‘Help students, or we’ll torch 1M’sia logo’
(FMT) KUALA LUMPUR: The Human Rights Party (HRP) has warned that it will torch a 1Malaysia logo if the government does not respond to its demand to help the Indian students who scored top marks in the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia examination.
HRP believes this is a case of racial discrimination.
Speaking to reporters at the party headquarters here today, HRP coordinatior W Sambulingam said the government has yet to respond.
He said they will wait until June 4 when the results will be announced regarding the students’ application for government-loans and to be included in tertiary courses.
‘Expect a large crowd’
“If there is still no feedback after June 4, we will challenge the government to prove that all those who obtained (university) places are better than these students.
“These students cannot afford to study in private instititutions, let alone foreign universities,” he added.
Sambulingam warned if there is no favourable response, they will stage a peaceful gathering outside the Parliament House on June 15 and submit a memorandum to Najib and Higher Education Minister Khaled Nordin.
He said they will also torch a 1Malaysia logo to “expose the truth” that the prime minister is wasting taxpayers’ money in promoting the all-inclusive concept.
