ON 25 NOVERMBER 2007 I WALKED ALONGSIDE THEM. TODAY IF NEEDS BE, I WILL DIE FOR THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE ANAK BANGSA MALAYSIA.

TODAY marks the 500th day since Hindraf leader P Uthayakumar was impounded in Kem Kamunting compound. It is the god-given duty that parents who bring children into this world take care of their children. On a similar scale, the organization that legitimized themselves to take care of the Indian community failed pathetically (and was thus punished on 8 March 2008). However when some group stood up for the Indians, the avowed leaders looked the other way when their people were physically brutalised on 25 November 2007.

In my post of Nov 24 2997: Tomorrow I will walk alongside my Indian brother and sisters, I declared that my participation in this walk has got nothing, absolutely nothing to do with claiming compensation from the British Queen. It has got nothing to do with Hindraf. It has got nothing to do with being against the incumbent government. But it has everything to do with the marginalised Indians, Malays, and Chinese, especially the destitute and abject poor.


I also declared on 9 December 2007: FOR THESE DISADVANTAGED LOT THAT THE MALAYSIAN GOVERNMENT HAS STIGMATISED, I WILL WALK AND POSSIBLY BE ARRESTED. BUT IT IS A SMALL THING THAT I CAN DO TO ALLEVIATE THE DARKNESS AND PRAYERFULLY HOPE THEY TOO CAN ENJOY THE MALAYSIAN SUN.




The day after the HINDRAF RALLY, 26 Nov. 2007 I ended my post thus:

YOU GASSED US,

YOU BATHED US IN CHEMICALLY-LACED JETS OF WATER,

YOU MAN-HANDLED AND ARRESTED OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
IF YOU WON YESTERDAY, JUST REMEMBER OUR DAY WILL COME, COME THE GENERAL ELECTIONS.


THAT WILL BE OUR DAY!


We had our day on 8 March 2008
But we only won a battle.
Winning the war, means CHANGE
To achieve change, sacrifices have to be made.
Are we willing to make those sacrifices?
If needs be I will sacrifice my life for this change!
Because I belong to this group of multi-ethnic, multi-religious Malaysians
who call ourselves
ANAK BANGSA MALAYSIA.

+++++

Tomorrow will be another wasted day (or is it?) until this Government totally abolish this black spec in the Malaysian soul. Until this is done, we will continue to remain on the wrong side of history, characteristically "shady" and leprous to the world.

Go HERE to read Uthayakumar's 500 days.

Reformation 1 Malaysia?

no, I see only Mahatirism.

look at the similarities.

Release 13 ISAs as a spin in his first week of office but before you can close your eyes, 3 new ones are sent in. what about the rest inside Kamunting now? Didnt Mahatir did the same spin?

what did the courts do? threw away the Constitution just to save his face in the Perak fiasco created by none other than Najib himself. Didnt Mahatir did the same thing by thumping the judiciary into submission?

The DARK DAYS are here again. I can only see the BLACK HAND covering the sky.

Hedeserved to be detained another 500 nights for being racist and label the Malaysian gov as ethnic cleansing! I will not support a racist like him. I will only support multiracial politic like PKR. Unless he apologise for the accusation of Malaysian gov esp Malay for being ethnic cleansing of Indian, I will not change my stand.

Anonymous@6.54pm,

Uthaya did not blame the Malays. He blamed the UMNO led BN government.

Since you support PKR, I am sure you know the difference between Malays and UMNO.

Labeling Withaya as a Racist is not good enough a reason to lay support of detaining him without trial. It is cruel to deny his freedom without proving that he is guilty of something.

If you are one of those who believed in denying Withaya's basic human right of being charged in a fair and open court before locking him up, yet condemning Israel for its inhumane treatment of the Palestinians then you are one big hypocrites that do not walk your own talk. For you refused to defends your own country man's fundamental human right while crying foul on some foreign country affair.

Brother Withaya, my heart goes for you. Thsi is a test of time. But believe me you are are always a winner. Your name will be written in the history of malaysia as man you changed the course politics in this country. Nov 25 will be always be remembered as the Awakening Day for all malaysias in general and in particular to the indians. I pray for your release, for your health and safety. May the Almighty bless you. The TRUE SPIRIT OF MAKKAL SAKTY WILL ALWAYS PREVAIL.

Dear All, Dont bother with that anonymous guy who said the Hindraf leader is a racist. Remeber there is a dept at Bukit Aman who works fulltime surfing the blogs to mess with our minds. They will never make all out pro BN statements so that we will classify them as pro BN supporters and dont bother about them. They will say they support Barisan Rakyat BUT they dont support this and that. So we will not dismiss them altogether. Just ignore these people they are not worth bothering with. Thet are writng comments just to mess up your mind. IGNORE THEM!
