This is exactly what the racist UMNO has been doing in the last 54 years by using their MIC Indian mandores. And today PKR/PR is emulating the very same politics in continuing to misrepresent the Indian poor a la MIC using their very own home grown V.P, MP Subang, etc.
PKR, DAP & PAS has in the four years of their rule of Kedah, Penang & Selangor they have somehow acquired this plastic politics ie the dishing out of plastic bag of rice, plastic bags of provisions, plastic hampers and plastic mock cheques, 90% of which seldom filter down.
So where is the change?
Why not permanent solutions to at least undo the 50 years of UMNO racism?
To the best of our knowledge PKR, DAP & PAS which controls 100% all licences has refused to grant even 1 “vadai” licence to 1 Indian poor in 1 Selangor, Penang or Kedah.
Why not at least 100 burger licence, 100 vadai licences & 100 kachang putih, 100 Food stalls. 100 flower stalls, 100 fruit stalls and 100 other petty trading licence like Indian cosmetics, jewelers etc licence for the Indian poor for a start?
And licences denied to all the estimated 4,000 Indian scrap metal dealers in these three PR ruled states. And projects and contracts by these 3 PR states governments and their local Councils to Indian contractors and developers.
Whereas in Selangor for instance only 3 out of 1,571 of the Yayasan Selangor scholarships were given to the Indian poor in 2009/2010. And the same for Yayasan Pulau Pinang & Kedah scholarships.
And the a la UMNO policies by PR in their 4 year rule is the litmus test of how PR is like UMNO going to continue segregating the Indian poor when they get to Putrajaya.
And do we see why PKR, DAP and PAS refuse to work with a non mandorist party like HRP to be the Indian poor check and balance and conscience of the Indian poor in Putrajaya.
Like UMNO PKR, DAP & PAS only want the Indian votes and want it for free of charge, without their critical problems.
To this effect PKR, DAP & PAS like UMNO play plastic politics. Beware!
