indian Malaysians in DAP do not have a monopoly on ‘struggles’.

By the way, in 2000, when I was just 12 years old, I went to Lunas for the by-election that Saifuddin Nasution of PKR won against MIC, my first political ‘outing’. And we won that by-election and managed to deny BN its two-thirds majority in the Kedah state assembly because of that.

In 2004, at age 16, I campaigned for Abdul Rahman Othman of PKR (and now in PAS) in Putrajaya against Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor of Umno. I went all over Putrajaya to put up posters and slept under a tent.

DAP and PKR did nothing to help us even when we asked for help. Only PAS helped us, even its president, Tok Guru Abdul Hadi Awang, came to Putrajaya to ceramah. No one from PKR or DAP did that.

And my reason for mentioning Gerakan to those Indian Malaysians who are disillusioned with MIC is because Gerakan does not play hate politics like DAP allegedly does and because my grandfather supported and voted for that party in the 1969 general election because he wanted non-racial politics. And I consider my grandfather, one of the first Malay barristers, a wise man.
