On issues of all national importance, there is almost an non-existent response from the leaders of the MCA and Gerakan. How true. They are actually the puppets whose strings are firmly attached to the Malay Umno. So how can they voice out?

It is true what the ex-PM Dr Mahathir Mohamad has been proclaiming - newspapers in Malaysia are under the control of government so where can anyone find true news in Malaysia? And what about the non-Malay party of MIC? This party is being monopolised by S Samy Vellu who's another puppet of Umno.

I am ex-citizen of Malaysia. I came to Singapore in 1989, became a citizen of Singapore in 1997. Unfortunately, my education was done in Malaysia where unfair education rules and regulations are faced by Chinese, Indian and other non-bumiputeras. Bahasa Melayu was a compulsory subject, forget about our mother tongue language unless you go to a Tamil or Chinese school.

The bumiputeras are allowed to enter their A-levels even if they get a Grade 3 for SPM. As for the non-Malay, they can only enter A-levels with a Grade 1. The bumiputeras are automatically given scholarships, while the others are required to apply and play the waiting game.

To enter into local universities, non-bumiputeras need nothing less than excellent results. If one is taking History as a subject for A-Levels, Islamic History is a compulsory topic. But English, a global tool, is a non-compulsory passing subject. Local graduates therefore do not meet the requirements of the job market.

That is why I left. I left a country where there is no system, an unfair government which only cares only for bumiputeras' interest with no equal opportunity or equal treatment for the others.

What have MIC, MCA or Gerakan done for us? Nothing. Only the opposition DAP says the things which are truly happening in Malaysia. Who is Khairy Jamaluddin to talk about Penang? What does he know about being marginalised. Why is the racial harmony of yesteryears being threatened by Umno itself? The Indians in Malaysia, especially in the rural areas, are in pitiful state. Who is supposed to care for them? The MIC just leaves them to rot away.

Senior Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew has done a favour for the Chinese in Malaysia by voicing his views recently. Who is going to voice out the plight of the Indians in Malaysia? I still love my country where once people of all races lived in harmony. Yes, they still do but not with clear mind. We non-Malays have tolerated the government for far too long.

Come the next elections, I hope many will awaken from their dream and vote for the right people to bring Malaysia to greater heights. They so far have been failed by the money politics of Barisan Nasional.
