Three generations of a poor and marginalized Indian family have been denied statehood,for the only reason that the grandmother did not want to convert to Islam

“The Malays in this country don’t have this problem, the Chinese in this country don’t have this problem. The Indians in this country have this problem.”

Many in the cyberspace accuse HRP and Hindraf of sectarianism, of communlaism or racism. Is representing a uniquely Indian problem like this sectarianism, communalism or racism? Watch the attached video and decide for yourself.

That apart, the Malaysian UMNO government needs to accept that it has made serious mistakes in the past through the ethnocentrism of their Ketuanan Melayu philosophy and make due amends to the many spurious outcomes of their policies, if this country is ever to make any claims to greatness as the nationalists are wont to.

A department needs to be set up to address this chronic and serious problem. We understand there are at least 100,000 people if not more affected thus( there are no statistics clearly available, as the UMNO government does not want this problem to be estimated with any accuracy). The department needs to be adequately resourced with funding and competent manpower to carry out not only corrective action but rehabilitative actions. This problem must not continue to be projected as a narrow  ethnic problem. This is a national problem and must be addressed squarely  The UMNO government must pick up adequate courage  (yes it requires courage)to take the necessary actions to correct this problem and set the clock back on the problem.

HRP demands that UMNO government sets in motion all that is required to address this problem effectively without further delay. The UMNO government has known of this problem for far too long.
