HINDRAF WARNS UMNO GOVERNMENT ON THE INTERLOK ISSUE

30621-waytha-fights-back-e1268911306947
The racist UMNO led government is causing great alarm and concern over its never ending agenda to create further disunity between the races in Malaysia with their sanction of the fictional and racially slanted Interlok novel as compulsory study material for Form Five students. The Novel will not create unity and understanding among multi racial students. On the contrary it will plant seeds of hatred, contempt, mistrust, ill will and hostility amongst student population in secondary schools. No rational Government would sanction a novel for study in schools, which contains demeaning and degrading elements about certain sections of its own society.

Interlok Bt Caves (2)

Malaysian Indians have been voicing their clear disapproval over this novel yet all the UMNO government will do is to dialogue endlessly with their mandores. This is a typical delay tactic of UMNO. In the interim, students in Form 5 are compelled to read and study this racially tainted book and UMNO ultimately hopes to sweep the issue under the carpet and yet again proceed with their agenda.

Curriculum philosophy should be one that contributes to the holistic development of the individual (mental, emotional, physical and spiritual) by imparting knowledge and skills, fostering healthy attitudes and instilling accepted moral values. This fictitious and seditious Interlok novel on the other hand will contribute to producing bigoted atti! tudes in our young.

HINDRAF warns the UMNO led Government against inciting and planting this most undesirable attitude amongst students and urges the Cabinet, which is sitting on Wednesday the 26th January 2011 to immediately withdraw the controversial Novel from the form 5 curriculum.

HINDRAF will not hesitate to file a Peoples Civil Action with at least 1000 Plaintiffs to take the Government to Court to seek a declaration that it is implanting yet more seeds of hatred amongst students and seek the withdrawal of the book from the form 5 syllabuses.

HINDRAF is equally disappointed with the de-facto leader of PR, Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim for openly saying the Novel does not contain any racial elements. http://www.bernama.com.my/bernama/v5/newsgeneral.php?id=555776 and with the other PR leaders for remaining completely silent on this very important issues of our multiracial nation.

If the Cabinet decides not to withdraw this book, then HINDRAF has planned a campaign to mobilise thousands of our supporters both local and International to force the issue.

Revisit - Batu Caves (25 November 2007), Pre-Dawn Brutality by Malaysian Government, Temple Head & Police at Batu Caves

Image
Of all the scenes that captured the police brutality againts peaceful protesters at the Hindraf rally last Sunday at Kuala Lumpur - the one that stays etched in my mind and evokes the most anger is this scene that played out before dawn at the Batu Caves Sri Subramaniar temple which was informed by Temple head to Police. At 4am, the Sunday morning of the Hindraf rally, police had arrested Indians sleeping inside the Batu Caves temple. Jeff Ooi of Screenshots has the story of what took place at Batu Caves that pre-dawn morning on his website all captured in a series of 23 photographs that tell its own story. I have reproduced thumbnail versions of some below: Not content with setting up roadblock to prevent any Indian motorist from entering Kuala Lumpur city centre the the day before the Hindraf rally [can anyone say - racial profiling?], the police and FRU descended on Batu Caves early Sunday morning to...

Let's learn about Melayu/ Mari belajar sejarah asal usul Melayu dan kedatangan ugama Islam disini.

Who says that it is arbitrarily wrong to state the Melayu are stupid? How many people even know who is a Melayu, and who is not? Do Malaysians even know the difference? Well, take a walk with me, and see how you fare on this educational journey. The next time you meet someone who claims to be a Melayu, ask him, or her if he/she is a Melayu Deli or Melayu Riau. Thats the first question the individual needs to answer. A Javanese is definitely NOT a Melayu. He is a Javanese. The same applies to a Batak, Achehnese, Bugis, Sundanese, Sumba, Florence, Balinese, and so on. BTW, the Bataks are further subdivided into Karonese, Toba, PakPak, and so on. And NONE see eye to eye, and have much heated debates on which group is more Pure. I guess that they forgot that the concept of Thoroughbreds is directly propagating the concept of in-breeding. Somewhere, somehow, people just forgot this. You see, in Indonesia, there are more than 164 sukus, and Melayu is but one of them. Why is it s...

Indian teacher introduces kabaddi to US classroom

HOUSTON: An Indian school teacher has brought his country's culture into the classrooms of American students by introducing kabaddi. Ajay Kumar Nair, who teaches English language and literature, has come to Johnsburg , a town with a population of 2,450 in the mountains of the Adirondacks, on a six-month-long Fullbright Teacher Exchange grant programme. In his class, the students, a mix of sophomores, juniors and seniors at Johnsburg Central School, remove their shoes, watch their instructor and try to grab the rules of kabaddi, a popular team sport in India. Students were advised to play barefoot to gain better traction on the gym floor. Since September, the students have also taken an elective on Indian culture, which has introduced them to literature , music, dance, food and games of the country. This is Nair's first visit to the US. He has been introduced to Italian food, football and snow. While Nair said his experience in Johnsburg has been positive, the hardest a...
