NOW ARE INDIANS POOR or they wished to remain poor!
Indians in Malaysia is different in social distribution in comparison to Indians in India. In India, they are geographically segregated yet they live as Indians (this may or may not be true, but the large population is united by means of sports i.e – Cricket ); whereas in Malaysia; We have people for the Tamil speaking community, the Telegu speaking community, the Malayalam speaking community and then we have the Punjabi’s, the Bengalli’s, theSri Lankan’s, the Sikh’s and a few others and yet we are all Malaysians but different Malaysians; together but not altogether, I am I and You are You, We are We and They are They…that’s what we are all about; divided with absolute diversity; divided by social beliefs, economic classes, political beliefs, marginalization and other factors.
Indians of all age group is faced with Social, Economical and Political Frame uncertainties.
They are poor in terms of health, wealth and leadership. A large group of them are suffering from diabetes, chronic heart problems, liver problems and kidney related problems cancer and other due to factors induce by lifestyle. I believe that not many of them are involved or related with STD due to their rich cultural heritage which is gradually eroding. The problems with Indians in Malaysia (The term Indians as of Indians in Malaysia is widely referred to the Poor Indian Malaysians – who are poor economically – wealth; culturally, socially and poor physically –health) is not an origin due to differentiated Income pattern: it’s a Social problem among Indians in Malaysia therefore high income earners and low income earners is not a point of measurement as per my view.
The problems with Indians in Malaysia is not due to diversity in Indian language like Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, or any other languages, but the problems among Indians is mainly due to poor social, cultural and academic cultivation among parents. Example: about 30 years ago, a standard four Indian student may know who is Abraham Lincon, Alexender the Great, Marco Polo, Parameswara etc but today; if you were to ask any of the current year 2008 Indian students in standard four – who these guys are – the definite answer is “don’t know”; comparatively asked them who is Nayantara, Ajit, Rajinikanth etc – they will know. Now – what is the problem here; where have parents gone wrong, where has the society gone wrong, where have our leaders gone wrong or are all plain ignorant.
Are we Indians Poor in wealth that we are unable to fund our Tamil schools’?
Now that the Thaipusam, let us look at some scenarios on what happens during a one day festival
As usual millions of coconuts will be smashed on the roadside, let us dwell into the matter. One family might smash 108 coconuts and another family may smash 1008 coconuts. Assuming 250 individuals smashing 108 and another 250 individuals smashing 1008 coconuts; the total smashed coconuts will be 279000. In actual fact the 500 individuals may need only to break only 500 coconuts, the variance will be 278500, and if each coconut is priced at RM1.50, the total loss is about RM 417,750. If we were to multiply the scenario to 20 temples throughout Malaysia, where the celebration is grand in scale – the total loss RM 8.355 Million.

But if Indians construct temples on public or at any roadside without a grant, that is obviously not right.
If Indian youths have more reason to consume alcohol in abundance per night and their religion says ok, who are we to say it is wrong... BUT if they get drunk and disturb the public or destroy public properties, then legal action must be taken against them.
If there are Indians who are purposely being neglected and they becomes poor, this is the fault of the MP and also the government of the day.
