The Correct Approach to be Adopted by Hindraf 2.0
is to "Carry on the Struggle against Oppression"!


【Photo 1】After Sahabat Rakyat released Part 1 of Sahabat Rakyat's interview with Uthayakumar, the key leader of Hindraf Rally on 25 November 2007, we were informed that Uthayakumar, with the support from some Hindraf grassroots cadres, planned to organise a rally on 12 May 2pm at Brickfields (also known as Little India), Kuala Lumpur, a confluence of the Indian culture. The objective of the rally is to review the performance and governance of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government in conjunction with the 1st anniversary of PH rule, and to express the feelings and voices of the majority of the Indian poor. The rally was held at the fountain circle of Brickfields. A lot of cars passed by, it was pretty eye catching. 6 members of Sahabat Rakyat Working Committee, Nyam Kee Han, Choo Shinn Chei, Ang Pei Shan, Yong Siew Lee, Choo Shinn Chien and Tan Seng Hin (@Chen Xin), drove from Johor Bahru to Kuala Lumpur to attend this event to express our concern and support for Uthyakumar-led  Hindraf 2.0.

【Photo 2】Two days before we set off, we had prepared two banners. The banner with Malay slogan is longer, and the one with Chinese slogan is shorter. Before the rally began, we joined 2 wooden sticks that were brought to the venue up and down to prop up the Malay banner. The enthusiastic Indian compatriots volunteered to help out. We were glad with their enthusiasm.

【Photo 3】When we propped up the Malay and Chinese banners that read "Oppose the continuation of 'racial discrimination', dissatisfied with becoming 'lower-class citizens'!", that was welcomed and appreciated by Hindraf 2.0 cadres and the Indian passers-by. Uthayakumar, leader of Hindraf 2.0 was excited and complimented that our banner slogan highlighted the theme of the event. The man with a black bag in the photo above is Mahendran, the moderator of the rally.

【Photo 4】Before the rally began, Uthayakumar, the leader of Hindraf 2.0, came to see the placement of the two banners we brought. It turned out that he was going to put those two banners right behind the stage (shown in Photo 3 above) as the background of the stage, and combined them with several banners they prepared, only then the rally began at 2-ish. The first person to speak was another Uthaya Kumar, the Hindraf 2.0 cadre from Seremban (speaker in the centre of the picture above). The rally was chaired and speeches were delivered in Tamil. The purpose of our attendance was mainly to give Hindraf 2.0 our moral support and to express our aspiration to unite with the Indian ethnic community.

【Photo 5】The next speaker was Uthayakumar, the leader of Hindraf 2.0 (second from the left) to report PH report card after ruling for a year. The key message of the report card of PH and the slogan of the banners prepared by Hindraf 2.0 is: the racist and (Malay) hegemonic policies implemented by the ruling party (from Parti Perikatan/Barisan Nasional to PH) since independence have been oppressing the B75 Indian community. According to Uthayakumar, B75 is the low-income group which makes up 75% of the total Indian population in our country. Uthayakumar said that PH promised during the election campaign that it would eliminate all racial discrimination and protect the rights and interests of the Indian ethnic group. Now the PH government has been in power for one year, it is time to fulfil its promise. The Indian dilemmas and problems mentioned by him include statelessness (without identity cards), unequal business opportunities and educational opportunities and so on.

【Photo 6】Over a hundred of Indian masses participated in the rally. According to Basgaran, one of the person in charge of the rally, the original target attendees of the rally was merely 50 people (we gathered that Uthayakumar and his supporters originally just wanted to hold a round table meeting indoor but then decided to switch to a rally outdoor). Therefore, to the organiser, more than 100 attendees was indeed a big encouragement.


【Photo 7】Apart from Hindraf 2.0 cadres, there were 8 other speakers on the day of the rally. Those speakers were of different backgrounds, including from Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), other non-governmental organizations or individual democrats. The organiser encouraged the attendees to come to the stage to share their opinions – this approach is liberal and commendable. This shows that Uthayakumar and other leaders of Hindraf 2.0 are willing to listen to the voices and aspirations of the broad Indian masses, and then fight in accordance with the common voices and aspirations of the Indians and people of all ethnic communities. Only by doing so, Hindraf 2.0 leadership can gain the support of the Indians and the masses of all ethnic groups.



【Photo 8】The organiser also invited Sahabat Rakyat to speak. Nyam Kee Han (second from left), Presidium member of Sahabat Rakyat represented us to deliver a speech. Nyam's speech mainly indicated that the Chinese and Indian ethnic communities are victims of the Malay racist hegemonic rule. The struggle to free themselves from becoming a victim, regardless of the Chinese or the Indian community, can hardly succeed if it is done in isolation. Therefore, the Chinese and Indian communities must unite and join hand with other oppressed minorities to form a powerful force against Malay racist hegemonic rule, thereby changing our status of being oppressed, discriminated, and harmed. Let us not forget that these two ethnic groups add up to about 40% of the forces.


【Photo 9】Nyam then mentioned in his speech the story about Lim Lian Geok and the Chinese education in Malaysia, and gave Uthayakumar a book entitled "Lim Lian Geok: Soul of the Malaysian Chinese" written in English by Kua Kia Soong. Nyam said that this book records the uncompromising struggle carried out by Lim Lian Geok, the "Soul" of the Malaysian Chinese in fighting for the rights of survival and development of the Chinese education in Malaya before and after independence. For this, his citizenship was deprived by the ruling clique and yet to be reinstated till to date, 34 years after his departure. We hope that the leaders and cadres of Hindraf 2.0 would be able to understand the deeds and experiences of Lim Lian Geok's struggle for the survival and development of the Chinese education in our country, and thereby serve as a reference for their struggle for basic rights in the future. This should also then promote the mutual understanding and unity between the Indian and Chinese ethnic communities.

Nyam Kee Han added in the media interview after the rally that: Despite the fact that Malaysia has long achieved independence, many national policies such as new economic policies, matriculation and quota system are still unfair to non-Malays. He expressed his agreement with what pointed out by Hindraf earlier that the 'special position' of Malays set forth in Article 153 of the Federal Constitution is the core of the problem. The provision is intended to protect Malays by discriminating against other ethnic groups. Unreasonable and unfair provisions should be reviewed or even repealed.


【Photo 10】The rally ended at 4-ish in the afternoon. After the rally, several of our working committee members took a group photo with the cadres and supporters of Hindraf 2.0.


【Photo 11】After the rally, Uthayakumar and several cadres warmly invited us for a drink at a restaurant nearby. The picture above was taken together with Uthayakumar. From left to right: Sahabat Rakyat Working Committee members Choo Shinn Chien, Tan Seng Hin and Choo Shinn Chei, Sahabat Rakyat Pung Yee Yen, Hindraf 2.0 leader Uthayakumar; from front of the right row: Sahabat Rakyat Working Committee members Ang Pei Shan, Nyam Kee Han, Yong Siew Lee and the son of Nyam and Yong, Nyam Li Jun. Uthayakumar told us that today’s event has greatly motivated him and his team. They hope to hold a similar event every few months to continue voicing the problems of the Indian community and continue striving for the rights and interests of the Indian ethnic group. We told him that "carry on the struggle against oppression" is the correct approach for Hindraf 2.0. However, Hindraf 2.0 or the Indian ethnic group cannot do it alone. They must unite with other oppressed groups and fight together in order to be freed from the oppressed position.

[ 漫画新解 ]
新冠病毒疫情下的马来西亚
舔美精神患者的状态

年轻一辈人民之友有感而作


注:这“漫画新解”是反映一名自诩“智慧高人一等”而且“精于民主理论”的老姐又再突发奇想地运用她所学会的一丁点“颜色革命”理论和伎俩来征服人民之友队伍里的学弟学妹们的心理状态——她在10多年前曾在队伍里因时时表现自己是超群精英,事事都要别人服从她的意愿而人人“惊而远之”,她因此而被挤出队伍近10年之久。

她在三年前被一名年长工委推介,重新加入人民之友队伍。可是,就在今年年初她又再故态复萌,尤其是在3月以来,不断利用部落格的贴文,任意扭曲而胡说八道。起初,还以“不同意见者”的姿态出现,以博取一些不明就里的队友对她的同情和支持,后来,她发现了她的欺骗伎俩无法得逞之后,索性撤下了假面具,对人民之友一贯的“反对霸权主义、反对种族主义”的政治立场,发出歇斯底里的叫嚣,而暴露她设想人民之友“改旗易帜”的真面目!

尤其是在新冠病毒疫情(COVID-19)课题上,她公然猖狂跟人民之友的政治立场对着干,指责人民之友服务于中国文宣或大中华,是 “中国海外统治部”、“中华小红卫兵”等等等等。她甚至通过强硬粗暴手段擅自把我们的WhatsApp群组名称“Sahabat Rakyat Malaysia”改为“吐槽美国样衰俱乐部”这样的无耻行动也做得出来。她的这种种露骨的表现足以说明了她是一名赤裸裸的“反中仇华”份子。

其实,在我们年轻队友看来,这名嘲讽我们“浪费了20年青春”[人民之友成立至今近20年(2001-9-9迄今)]并想要“拯救我们年轻工委”的这位“徐大姐”,她的思想依然停留在20年前的上个世纪。她初始或许是不自觉接受了“西方民主”和“颜色革命”思想的培养,而如今却是自觉地为维护美国的全球霸权统治而与反对美国霸权支配全球的中国人民和全世界各国(包括马来西亚)人民为敌。她是那么狂妄自大,却是多么幼稚可笑啊!

她所说的“你们浪费了20年青春”正好送回给她和她的跟班,让他们把她的这句话吞到自己的肚子里去!

"公知"及其跟班的精神面貌

注:这“漫画新解”是与<人民之友>4月24日转贴的美国政客叫嚣“围剿中国”煽动颠覆各国民间和组织 >(原标题为<当心!爱国队伍里混进了这些奸细……>)这篇文章有关联的。这篇文章作者沈逸所说的“已被欧美政治认同洗脑的‘精神欧美人’”正是马来西亚“公知”及其跟班的精神面貌的另一种写照!

"舔美"狗狗的角色

编辑 / 来源:人民之友 / 网络图库

注:这“漫画新解”是与《察网》4月22日刊林爱玥专栏文章<公知与鲁迅之间 隔着整整一个中国 >这篇文章有关联的,这是由于这篇文章所述说的中国公知,很明显是跟这组漫画所描绘的马来西亚的“舔美”狗狗,有着孪生兄弟姐妹的亲密关系。

欲知其中详情,敬请点击、阅读上述文章内容,再理解、品味以下漫画的含义。这篇文章和漫画贴出后,引起激烈反响,有人竟然对号入座,暴跳如雷且发出恐吓,众多读者纷纷叫好且鼓励加油。编辑部特此接受一名网友建议:在显著的布告栏内贴出,方便网友搜索、浏览,以扩大宣传教育效果。谢谢关注!谢谢鼓励!
