Lately, MIC president S Samy Vellu called for more Indian children. He told reporters after opening an MIC Kedah convention: "Many Indian couples do not have children. My advice to them is to have many children, or at least two children. However, the more the better. Otherwise, the percentage of Indians (in the population) will keep dropping".

This reminds me of an MCA leader who also once said: "I do not understand why the Chinese do not give birth to more children."

What is the matter with these leaders? Why do they want more Indian or Chinese children for? To continue keeping them in office?

Let me tell them why we do not want more children. Who will feed our non-bumiputera children? Who will support them through higher education? Who will find them places to study, no matter how many As they score?

Who will stop them from getting killed in the lockups? Who will defend them from being chased out of the country, particularly after what the Jerai MP said: "Malaysia in negara Islam, kalau tak suka, keluar".

Who will hide them from the sharp keris brandished by the leaders? And even if they become a political leader, who will stop their office from being stormed by 50 thugs?

I can't believe the MIC and MCA leaders are deliberately ignoring the fear of parents in having more children.
