Makkal Sakthi saviour, not threat
ADS

It seems that many think the Indians supporting PKR are doing the right thing.

What does the PKR and all opposition parties want? A submissive Indian party and community like they have been all these years ? Is it not their right to take care of themselves and wherever possible do what is right for them and not for the people who use them for their own dubious reasons?

The Indians are beginning to wise up, and as in the practice of democracy, start their own parties and seek support for the betterment of their people. It's bread and butter issues that they want. They can't live on a revolution, a so-called Reformasi.

(Hindraf chief) P Waythamoorthy seems to think he has the exclusive right to be called and considered an Indian, and an activist at that. The use of terms and chants is not his exclusive right, but the rights of all Indians, or even Chinese and other races. Makkal Sakthi is people's power, and it's not an exclusive slogan to any Indian grouping, but to all Indians.

If he was such a great freedom fighter, why not come back to Malaysia, and stop shouting from the treetops. The government has released his fellow Hindraf colleagues. The Indians need help and good leadership, not MIC nor the likes of Samy Vellu. The daring groups who formed the Makkal Sakthi party have the desire to see the Indians get something, as the BN has shown that they now want to do something for them. What has PKR done for them ?

A multi-racial policy is fine, but only when all are treated fairly. Has any Indian been given a chance to run? All we see is that PKR and PAS share everything.

To all Indians, it's time you wise up, and start looking after yourselves. Stop fighting among yourselves and in the process allow the Indians to be used as pawns.

It has gone on too long, and to the Malaysian Makkal Sakthi Party, I salute you, you are different and smart, you seize the opportunity, and that's what all Indians must do.
