In fact in a muslim majority country, it is incumbent upon the muslim majority to protect and never to nyaya especially the Indian poor as what is happening on a widespread basis and with impunity in Prime Minister Najib Razak’s One Malay-sia.Because after kiamat and after we gather at Padang Masyar,we are answerable to Allah swa on why we caused this level of injustice and misery to the Indian poor.In the eyes of Allah there is no need to discriminate especially the Indian poor non muslim.”To you,your religion and to me my religion” and “There is no compulsion to convert to Islam as the true path is clear from otherwise” Surah Al Baqarah(Sapi betina) Chapter 2 Verse 256.

While millions of Malaysian Malay muslims today take a week long deserved break to  celebrate Hari Raya with their relatives and friends,tens of thousands of the Indian poor are forced to go to work out of the necessity as they are forced to live from hand to mouthThis state of affairs has come about not because they are lazy or refuse to work hard but because of the racist and facist UMNO Malay-sian government policies in denying them equality and equal opportunities.

The tip of the iceberg example is this morning Saraswathy(63), an unskilled cleaner from Pantai Dalam,K.L.whose eyes are even failing because of diabetes like every other six day week had to get up at 5.30 am to go to work to earn her mere RM 25.00 per day wages for 8 hours of exploitative labour in prosperous bi racial One Malay-sia, the country with the world’s tallest Twin Towers, while most of us still coil up in our cushy and comfy beds.Under the racist,religious supremacist and facist UMNO regime she is denied even a cleaning contract with the view to be self employed despite 43 years working as a cleaner.Where is her upward mobility opportunities?You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to become a small time cleaning self employed Malaysian. UMNO intends Saras and tens of thousands of other Indian poor to actually work till their dying day and that too to die as a cleaner and on the other menial jobs.Because they have no retirement village to go back to as the Indian villages have all been socially ethnically cleansed by UMNO,no UMNO welfare help,no Baitlulmal,no Lembaga Urus Zakat or Tabung Haji to care for them even in their old age.This cannot be the holy Islamic teachings especially in the holy Ramadan month let alone being the will of Allah swa.

This will never happen to a malay muslim in bi racial One Malay-sia.A civil society what more in a muslim majority country like Malaysia  is not based on it’s sky scrappers but on the quality of life of it’s lowest paid workers like Saras and tens of thousands of other Indian poor whose daily life is so predictable and not very much different from animals,so to speak.
The true Islamic teachings prohibit racism,religious extremism and facism as is practiced by UMNO and targetted against the soft target and vulnerable Indian poor.
May this Hari Raya bring wisdom in Prime Minister Najib Razak and Opposition political leaders Anwar Ibrahim and Hadi Awang and Lim Kit Siang and the top leadership of UMNO,PKR,PAS and DAP who are the policy makers and decision makers in putting an end to the misery suffered by the Indian poor on a day to day basis especially as is reported in www.humanrightspartymalaysia.com. And finally shed Malaysia’s image as the world’s most racist, facist and religious supremacist country.
