The launching of the ‘Indus Education Foundation’ by the prime minister, who is also the chairperson of Barisan Nasional, is amongst the long list of efforts undertaken by the PM to directly uplift the Indian community at the exclusion of the Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC). Whilst these efforts are seen to be contributing towards the Indian community, realistically they must be seen as a vote of no confidence towards MIC and MIC-linked institutions.
