(Refer Star metro 11/3/2010 at page M12).
The Indians are undoubtly 7,500% disproportionately represented at Simpang Renggam. The UMNO led Malaysian government has allocated RM 1 billion to the police force in the 2010 national budget (The Star and NST headlines 24/10/09) but UMNO has allocated only peanut funds of a few thousands of Ringgit Malaysia for skills training and literally zero funding for business loans and entrepreneur loans for these Indian youths, to keep them out of crime, punishment and prison.
Almost no Indian would want to indulge in the world of crime if they had been given the same equal opportunities and equal upward mobility opportunities given by UMNO to the Malay muslims. So giving out wayang kulit books by these MIC mandore will not solve the problem. But directing their tuan UMNO with equality and equal opportunities will do the job.
