TUNTUTAN HINDRAF : memorandum ini adalah tuntutan Hindraf. Kenapa dalam tuntutan itu kepimpinan India Malaysia tidak disentuh malah bukan Barisan Nasional yang di hentam tetapi UMNO sahaja. Bukankah Samy Vellu berkali-kali menyatakan bahawa beliau adalah pembela Masyarakat India dan merupakan orang pertama yang patut di belasah sekiranya Masyarakat India tidak puas hati atas apa yang dilakukan selama ini. Hindraf masih lagi kabur bagi www.umno-reform.com . Adakah ini hanya helah politik P.Uthayakumar yang sebelum ini pernah berusaha untuk membentuk Parti Reformasi Insan Malaysia untuk menjuarai isu dan juga untuk menambat hati Masyarakat India. Kita bicarakan selepas kita membaca tuntutan Hindraf yang benar-benar menyentuh perasaan orang Melayu, atau adakah salah kenyataan ini?

MEMORANDUM HINDRAF

50th year Merdeka (Independence) demands by the two (2) million ethnic minority Indians in Malaysia to Y.A.B. Dato’ Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi Prime Minister of Malaysia on Sunday the 12th day of August 2007 at 10.00a.m at Seri Perdana, Putrajaya Malaysia.

1. Whereas:

The Reid Commission was appointed by her Majesty the Queen of England and the Conference of Rulers in 1956 with the view to Malaya (and now Malaysia) achieving independence by August 1957.Among the primary terms of reference of the Reid Commission were a Common Nationality for the whole of the Federation.

2. And whereas

The overwhelming of the 131 written memoranda submitted to the Reid Commission as evidenced by the declassified documents from the Public Records Office, Kew, London, United Kingdom which represented the will and wishes of the then Malayan population were primarily equality and equal opportunities etc for all Malayans irrespective of race or religion as follows: -

2.1 In the grant of state land,

2.2 Admission to public and administrative service;

2.3 To trade and do business, licenses, permits etc

2.4 Primary, secondary, skills Training, university and overseas university education.

2.5 No special privileges for the Malays,

2.6 No discrimination of any ethnic community based on race or religion,

2.7 The retention of all their places of worship in particular Hindu temples, crematoriums and burial sites,

2.8 Freedom of Religion,

2.9 Malaya is to be a Secular State and not an Islamic state,

2.10 Right to mother tongue education in particular Tamil schools to be fully aided,

2.11 Minimum wage for the lowest paid, and

2.12 Equal recognition as sons of soil for all Malayan born.

3. And whereas

Based on the aforesaid proposals the Malaysian Federal Constitution, which is the supreme law of Malaysia as drawn out by the Reid Commission in 1957 was passed by the inaugural Malayan Parliament and which formed the basis of independent Malaysia.

4. And whereas

Over the last 50 years since independence on the 31st day of August 1957, the United Malays Organisation (UMNO) controlled Malaysian government with their majoritarian might, and backed by police, Attorney General’s Chambers, Judiciary, civil service and the media continuously violated the Malaysian Federal Constitution by their racist and Islamic extremist policies and which in effect have created an apartheid system ala Malaysia and especially resulting in the degeneration of at least 70% of the ethnic minority Indians to become the underclass of Malaysia who end up in the poor and hardcore poor category. The rest of the 29% raised above the poor and hardcore poor category wholly and/or substantially through their own efforts, sacrifices and labour with no or very little assistance by the UMNO controlled government. The 1% of the cream thrives anyway.

5. And whereas

The plight of the Indians have been made worse by the racist UMNO mindset having spilled over to even almost all of the Opposition parties, NGOs’, Civil society, Malaysian Human Rights Commission (Suhakam), Bar Council, the media etc who do not take up the Indian plight for they are deemed to be lacking “political mileage” (race based) and/or no funding.

6. And whereas

The Indians having no or very little opportunities for upward mobility or hope either turn to crime (60% of Malaysian detainees are Indians though they are only 8% of population-Suhakam 2005) or end up committing suicide which is 1000% higher than Malays (Utusan Malaysia 12.9.2005).7. And Whereas
at a public forum attended by 1,000 over Indians on 28.7.2007 at 7.00p.m at the Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall, the participants unanimously resolved to forward their 18 point demands and which this peaceful assembly gathered here today on the 12th day of August 2007 at Putrajaya once again unanimously resolves to demand as hereinbelow outlined.

(7) All the aforesaid is to be handled directly by the UMNO controlled government and UMNO is to stop “playing politics” through the “Mandore” (supervisor) system by dishing out on a piecemeal and/or peanuts basis or merely public and/or newspaper announcements and declarations by the Malaysian Indian Congress (M.I.C) who have no or very little power or say in the UMNO controlled Malaysian government.

Hindraf, tuntut gugurkan Hak Keistimewaan Melayu!

Hindraf - bukan cabaran kepada British sahaja malah menuntut supaya Hak Kebebasan MELAYU dihapuskan. Ini nampaknya adalah desakan yang serius dilakukan oleh Masyarakat India Malaysia. Tuduhan kerajaan menindas orang India di Malaysia meliputi gesaan agar orang Melayu digugurkan hak mereka. www.umno-reform.com memandang isu ini secara serius dan menuntut agar kita orang Melayu mengambil serius tuntutan mereka. Adakah ini satu desakan yang akan mengundang persengkataan antara kaum? Adakah kaum India sudah mula mendesak pengguguran hak keistimewaan Melayu secara agresif - orang Melayu perlu nyatakan pendirian!

Video dari www.malaysiakini.com seakan jelas menunjukkan bahawa Hindraf - bukan sahaja mahu menyaman British tetapi sebenarnya mengutarakan satu mesej besar untuk MENUNTUT ORANG MELAYU MENGGUGURKAN HAK KEISTIMEWAAN. Mereka sebenarnya mencabar Perlembagaan Negara ini khususnya peruntukan HAK untuk Bumiputera. Ini agar mengejutkan. Apa pun kita perlu membuat analisa yang begitu rapi - siapa dibelakang mereka, adakah ini menunjukkan bahawa BOM JANGKA perhubungan kaum sudah mula berdetik laju......Apa pendapat anda

Siapa PONDAN

Ini juga antara cara Nazri menjawab - apakah ini wajar dengan sikap provokatif dalam Parlimen. Cuba kita lihat video klip berikut

Sebenarnya kita perlu menilai penggunaan perkataan-perkataan seperti pondan, wire fuse dan lain-lain perkataan seperti bodoh,pekak dan sebagainya. Kita perlu tahu kehadiran semua-maksud saya semua wakil rakyat adalah pemilihan rakyat. Adakah pemilihan rakyat ini turut di hina oleh mereka seperti Nazri Tan Sri Aziz.

Mungkin benar - Melayu berani kerana salah? Sebenarnya kalau kita lihat perbalahan komen-tidak ada sebab untuk Nazri Tan Sri Aziz untuk bertindak emotional dalam persoalan ini. Apa pun kita dalam Barisan Nasional tidak perlu bertindak memalukan diri dengan sikap dan komen yang nampak emotional lantas memberi indikasi bahawa perhimpunan "bersih" itu menakutkan kita.

Nazri Tan Sri Aziz juga mesti menghormati kehadiran rakyat pada perhimpunan itu dan bertindak untuk menerangkan bukan secara tidak langsung memanggil mereka dengan gelaran bodoh dan sebagainya. Tindakan beliau hanya memburukkan keadaan dan panggilan-panggilan itu menunjukkan "kematangan kepimpinan kita " dalam berhujah.

Apa kata anda?

Agung kesal, rakyat bagaimana?

BILA AGUNG KESAL APA PULA KATA RAKYAT, ada yang mengatakan mereka tidak terkejaut dengan kenyataan YDP Agung. Apa pula pandangan kita mengenai kenyataan YDP Agung

UMNO akan jadi liabiliti buat BN

Masyarakat Cina akan mengundi pembangkang. Ini adalah kerana UMNO adalah liabiliti buat BN sekarang. Ini adalah kata-kata seorang rakan dalam membicarakan “survival Barisan Nasional”. Mereka mengatakan bahawa undi Cina akan berpindah tangan gara-gara kerana UMNO. UMNO bukan komponen BN yang kuat sekarang ini. Musuh UMNO banyak dan anak muda sudah mula sedar mengenai UMNO yang sebenarnya. Saya mendengar penuh kusuk.

Betul ke? Betul ke UMNO liabiliti buat BN. Adakah sikap ortodoks UMNO menjadikan UMNO liabiliti buat Barisan Nasional? Khairy Jamaluddin dalam kenyataan beliau sewaktu Perhimpunan Agung UMNO mengingatkan semua ahli Pergerakan Pemuda UMNO bahawa, pemimpin kaum lain harus sedar bahawa UMNO amat bermurah hati kerana memberi mereka tempat untuk bertanding. Tetapi adakah mungkin pengundi kaum lain kini menuntut terima kasih daripada UMNO kerana masyarakat Cina masih mengundi Barisan Nasional bagi membantu BN terus relevan.

Namun hari ini keadaan dikatakan semakin berubah. Undi kaum lain khususnya Cina sudah bertukar arah. Kaum Cina kini lebih memandang kepada pembangkang khususnya DAP. Ini bukan satu rahsia lagi. Kaum lain termasuk golongan Melayu Muda sudah mula mengkritik kepimpinan UMNO dan ini meninggalkan kesan yang amat negatif.

Mungkin benarkan UMNO sekarang liabiliti untuk Barisan Nasional? Kenapa ? Adakah UMNO sudah semakin kurang di terima oleh orang Melayu? Adakah UMNO dengan kepimpinan yang alah dengan kritikan menjarakkan sokongan orang Melayu kepada UMNO.

Isu UMNO semakin menjadi liabiliti amat serius. Ini akan menjadikan Parti yang memperjuangkan agenda Melayu terkubur. Apa mungkinkah kubur sudah di gali untuk UMNO kerana kepimpinan yang sudah uzur mentalnya masih lagi memimpin.

Mungkin benar UMNO adalah lesen untuk kejayaan perniagaan ALI BABA dan ini menjadi punca UMNO tidak konsisten dan kurang kepekaan terhadap nasib rakyat. Kalau begitu sakit UMNO adalah pada pengendali, peneraju dan kepimpinan UMNO sendiri. Apa pun kemungkinan, tidak hari ini, esok UMNO akan menjadi kurang relevan kerana langkah ortodoks mereka masih tebal khususnya dari kalangan pemimpin yang telah terlalu lama memimpin. Mungkin

Khairy di lindungi?

Satu kenyataan yang agak mengejutkan dari Khairy Jamaluddin :

Memang, katanya sebagai anak menantu kepada Perdana Menteri beliau mendapat "perlindungan". Memang ini secara tidak langsung menunjukkan bahawa beliau ada “kelebihan”. Beliau juga berkata dengan kedudukan itu, tidak ramai yang akan mencabarnya. Lebih lagi beliau mahu gunakan “perlindungan itu untuk memperbaiki UMNO”. Besar kenyataan beliau cuma yang mahu ditanya memperbaiki dan mengubah UMNO mengikut selera siapa? Mengikut cara dia atau cara ahli UMNO secara menyeluruh? Kita bincangkan ?
