Even Najib Goodies Will Not Stop Samy in Political Oblivion

Monday, 04 February 2008 13:38

It was a final desperate eleventh hour effort by Samy Vellu & MIC to rally the grassroots leaders to stamp the receding tide of support for BN by the Indians after efforts using the youths failed miserably.

Well over 3700 chairman and elected reps were at short notice called to the Putra World Trade centre to attend this urgent 1-day convention in which the DPM Najib appealed to the Indians for the continued support to BN in return for the “goodies” which include some of the following 7-point demands submitted by Samy Vellu several months ago. Well, how will the grass roots be convinced when they don't want to know anymore with these bargaining tricks from BN and especially with the Hindraf 5 leaders suffering in Kamunting under ISA detention. This is GE 2008 post-Hindraf rally, no more Ijok. Even the release of the Hindraf 5 now would be of no use as the Indian Community is determined to use this GE 2008 to put Samy Vellu in political oblivion.

The 7 Urgent Demands from MIC:

1. ensure equitable participation in the share market;
2. greater Indian intake in public universities;
3. greater employment opportunities, especially in the public sector;
4. increase the number of government scholarships;
5. greater access to entrepreneurship training and micro-credit loans;
6. an effective urban poverty eradication programme; and.
7. the establishment of a dedicated mechanism to monitor and evaluate the delivery of public sector services in a just and fair manner.

Meanwhile over in Trengganu, PM Abdullah was offering new goodies in the form of an Ulu Trengganu Polytechnic assured the Indians that “requests could be met or were appropriate for consideration, it would approve them”

1. ensure equitable participation in the share market;

Questions
1. Why, at each MAIKA Hldgs meeting people who questioned the details of the account had always been thrown out or hit by chairs?
2. MIC was the biggest single party given Telekoms and Tenaga shares (based on membership percentage). Where are the shares now and if sold, what happen to the proceeds?

Samy must answer these two questions first.

It is not just that the Indians have walked away from MIC and BN. The point is without the Indians the BN formula of race representation is no more, just a sham. This is the biggest contribution of Hindraf, the beginning of the end of race politics. Meaning the end of umno and mca. An end of an era.

On the other side are non race based parties.

Jangan percaya dengan BN. Mereka ini cuma membuat janji. End of the day JANJI TINGGAL JANJI. Seperti sesama BN, janji lisan Tun kepada PAKLAH. Janji cuma tinggal janji. Semua rakyaat tidak harus percaya dengan apajua janji yang dibuat oleh BN.

What is given to MIC never reached the Indians and
somehow lost in the process.So funds chanelled to
MIC to aid Indians will fail and people don't trust
or believe MIC platform,the supremo leader of BN
at large.

Promises are theory only and the Indian's wanted is
pratical solutions.Do before you asked and the returns are there.

Why now beg the Indians as there is around 3 million illegal immigrants are made citizens
and now there can vote for the BN.

Indians are now in the lost world of Malaysia.
Why beg

Stand firm brader, don't let these Uneducated Monkeys with No Otak (UMNO monkeys ) feed you with some bananas and cheat you of your birth rights as Malaysian.

Najib, Deputy Primate of Malaysia (DPM) are making election promises. Once they get your vote, you become history.

Watch out ! Don't fall into the Semi value trap !!

Before the HINDRAF potest, Badawi asked Sami Veloo these questions;

Sami! Are your Indians getting equitable participation in the share market? Yes, everything okay!

What about greater Indian intake in public universities? They 're very happy YAB!

Did you tell them about greater employment opportunities, especially in the public sector? YAB, they said there too many to choose now.

Are they also aware of increase the number of government scholarships? Yes, they're very happy with BN's offer!

Get them to greater access to entrepreneurship training and micro-credit loans, says Badawi. Oh yes, they feel happy they can just walk right in to the bank and ask for these unsecured loans. Very happy YAB!

Did you also tell them we are pushing the effective urban poverty eradication programme? Already informed them YAB, very happy with us!

Also told them about the establishment of a dedicated mechanism to monitor and evaluate the delivery of public sector services in a just and fair manner? Yes, very happy and they feel it very fair YAB.

After the Hindraf protest, Badawi called Sami to his office. Sami, I guess they 're still very happy now?

No YAB! you got me wrong last time, I said my team is very happy not those who are protesting!

We can See now BN is doing the PRE Election Dressing all over the country!!! That show BN is very worry this time, as we can see few MCA YB have been anouncing they are "too old and want to give new blood a change" as excuse because they know, MCA is going to lost BIG Time.

As for Klang, current MP "Datin Paduka" Dr.Tan was doing a fine job but she was not a prefer because she is from Team B, so this C'hng "Taukey Pasir" (Batang Kali" is going to replace her if DAP Teng Chang Kim not contesting as MP for Klang, but if Teng going for MP than this "taukey pasir (Batang kali) will let Datin Paduka to defend her seat as everyone know no want stand a change again Mr Teng Chang Kim.heheheh........

I just wonder which MIC leader will go and meet the Indian grass roots and ask for their votes. They will be chased out as how Vickneswaran was chased out. All this is a show by Samy to the UMNO.

If the members of PAS, DAP and PKR are strong enough, many BN candidates are going to be rooted out this time. Indians will be making history again in Malaysia.

Samy, you are an idiot of the first order. You still did not get the message that Najib wants a "rebranded MIC". It means you have screwed up the Indians and confirmed by your former boss, TDM. So get lost as you will sure to lose if you stand in Sungai Siput. I was in Sungai Siput and even the MIC members have realised the marginalising of Indians are rock bottom.

Samy, just a reminder of Makkal Shakthi and you saw how many tuned up at the Batu Caves for Thaipusam. Even PM know it that you are weak leader. Over all you and your family have stolen from the poor and wondering how you can sleep. Your son have twsited the arms of Lotus to take over the theaters and rights of Indian movies under Pyramid by buying out at RM51M. Where did you get that money, huh? As for Indians, your downfall is also due to the stupid Indian movies, Don't try to live a fantacy life. Look at the statistics....78% of Indians have Astro. Look at our teenagers life style! What ever the the problems, most Indian fanatics must see movies and serials. I beleive Samy style of politics must be the same like Indian movies. Only you can change it to live a life in reality.

When I think of the grouses that I hear from my Indian friends, it is not that they want the government to do anything for them. They just want the government to get out of the way so they can compete and claim their rights.

Deep down, Indians, even the poor ones know that they can compete with the Malays if they were not handicapped by the NEP. So the truth is when the Indian want to get rid of Samy Vellu, they are talking about UMNO politics as well.

So the fact of the matter is that Indians know that UMNO cannot give them what they want. So realistically speaking what will they live with? The equivalent of the NEP for them? That is not realistic because the Chinese and KDM in East Malaysia would object. MCA/Gerakan might as well kiss their careers goodbye if they agree to it.

So critics who says this is the beginning of the end for NEP is correct because there is no formula that BN could come up with that would work. The only fair formula that is acceptable to all is the elimination of the NEP.

It is the beginning of the end and only a vision-less leader like Badawi don't see it.
