PM has solved many Indian-community issues – MIC veep

MIC vice-president Datuk S Subramaniam said today that the government, through the Prime Minister has been able to solve various issues involving the Indian community including some longstanding social, economical and educational ones.

He said that it was his intervention as the chairman of the Cabinet Committee on Indian Affairs and directive which led to many urgent resolution of these issues.

Subramaniam said "We (MIC) raised several issues for approval and many of them received the nod from the prime minister. On the redevelopment of Tamil schools, Najib had approved, in principle, an extra allocation in view of the increased cost incurred in the redevelopment work. The prime minister had directed the relevant ministries to discuss with the Economic Planning Unit ways to overcome the extra RM65mil cost over the RM100mil allocated for the purpose. Najib had also asked the Higher Education Ministry to consider recognising other existing pre-university courses to allow more Indians, especially, to enter public universities.”

He added that “The target of 7.4 percent intake of Indians into the civil service would be expedited and more employment and promotional opportunities would be created for Indians in government-linked companies (GLCs). There were now only seven Indians in the 130 GLCs and the MIC had requested that at least two Indians be appointed to the board of each GLC. Temporary teachers in Tamil schools had been allocated a minimum of 300 seats for courses during the holidays this year while more loans and business opportunities would be allocated to the Indian community”

Bloody BULLSHIT THE PM has solved Indian issues because of representations by the MIC. You blood sucking liars of the MIC you have cheated the Indian community wholesale - they are now divided into so many groupings with headfs of each vying to actually have a bite of the cake for themselves.

How dare you talk of Indian issues being settled now - its only talk lah bodoh nothing concrete has happened positive whilst negative episodes are on the increase - get out MIC "Malaysian Indian Cheaters" - Dr. M is perfectly right Samy Voloo is a liability to the BN because the grassroot Indians have all lost confidence in the MIC whose leaders are now busy cleaning up whatever is left of the 100Mln investment in Maika. The poor indians have no choice but to fend for themselves.
