The problems with the Indian (mainly south Indian) communities in Malaysia is that they have an identity crisis which is age old at first base. By fielding an angry looking and sounding young woman at a public forum with the sole purpose of embarassing the PM and the Malays, they make no friends, receive no sympathy and fail before they can get off the ground.

To harp on the same old sentiments and grievances without showing how much progress they have themselves made over the years, out of their own efforts would not be a strong and impressive way to move forward. They can't and they don't. And Indians have made progress over the years.

There is unfortunately a mindset amongst the Hindraf types, of which this young woman who threw tthee question to DS Anwar and tried to embarass him is). They go around with a chip on their shoulders with a persecution complex hoping that this alone will win them hand outs without effort which is what they are doing.

What Indians do not recognize is that their destinies is in their own hands. Not in the hands of the MIC or Hindraf. The old Indian mindset of what an MP is, remains deeply etched in their minds. "We vote a member or members into parliamnent along racial lines, and they must give us hand outs if they win". Thats becausse their members promise them the moon and sixpence at election time and deliver nothing, not even sixpense after that.

Indians will continue to defeat themselves because it is deeply ingrained in their mindset to vote and support their representatives on racial, caste and language lines. They don't engage with Malays. They don't engage properly with the Chinese. They end up with the same tired old patterns of voting on the same basis then blame the government when they fail.

What many "Indians" (Malaysians of Indian heritage) don't realize is that on a per capita basis they have done better than the Malays as a whole.). They must represent themselves by being marketable in the first place. End the gangster intimidatory tactics. Adopt a more Malay centric, Malay friendly position and not be antagonistic towards Malays. The Malays are not antagonistic towards them. The Malays are not going away anytime soon. With the Malays lies the seat of power.

Malaysia's Indians must learn to negotiate. But for that they must first be in a position of strength. A little soul searching is necessary. Why is it they fail and fall back all the time? What is it that their leaders and community is doing wrong that puts them in the position they perceive themselves to be in?

Even in South Africa during the Apartheid era with all of the restrictions, obstacles and biases on the basis of race and colour, the Indian communities prospered above many whites. What did they do that was right that Indians in Malaysia are not doing?

Complaining alone without self help is no cure to any problem. Vote for someone whos not Indian. Get involved in their politics and meld into their causes and become one with them in their constituencies. Then the differences become very marginal.

The Indians were thrown out of Africa in the 70s, the Africans don't like them. Britain absorbed them but the Brits don't like them either... Not too long ago there was even the fashion/sport(?) of bashing Indians in Australia.

Me? I'm ok with the (southern) Indians in the PSM. Embarrassing Anwar is fine by me, who does the wretched toerag think he is? Apart from Gandhi, Mandela, Rizal, God's gift, he thinks he's God the Daddy, God the Sonny boy, God the Allah, and God the Holy Hantu?! Spare me!

Anwar likes to dish it out always thinking he's Rubber plantation cool. But he acts a freaking fragile flower when he can't take it. Freaking out over a schoolgirl asking a question without proscribed(?) "etiquette" (what the holy bollocks is that?) , so it's a holy resounding Pah from me! And a holy Ptuuii from me too!

Was Holy Anwar trying to outdo Ayatollah Hadi by being more holy in the treatment of women?

There are Indian representatives within Pakatan Harapan to attend to the Indian community. In the past there have been political parties solely representing the Indians, but the Indian lot did not improve.

In selangor, PN fielded indians in 10% of the constituencies, proportionate to their population in the state. These include in state constituencies of rawang, banting, subang jaya, sentosa, pandamaran and bkt gasing.

In most areas where indian votes make the difference, mic send their machinery to support PN.

Focus areas are also in btg kali, bkt melawati, pelabuhan klang, paya jaras, taman medan, kuang and a bit in kota damansara.

Most 'rayu undi' will also be focussed on the MUDA voters in areas of sg kandis, seri setia, seri serdang, bkt antarabangsa and taman templer. MUDA is against PH.

PN will be sending key leaders to chinese community focussing on group ceramah and campaign in winnable area that need some chinese votes.

If this is done right, PN may win up to 35 seats given that they are quite comfortable in 28 seats with 6 days left to campaign.

Isn't Anwar himself an "estet" type? An Indian of the Tamil flavour?

No racist here, my brother always insisted lawyers he met came from his plantations.

Perhaps the Indians need to look into themselves and engage in a little introspection and ask where the problem lies. If they dare.

Why wouldn't they "dare"?

All Malaysians should look into and at themselves. Frankly, what kind of moron retards would forever choose between garbage politicians and garbage politicians each and every election?

Such amazing behaviour and genius have gone on forever, when would it finally stop?

Indians need to do a lot of introspection- a minority, split along ethnic lines, is the main weakness.

Seriously the Chinese and Malays are no better. They are just better at being more racist while totally oblivious to the glaring truth they are no better than the next bunch of glorified cro-magnons.

Numbskulled ignorant condescending hypocrites would be an apt or maybe ape description of such superior species.
