MEDIA STATEMENT FROM
YB V.
SIVAKUMAR, TRONOH STATE ASSEMBLYMAN,
ON 07 NOVEMBER 2012
IT IS
SHAMEFUL FOR A CHAMBER’S CHAIRMAN TO SPEAK WITHOUT KNOWING FACTS!
Malaysian
Associated Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MAICCI) chairman Datuk Kenneth
Eswaran should be aware and know of what he is talking about and not blurt out
words to just please someone else by shadowing the facts. K. Eswaran is advised
to concentrate on his chambers work rather than involve in politics that I had
noted he has shallow knowledge about it. It is not wise for a man in his
position to criticize the opposition politicians without knowing the facts and
figures. Do not behave as a clown by taking an opportunity criticizing the
Opposition politicians.
In K.
Eswaran’s statement, he had condemned the Opposition as a ‘family party’. This
statement shows K. Eswarans’s ignorance in Malaysian politics. if he says PKR
and DAP top positions are held by family members, what has he got to comment to
these questions : who is Najib’s father? Who is Hishamuddin’s father?
Does
this MAICCI’s chairman knows that Mahathir is trying his level best to make his
son as MB of Kedah? How about Samy Velu’s son’s political base? Did he not
think that Ling Leong Sik had groomed his son in politics? How about the Ong
brothers? Aren’t all these people I had mentioned, families? I can add on to
the list if he needs more info. Do not embarrass by making foolish remarks
because as a chairman of a Chamber, K. Eswaran has to have a standard to
maintain.
It is
better for this MAICCI Chairman to concentrate 100% on his Chambers work and only
mind his own business. There are so many problems in MAICCI that I am also been
aware of that it is advised for the Chairman to solve that problems rather than
interfering in the politics, which is alien to him. I am sure the MAICCI
members will be happy if its Chairman does so.
The
Indian community in Malaysia is so much back ward in business. There are so
many poor Indians in Malaysia that K. Eswaran can help out.
K.
Eswaran commented on Hindraf supporting Pakatan Rakyat because of the recent
meet up session between Hindraf’s Chief and DSAI. He also told the Indians not
to be taken as a ride. Is K. Eswaran saying that Hindraf has taken the Indians for
a ride? Where was K. Eswaran when hundreds of thousands of Indians gathered in
KL on 25/11/2007? Did he come out to
support the Indians? I am sure, he did not. Shame on you! And you do not have
the right to talk about Hindraf! Most of the Indian MPs and SAs were there for
PR taking part on the struggle and still are fighting for Indians. If it was
not because of these struggles, we Indian would not have got even a peanut that
Najib and his government are giving now. This includes whatever allocation that
this chamber is getting now to win back Indian votes.
K.
Eswaran must not forget that whatever the Indians are getting now is not
because Najib is doing it full-heartedly. He’s doing it in the fear of losing.
He is kneeling sown to the Indian community simply because he has lost supports
from the Chinese and Malay communities.
So, K.
Eswaran please do not sell out the Indians in this country for your own bread
and butter.
Is K.
Eswaran panicked when he issued his statement? He said that if opposition
really wants to help the Indians, it should give more seats to the Indians in
the next GE. Is he throwing a challenge? He is making a joke out of himself!
Like I said earlier, K. Eswaran does not have politics knowledge. K. Eswaran,
did you not know the fact that Opposition’s Indians’ state seats were more than
BN-MIC seats? For example, 7 seats in Perak were contested by Opposition
Indians and BN-MIC contested only 4! As for Parliament seats in Perak,
Opposition Indians had contested 3 seats and BN-MIC had shaming 2-seats. The
scenario is nearly the same in almost all states. Furthermore in PR ruling
states there are more numbers of Indian Councilors were appointed compared to
BN-governances’ era.
In
addition, Perak was the first state in Malaysia to have appointed an Indian
Speaker during its PR ruling. Why did BN never do this before nor in it’s any
other ruling state as Johor? Another proud fact, PR had also appointed an
Indian First Deputy Chief Minister in Penang.
I am
indeed glad to feed K. Eswaran with some political facts. PR has a proven track
and we believe that action speaks better than words.
Is K.
Eswaran openly supporting Najib thinking that Najib would give him a seat to
contest in GE-13?
If
Najib’s 1Malaysia is true and has his support for Indians, can he give more
seats for Indians to contest in GE13 compared to GE12’s number?
