Mic Election Result : Which Good For The Community
MIC Election going to take place coming saturday. Among all election result, most awaited result will be MIC Election Result for MIC's Deputy president contested by 3 candidates. Each have their own characteristics, and campaign style.
Dato Palanivel
As a outsider of MIC, but as a Malaysian Indian , I want a leader who :
Hence my expectation of MIC Deputy President Election Result :
Reason i aspect Dato’ S. Sothinathan to win the election:
Dato Palanivel
- backup by Dato sammy.
- hoping the delegates vote for him base on Dato sammy's campaign.
- Luckiest candidate compare other two, campaign money...... you should know from which pocket.
- very few time i see him been talk in parliament or TV.
- a experienced candidate, experience on struggling with dato samy.
- can be said as veteran leader to.
- a politician who been feel all the dirty politics of his captain before.
- A quite man with bravery to voice for indian community
- A person who can talk about real changes, MIC leader from generation after dato sammy's generation.
As a outsider of MIC, but as a Malaysian Indian , I want a leader who :
- Always there when our rites challenged and misinterpreted.
- A clean politician, who focus on what he should do to the community, rather than spend time to hold his own seat by destroying other leaders.
- Create a good image for Malaysian Indian community
- A person who not misuse his power.
Hence my expectation of MIC Deputy President Election Result :
Reason i aspect Dato’ S. Sothinathan to win the election:- IF dato subra really wants changes happen, he can done it when he as deputy president of MIC and when in the cabinet . What he want, is revenge. Thats all. Political ego between dato sammy and dato subra. And he dragging Indian community's fate into it NOW.
- Dato Palanivel, he can done allot when he was Selangor MIC leader and MIC deputy president. And he lost his image, he become reflection voice of Dato sammy, shadow of Dato sammy's movement. Is there anyone still going to belief on him?
- Dato’ S. Sothinathan, a clean leader.Even in his campaign in this election he did not talk bad about any of his rivals. We been vitnest his bravery in voicing out indian community's fate in parliament. Is there in history any MIC leaders band from parliament to voice out Indian community's voice aspect Dato’ S. Sothinathan?
Cow Head in Shah Alam
Weird title, let it be. I don't want write one long paragraph about protest in shah alam regarding build temple issue. For most of you who reading this article, we might already know whats going on in shah alam, so lets do a good discussion rather than read same thing again and again. For those who don't know what we talking here, please go through this link first : 'Cow head' demo.
And the Video :

There comes another chance for our politicians to point the finger at each other. Barisan National leaders and Pakatan Rakyat leaders just waiting to mistakes happen and use the issue to bash their opponents.
While reading through some websites about this issue, i come across a PKR politician's blog stating this, who the politician, i don't want mention:
"All this points to dirty politics played by ruling UMNO heads, desperate to see the toppling of the opposition-led Selangor state government. This is shocking and absolutely despicable. I also strongly condemn the lack of action on the part of the police, who have subtly been accomplices to the act that is totally disrespectful of Hindus."

As i say before, this issue make use by a politician to condem BN. Never ending politicking by BN and PKR. Don't mistake me, I AM condemning PKR or BN leaders, frustrated with their politicking without even concerning about sensitive issues.
Lets be simple, lets be logic, lets think ways to solve this problem. Don't make it as another provoking racial issue. One simple idea from unknown blogger(me) on this section 23 shah alam issue :
As we all know, the new place allocated for the temple building surrounded by majority more than 90% are muslim friends. Base on the protest, it is clear they not happy with the upcoming new temple. Leads to cow head protest.
Why not, any Hindu society or Shah Alam base Indian representatives gather and request another location to build temple. By doing this, they building a good relationship and image with their neighboring Muslim friends and resolve this racial issue in very good manner. By doing this, don't think Shah Alam Hindus afraid of this protest. Actually Indians took very good effort to build harmony with other race Malaysian brothers and sisters. In malay we can say," berdasarkan semangat persaudaraaan satu bangsa Malaysia".
A big issue can be solved very easily, not like our over reacting politicians who just waiting to use racial issues to blame each other.

Indirect Racial Remarks : Still
Racial Remarks : i don't know how to explain it properly. A act of words to symbolist a race in some way, most of the time symbolist a race in bad way.
I am from Malaysia. A multicultural country, occupied by few different races. Malays are majority, and other faces like Chinese( 35% of population ) and Indians are minority. In this kind of environment, racial remarks are common. Some remarks known for joke and some others really hurts.
As a young Malaysian Indian, i been heart many racial remarks as i stated above. I also used some for fun, just to make jokes which does not hurt other race friends. Other race of friends sometimes use curtain terms, sentence or slangs. They thing, by doing that they actually manage to mingle-up with other race Malaysians. Sometimes yes, it accepted as a joke and create some friendship. BUT most of the time it hurts, really hurt your heard in silent.
Lately, using racial remark issue reduce dramatically among Malaysians. Yet indirectly or without they even realize Malaysian still hold or using it. If you a Malaysian, you only can notice it if you sensitive ENOUGH. Nowadays many indians does not look and sound like typical Indians. That is very good. I look like typical Indian due to my skin color. But im a true Malaysian for sure, that cannot be reflected physically rite. So this make people make some racial remark, or they just don't realize, or can be said they triggered to to use some words which irritate me as a INDIAN in origin.
Some of the experience i been encounter :
1) Few years back, when i enter degree level one. Im the only Malaysian Indian in class. All others are other race Malaysians plus foreigners. When we talk, one of the guy in the class, try to be funny by answering me while shaking his head and in Indian slang of english. I feel really irritated.
I straight ask him why he act such way, and he answered:" Indians like to shack their head while talk what". I answer back : " i talk just now, am i shaken my head ? the indian lecturer teach you standing infront there, is she shaking her head?". And than, time past by we talk normally.
Acts which bring to racial remark:
Indian are known for shake their head more compare to other race when talk, those days.
2) I on the way to interview. And im almost there, just not sure which building. I stop and ask a guy, i think he work in office near by. I ask : "Abang building ini kat mane?"/"Where is this building ?". And that guys answer : "Itu sana, ada pahamka tamy?"/"thats the building, did you understand tamby?". I asked him in proper Malay, why in earth that another race Malaysian answer in the Malay which Indians tend to use 50 years back. Is it a indirect racial remark ?
Acts which bring to racial remark:
First generation of Indians which came to Malaysia as migrants have poor communication skill in Malay language.
3) I and my friend(girl) is in fast food shop. In front of me, a Malaysian Chinese guy with girl beside him, place a order, after few second he change the order. And the cashier in the counter with smiling face change the order. My turn, i place the order, within few second i ask the cashier to change order. While changing the meal, while not facing me she said "Mengade gadela". Now how should i conclude this ? Am i too sensitive or im just be a victim of indirect racial remark?
Acts which bring to racial remark:
Some young indian guys like to rise the voice and create irrelevant situation when with group of friends.
4) A music shop newly open in shopping complex which i always go. I enter the shop, want ask for availability of any music class. I am the only customer at the shop at that moment. The shop worker does not ask me how should she can help me, or even say any wishes like "hai" or "welcome". And straight to the counter, and the person there just look at me. Than i ask about the class, and the person just answer what i asking. She did not treat me as potential customer. I on the way out of the shop. And saw other race Malaysian enter the same shop. Now the shop worker wish that person and the person at the counter, stand up. And walk and entertain the person even he just enter the shop to take a look at the new shop. Again, am i too sensitive ? Or my personality too bad? Or am i just be victim of indirect racial remark ?
Acts which bring to racial remark:
Basically buying power of Malaysian Indians are not that good compare to other races. FACT.
There are many other personal experiences, but this few enough to make as example and provide better understanding of what i trying to explain in this post/article.
Racial remark , still ??
