COMMENT | Prior to GE14, Dr Mahathir Mohamad admitted that he was partly guilty of neglecting the Indian community during his time as Prime Minister. He apologized for the past lapses and vowed to render more assistance to the minority group should the Pakatan Harapan coalition gain power in the elections.

He further pledged to allocate RM4 billion over 10 years for the development of the community.

But what has happened? Harapan must not only promise, but keep their promise.

We saw intense campaigning by the current Indian ministers in the cabinet to capture the Indian votes. They spoke relentlessly on empowering Tamil schools, special grants to uplift the B40 sector, citizenship, micro credits, financial assistance for students.

But the Malaysian Indian Blueprint is still shrouded in mystery.
