Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim refuted claims he has neglected the Indian community since he took office. Highlighting various programmes designed to assist and support the Indian community, Anwar said it was unjust to criticise that he hasn’t done anything to address the plight of the community.

“The solution to the problems of the Indians is not only through the Malaysian Indian Transformation Unit (Mitra). We also have Tekun, in which we allocated RM30 million just for Indians (micro-entrepreneurs). “There is RM50 million just for Indian families under Amanah Ikhtiar Malaysia, which covers the repair of essential basic sanitary infrastructure in our Tamil schools. “If I didn’t do anything for the Indian community, you have the right to ’stab’ me,” he said today.

Hmmmmmmmm : If I were you you, I wouldn't shout too loud about the RM80 million aid to the Indians here. Even the Palestinians get more . It appears to me that our PMX seems to equate solutions to all problems in our country to money. He thinks everything can be solved with money.

When somebody complains, he throws some money there and when another person complains, he throws money there, etc. Instead of putting taxpayers and other revenues to good use, he uses it to placate people. All the NMs want is equality. When we do well, we should get the same reward as everybody else and if we commit crimes, we also expect to be punished the same way as everybody else in this country.

If we are B40, we should be helped the same way as all other B40s here. We don't want for special treatment. We just want equal treatment. Is that too much to ask?

GrayParrot9290 : Pmx : you forgot : 1. You berated an Indian student who brought up “ meritocracy “ to not only help Indian but all Rakyat. 2. You allocated Rm1 billion to Bumis during the last Bumi congress to help bumi business and you proudly say you gave 80 million to Indians. ?

Do the math. You were a racist last time and still is. Rakyat will or already rejected you 101%. Just ask Rafizi to do a survey especially on Indians sentiments / support for you and also see how Ph will suffer a humiliating defeat in KKB. Bye Bye Pmx

mk : The phrase "stab me" carries racial implications, revealing a great deal about your mindset. Many NMs have come to realize that you are merely an illusion, deceiving us for an extended period.

Your patronizing response to the impoverished Indian student was a turning point for many, metaphorically puncturing the hearts of the entire Indian community.

Anon2000 : What a hypocrite. Just look at what was allocated for the Indians in the last budget versus what was allocated for all Malay/Muslim activities. You give more to Jakim than to all the Indians. So stop your hypocrisy. You will never again get my vote.

Open minded 2281 : Yes MR PMX poor Indians who excel in studies cannot get University places because of racist policies. The Indians are not going to be conned by crumbs thrown to them or singing Tamil songs.

Dr Suresh Kumar : I wonder which smart alec Indian invited this color changing individual to grace the BR Ambedkar International Convention and Ambedkar’s 133rd birth anniversary celebration.

BR Ambedkar was a luminous social reformer, who fought for the down trodden Dalit class, the minorities after renouncing Hinduism, contrast this with our Hamas hero who is neglecting the minorities in this country after deceiving them for over quarter of a century with his fake REFORMASI clarion call to be the PM.

Vijay47 : “If I didn’t do anything for the Indian community, you have the right to ’stab’ me.” Wow! Where is that Sivaji line from, Anwar Ibrahim? “Pasamalar”, “Bhaaga Pirivinai” or “Veerapandiya Kattabomman”?

I hope you didn’t forget your MGR jig. Better still, a Vadivellu act – you are the spittin’ image of him! Tekun with its RM30 million and RM50 million under AIM. Wow again! Sorry, I forget, how much did you allocate for MARA and JAKIM? My calculator can manage only 9 digits.

apanama is back : RM50 billion for Malaysian Indians? Oops... maaf zahir batin. RM50 million. Wow! A lot of money compare to RM2 billion for Bumiputera Empowerment programme and Jakim's yearly almost RM2 billion budget. I learned Ilmu Hisab from national school.

We learn maths upside down! Another interesting point you raised Mr. PM. “If I solve all the problems in Malaysia, I don’t have to be the prime minister anymore. Give me some time.” Therefore, you are not solving all the problems so that you could be PM for long time? Maybe I misunderstood your statement.
