What is UMNO up to now with Thanenthiran ?
Games must be stopped and the reality faced.
History is filled with stories of betrayal of people’s movements for petty profit. We have one happening right under our noses. However even more significant is the story of the invisible hand behind this betrayal.
Thanenthiran even while in Hindraf was trying all his best to get an appointment for some political position right from after the elections till his final days with Hindraf. He failed. He tried to get nominated as the PR candidate for Bukit Selambau and failed there too. He dragged the whole Hindraf movement along in that petty direction in the mean time. The rest of the democratic and progressive elements within Hindraf were pulled along because he kept threatening to drop his mantle and run off, every time a meaningful return to the struggle against injustice was brought up.
