I refer to the Malaysiakini report MIC may be shaken and stirred in Kapar.
For S Samy Vellu to claim that MIC has done much for the Indians to counter the Hindraf issue, I think we need not look further other than Kapar, Selangor which is a constituency held by an MIC representative.
There is an Indian orphanage in Kapar town (nearby the Chinese school-Soo Jin) which is providing shelter for some 30 young boys and girls, some orphaned and others abandoned or left there to be taken care of by the centre. The centre is occupying two single-storey terrace houses for which the rentals have been paid in advance by a charitable organisation. The caretakers are volunteers and the centre is kept going though donations by the public.
Neither Samy Vellu nor any of his MIC representatives are aware of their existence nor do they even care since none of them have ever been there even though this is their constituency. So what are the chances of these poor boys and girls leading a normal live and having a fair chance to compete equally in society?
Assuming it is twenty years later, is it wrong for these boys and girls to then raise the issue of being neglected by society if they are unable to get a better life? Will they be placed under the ISA or be condemned by MIC for misleading the public?
And for the menteri besar to claim that Selangor is as developed as Singapore, I think either he has never been to Singapore or he has never visited Kapar. The roads along Jalan Bukit Kapar and Jalan Iskandar are sinking and have never been improved over the years.
These roads are also very dusty and there is even an illegal dumpsite whereby open burning is carried out almost every evening. I remember the kampung folks have highlighted this to TV3 before but nothing much could be improved because the culprits are said to be well-connected someone in the municipal council.
