When you build a brand new sheep's den, would you invite the local wolf to officially open it? This is exactly what RS Thanenthiran is doing in launching his brand new Malaysia Makkal Sakti Party come Oct 10.

It is simply amazing the number of people developing selective amnesia these days. If my memory serves me correct, the term makkal sakthi was coined by followers of Hindraf in response to Umno's evil rule that brought untold discrimination and misery to the Malaysian Indians, Now PMSM is planning to return to Umno and seek their help to save their victims.

Very ironic, I must say.

Questions that must be asked:

1) How did they manage to get approval from the Registrar of Societies within a matter of a few weeks to register MMSP? The Human Rights Party that P Uthayakumar has applied to register for four months, has not been approved. Try egistering any society for that matter and see how long it will take.

2) Instead of the PM coming as a VIP guest and officiating the opening ceremony, wouldn't it be better if he just approves some of Hindraf's highlighted grievances of the Indian Malaysians in the first place to prove his sincerity?

3) Is the formation of MMSP part of Umno's grand plan of hijacking the popular 'Makkal Sakthi' war cry of the opposition?

4) Will the formation of MMSP confuse the Indian Malaysians and eventually split the Indian votes in the next general elections, much to the benefit of the corrupt Umno regime?

I think the Malaysian public have now attained political maturity and as such any political prostitution attempts like the formation of MMSP under the patronage of Umno will no longer succeed like before.
