Senarai Kabinet 2013 sudah pun diumumkan oleh Perdana Menteri Najib 5 petang tadi. Senarai Menteri – Menteri Kabinet menampakkan perlantikan beberapa muka baru termasuk Waythamoorthy Ponnusamy , pengasas Hindraf. Sememangnya perlantikan beliau adalah satu kejutan kepada ramai pihak termasuk saya. Ada blogger macai mengatakan perlantikan Waythamoorthy akan menjadi ancaman kepada MIC dan akan “membenamkan” parti tersebut.

Namun saya berpendapat lain. Perlantikan Waythamoorthy membolehkan pelan tindakan biru komuniti india yang digariskan oleh Hindraf boleh dikaji secara teliti dan diimplementasi tanpa sebarang masalah. Apa yang HINDRAF minta? Mereka meminta kualiti kehidupan masyarakat india harus dipertingkatkan. Maka dengan perlantikan Waythamoorthy, kini kelompok yang menyokong HINDRAF tidak lagi mempunyai alasan untuk menuduh Kerajaan Barisan Nasional bias. Mereka boleh duduk, berbincang dan menjana idea atau pelan yang mereka merasakan bagus untuk komuniti india.

Apakah MIC akan “dibenamkan” oleh HINDRAF?

Tidak. Saya rasa MIC tidak sedikit pun rasa terancam dengan perlantikan beliau. Kebenarannya selama ini hanya MIC yang kena tempias dan cemuhan orang ramai, kini ada satu lagi sahabat yang akan bersama menanggung cemuh tersebut. Hahaha. Kesahihannya MIC mempunyai 660,000 orang ahli di seluruh Malaysia, belum dicampurkan dengan angka daripada ahli Pemuda,Putera,Wanita dan Puteri MIC. Maka untuk “Execution” Blueprint tersebut  semestinya bantuan MIC diperlukan untuk menyalur atau menyampaikan implementasi pelan biru tersebut. Saya percaya PM tidak akan membuta tuli meluluskan sebarang pelan biru untuk masyarakat india tanpa pengetahuan MIC. Bahkan Majlis menandatangi memorandum MOU antara Hindraf dan Barisan Nasional berlaku atas persetujuan parti MIC.

Cuma pendominasikan MIC dalam kabinet untuk menyuarakan kehendak masyarakat india sudah berkurangan dan ini adalah amat bagus kerana saya berfikirkan selepas ini MIC dan Hindraf akan bersaing sesama sendiri untuk menjana pelan – pelan tindakan untuk masyarakat india di Malaysia. Yang akan menguntungkan ialah masyarakat india. Maka secara tidak langsung Perdana Menteri Malaysia, Dato Sri Najib Tun Abdul Razak juga akan dapat mendengar pandangan dan cadangan daripada pelbagai pihak.

Kepada blogger macai yang mengatakan MIC akan terbenam, cubalah fahamkan isu. Isu politik dan masalah sosial adalah dua benda berbeza.

Namun saya setuju dengan salah satu pendapat Blogger Macai tersebut, Dato SK Devamany sepatutnya diberikan senator dan dilantik sebagai Timbalan Menteri. Dato Sk Devamany memberi laluan kepada Presiden Parti MIC untuk bertanding ditempatnya dan Presiden juga telah menangi Kerusi itu, Maka sepatutnya jasa baik Dato SK Devamany seharusnya dibalas dengan mengangkat nama beliau kepada Perdana Menteri untuk diberikan jawatan. Jika kepimpinan tertinggi berbuat demikian, ini akan menjadikan 4 Kerusi Kabinet untuk MIC sahaja.

Tetapi tidak apa, Senarai Kabinet ini saya jangka untuk sementara waktu sahaja, kerana ia akan dirombak balik setelah kesemua Parti Komponen Barisan Nasional selesai mengadakan Mesyuarat Agung masing- masing dengan perlantikan ahli jawatankuasa baru. Kita tunggu dan lihat.

Kenyataan Media oleh T. Mohan Ketua Pergerakan Pemuda MIC Kebangsaan

News Date: 13 May 2013

KENYATAAN MEDIA BERHUBUNG DENGAN CADANGAN OLEH PRO-CANSELOR UiTM TAN SRI ABDUL RAHMAN ARSHAD SUPAYA PERSEKOLAHAN VERNAKULAR DIHAPUSKAN BAGI MENGUKUHKAN PERPADUAN DIANTARA KAUM

Saya merujuk kepada kenyataan yang telah dibuat oleh Tan Sri Abdul Rahman Arshad, Pro-Canselor UiTM supaya persekolahan vernakular dihapuskan bagi mengukuhkan lagi perpaduan antara kaum di negara.Kenyataan ini dibuat pada program “Post-Mortem PRU-13).

PergerakanPemuda MIC membantah kenyataan yang dikeluarkan oleh Tan Sri Abdul Rahman Arshad. Kami berpendapat bahawa trend pengundian pengundi bukan Melayu dalah tidak mempunyai hubungan langsung dengan perpaduan antara kaum ataupun jenis sekolah yang dihadiri.

Sekiranya BarisanNasional ingin mendapat undi dari pengundi bukan Melayu, maka perlu ada perubahan dalam polisi dan juga dasar yang diamalkan oleh kerajaan. Kerajaan perlulah peka kepada kehendak masyarakat bukan Melayu dalam perkara-perkara berikut:-

1) Peluang Pendidikan, Tawaran Biasiswa dan Pengambilan ke Matrikulasi;

2) PeluangPekerjaan di SektorAwamdan GLC;

3) Peluang mendapatkan kontrak dari sektor kerajaan dan GLC;

Pada PRU 13 ini, kita dapati bahawa walaupun sebahagian besar pengundi berbangsa Cina adalah mendapat pendidikan dari sekolah aliran Cina, namum begitu mereka telah mengundi dan memenangkan ramai calon dari PAS.
Pengundi-pengundi Melayu terutamanya di kawasan bandar juga didapati telah mengundi calon-calon bukan Melayu dari PKR dan DAP.
Ini jelas menunjukkan bahawa trend pengundian telah melepasi benteng perkauman dan juga kegamaan.

Walaupun DAP danjuga PAS didapati sering bertelagah berkenaan dengen perlaksanaan hukum Hudud, namun begitu ianya tidak memberi kesan kepada pengundi-pengundi bukan Melayu dari mengundi PAS.

Maka itu cadangan sesetengah pihak supaya sekolah vernakular hendaklah dihapuskan bagi mengukuhkan perpaduanan atara kaum bukan sahaja tidak tepat malah tidak seharusnya menjadi tajuk perbincangan malah semua pihak termasuk media perdana tidak seharusnya menggunakan isu perkauman dan juga perpaduan sebagai modal politik.

Kerajaan perlu memperkenalkan dasar dan polisi yang liberal dan berani sekiranya mahu menembusi pengundi-pengundi bukan Melayu dan juga pengundi-pengundi muda berketurunan Melayu di kawasan bandar.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE MALAYSIAN VOTER.

HEADING TOWARDS A CATASTROPHE?

Dear fellow Malaysian,
Peace.
I am writing this Open Letter because I am deeply concerned about two trends within the electorate which may have an adverse impact upon the future of our nation. The first is a trend associated with a segment of the Malay electorate, both rural and urban. The second is a trend associated with a segment of the non-Malay communities. If these two trends are enthroned through the 13th General Election on the 5th of May, 2013, it could be catastrophic for our people.

The Malay Electorate.

Some Malays, disillusioned with elite corruption and the widening gap between the have-a-lot and the have-a-little, regard a hudud-oriented Islamic State as the solution. They should ask themselves the following questions.
One, is there any such State in the contemporary world that serves as a model worthy of emulation? Saudi Arabia? Sudan? Afghanistan?
Two, why is it that the vast majority of Muslim states have not opted for a hudud oriented Administration?
Three, why have the people in the world’s largest Muslim country, namely Indonesia, rejected hudud oriented parties over and over again in elections?
Four, why has Turkey whose ruling party has an Islamic root, eschewed hudud and a fiqh oriented legal system in favour of a democratic, constitutional, secular system of governance?
Five, if the mainstay of the ruling coalition in Malaysia since 1957 was PAS and not UMNO, what would be the socio-economic situation of the Malays today? Would poverty have been reduced from 64% to 1.7%? Would there have been the phenomenal transformation of an entire people, sustained over two generations, which has resulted in a significant Malay role in education, the professions, commerce and industry, compared to what it was at the time of Merdeka? Would the Malays have emerged as an important component of the Malaysian middle-class which has undoubtedly helped to stabilise ethnic relations and politics in the country and allowed democracy to function?
One just has to look at PAS’s 22 year rule in Kelantan to get an idea of what its version of Islam can do to a people. From its dismal failure to provide jobs for tens of thousands of well-qualified Kelantanese to its utter inability to curb rising drug addiction, Kelantan is Malaysia’s first and only failed state. Malaysian voters should have no illusions about the type of Islamic State that PAS seeks.

The Non-Malay Electorate.

If some Malays are under an illusion about PAS’s Islam, a lot more non-Malays, especially many middle-class Chinese and some middle-class Indians are labouring under a huge misconception about what their vote would deliver. They are convinced that it would be able to “eliminate ethnic discrimination” and bring to an end alleged “Malay supremacy.” Since those who have been pedalling these cliches, have never really explained in detail what they mean by eliminating ethnic discrimination or Malay supremacy, non-Malays exposed to this rhetoric have drawn different conclusions.
For many, the perception is that the Pakatan Rakyat is going to set aside the Special Position of the Malays and the Bumiputras of Sabah and Sarawak. This cannot be done. The Articles in the Malaysian Constitution pertaining to places in the public services, licences, scholarships and land reserves (like some other Articles) cannot be amended or abrogated by Parliament even if the PR wins 100% of the seats. Special Position is safeguarded by the Conference of Malay Rulers.
Publicly, all three PR parties, including the DAP, have endorsed Special Position. However, at the hustings some of the DAP and PKR activists give the impression that it is discriminatory and is therefore unacceptable. This is why their leaders should be honest with their members and supporters. Tell the whole truth. Neither Special Position nor any of the other iron-clad Articles in the Constitution pertaining to citizenship, language and the Rulers will change one iota if PR comes to power.
Since PR cannot do anything about Special Position, what sort of discrimination is it going to eliminate? Will it abolish the NEP? In theory, the NEP does not exist anymore. It came to an end in 1990 though one of its twin objectives of restructuring society in order to reduce the identification of ethnicity with economic function continues in certain specific areas. Given the nature of this objective, it would be wrong to view it as ethnic discrimination. Rather it is an attempt to enhance national integration.
1Malaysia

Everything considered, the actual flaws with the NEP are related to its implementation — its excesses and its abuses. These should be rectified. In the last four years, Prime Minister Mohd Najib has made a concerted attempt to do so. Federal scholarships for students are based largely on academic merit; there is a serious endeavour to increase the number of Chinese and Indian public servants; and their mobility in the public services has improved through some high profile appointments. At the same time, all 1Malaysia ventures — from its retail trade outlets to its affordable housing programme — are non-ethnic. 1Malaysia in its concrete manifestation is an all- embracing, inclusive idea. Najib is also paying close attention to the needs of different ethnic and sub-ethnic communities and engaging them at the social and cultural level as part and parcel of his 1Malaysia drive.
There is a lucid message he is attempting to put across. There must be understanding and empathy among us, whatever our religious or cultural differences. We must respect one another.

Respecting one another means that we should never ever manipulate each other. This is what happened in the recent DAP symbol episode. Though there was no question at all about whether the DAP could use its own rocket symbol, in the high drama that the leadership staged it opted to use PAS’s symbol, rather than the PKR symbol on the Peninsula. Wouldn’t it have been more logical for the DAP to use PKR’s symbol since the DAP wants PKR leader Anwar Ibrahim, to be the Prime Minister if PR won the General Election? Why did it prefer the symbol of a party whose goal of a hudud oriented Islamic state it vehemently opposes? Is it because Pas has much more Malay support on the Peninsula than PKR and the DAP was hoping to capitalise on its support? Isn’t this rank opportunism? Isn’t this what the PAS-DAP-PKR grouping is all about? An opportunistic grouping hell-bent on power but opposed to each other. If an illusion on the one hand, and a misconception, on the other, makes the grouping a catastrophe, its opportunism renders it an even greater catastrophe.

THINK CAREFULLY! VOTE WISELY!!

With warm regards,
Chandra Muzaffar.
