COMMENT PM Najib Abdul Razak must be foolish to think that using a foreign ‘white man’ to project the Malaysian Indian blueprint development plan in the 11th Malaysia Plan would succeed.

The betrayal of PM Najib on his memorandum of understanding (MOU) towards the Indian community would not be taken lightly and he is yet to see the full wrath of the Indian community.

At the outset Hindraf wishes to state that the term ‘white man’ used here is not intended to be racist or offend the western white community but to educate the Malaysian PM and his Umno ministers.

Hindraf is shocked to learn than a Hong Kong-based development and branding expert company has been engaged to brief the Malaysian Indians on the so-called ‘Malaysian Indian blueprint development’ apparently on May 24 in Kuala Lumpur.

Text messages have been circulated in various chat groups and online that seem to suggest the CEO by the name of Douglas Dean of a foreign company called Human Capital Group Asia Limited has written to various community leaders and groups calling for a briefing/meeting on the so-called ‘Malaysian Indian blueprint development workshop’ at the Sheraton Imperial Hotel on May 24, 2015.

If indeed this is true that the abovementioned company has been appointed, then Hindraf would say that the Prime Minister Najib lives in a cocoon of his own without realising the reality and the ground sentiments of the people and their daily sufferings. The prime minister must be absolutely foolish to think that he could use a ‘white man’ to further cheat and mislead the Indian community into believing his antics.

Hindraf wishes to state in clear terms that the betrayal of PM Najib on the MOU signed with Hindraf towards uplifting the socio economic status of the Indian community would not be taken lightly and he is yet to see the full wrath of the Indian community. The community will surely punish him and his entire government at the right time and at the right place.

He will never be able to escape from his lies of ‘nambikei’ as it has now been obvious and plain to all that his leadership is nothing but plundering the nation of its wealth whilst portraying to the public that he has engaged the best consultants and experts to deal with the country’s economy.

The 11th Malaysia plan unveiled by the prime minister seem to suggest that there is a Malaysian Indian blueprint development. The 11th plan has been misleading at page 7 & 8 of its summary which states that the household monthly income has increased from RM264.00 in 1970 to RM6,141.00 and all these was possible by Malaysia’s development policy which places prosperity and well-being of the rakyat at the heart of economic growth under:

a) The New Economic Policy 1971-1990

b) National Development Policy 1991-2000

c) National Vision Policy 2001-2010.

d) National Transformation Policy 2011-2020.

Estate workers still earn RM400 monthly

This statement in the 11th Plan is a complete lie as thousands of estate workers, mainly the Indian Malaysians, still earn a meager RM400 monthly in many places and we can provide concrete proof on this.

All the development plans outlined above has seen more than RM1 trillion spent but the 70 percent Indians remain an underclass and cut off from mainstream development plans of the country because of racism, racial discrimination and the plundering of peanut allocations allocated for the Indians.

Hindraf has only this to say to the prime Minister. Enough of your lies. Having failed to get your henchmen in the MIC and your BN component parties to cheat and mislead the community, your latest plan to use a foreign company and western white looking individuals to do your wayang kulit will not bear fruits to the Indian community underclass.

At most you could mislead the elite and upper class Indian ‘bodeks’ who would willingly believe your antics and make you comfortable that the grassroots, too, follow their sentiments.

Don’t blame Najib for Palanivel’s blueprint

The circus called Hindraf
