今年是513事件50周年,我国民间再次出现“解密513文件”的呼声。公正党主席安华16日晚在雪州万宜出席活动后,接受记者访问时,回避记者所提(希盟政府)应否解密文件的问题,他把问题推给历史学者来回答。

513事件今年走入第50周年,民间再呼吁政府解密513文件。惟首相马哈迪仅称“政府会探讨”;而安华则回避问题。
历史研究者强调,历史资料和档案是历史研究的重要基础,若国家继续封锁资料,则513事件的历史研究及论述将难以出现新发展。
本土学者曾维龙、廖文辉有话说
拉曼大学中华研究员助理教授曾维龙(下图)接受《当今大马》访问时表示,国家档案的管理权力落在政治人物手中,解铃还须系铃人,政府不应将问题和责任推到学者身上。
“……政治人物可能把这(513事件相关档案)当成一个潘多拉的盒子,但对学者来说,这是一个必须要经过的过程。”
“政治人物应勇于面对历史的问题,用比较开放和前进的心态去处理历史上问题。转型正义很关键的程序,就是处理过去遗留的问题,以奠定社会共识,再往前进。”
曾维龙除了研究马华文学,也在马来西亚本土研究和口述历史耕耘多年。
不解密则本土历史研究将受局限
曾维龙指出,历史研究必须建立在实证的基础上,解密官方档案将有助于让学者重构过去,才能还原和重建历史现场。
他指出,马来西亚官方继续封锁513事件相关档案,本土历史研究将受到局限,难以出现新的历史观点;只有少数学者如柯嘉逊博士透过英国档案局资料,建构不同观点。
“我们做历史研究或本土研究的基本要求,首先必须建立在实证的基础之上。目前为止,我们唯有去到英国的档案局,才能掌握这些档案。
“如果没有新的档案能够调取和查阅,学者不可能再出现新的历史观点。”
必须建立历史共识才能往前迈进
曾维龙补充,虽然安华宣称应该放眼未来,但人民也必须在历史问题上建立共识,才能真正放下历史包袱往前迈进。
“安华说要放下过去、放眼未来。这讲起来是很理想,但是现实是,我们现在身处的体制就是过去遗留下来的东西呀,包括固打制。”
另一方面,历史学者廖文辉(下图)接受《当今大马》访问时也直言,“安华都说我们要向前看。但是当我们要向前看的时候,我们很难跨步向前,因为很多历史的事还不知道发生的情况,都还不透明。我们很难放开心胸,跨步向前。”
“历史研究最重要的元素就是资料。我们有多少分史料,就说多少分话;没有史料,就不说话。这是研究历史最根本的原则。”
“如果所有资料被封锁的情况下,学者很难准确地做出判断。就像法官判案也是如此,他必须有充足的证据。证据不足的情况下做出的推断未必准确,且常常会出现问题。”
当下学者根据零碎的资料来论述
廖文辉目前是新纪元学院马来西亚历史研究中心主任,著有《马来西亚史》一书。
他受访时说,513事件的历史涉及层面广泛,包括当时的社会局势、政治角力、族群关系等等,若官方资料不开放,则学者只能凭着民间说法或片段零碎的资料,拼凑历史。
“如果国家没有把最核心的材料开放,那我们学者也只能根据民间说法,或是事后推断的说道和片段零碎的资料来论述。”
廖文辉认为,倘若官方资料解密后,学者可以自由地查阅资料,历史学界可能顿时出现多种不同的论述。“经过整合与讨论后,最终会出现少数几个主流和关键的看法。”
他接着解释,当官方资料公开后,如果证据充足且明确,则无可争辩;若存有模棱两可的模糊地带,则可能出现几派不同的历史观点。
学者也应当谨慎对待"官方的资料"
惟他同时也提醒,官方资料其实也并非全然客观,且可能带有“官方的立场”。因此,当官方历史档案重见天日后,学者使用这些资料时也应当意识到这一点。
“历史学家都应该很清楚,即便在使用官方资料,我们都很清楚这是官方的资料,他可能代表的是官方的立场,它不一定是公正或客观的,而处理这些材料是也必须考虑这种种因素。”
“当时搜集和整理这些资料的人,可能也有他的局限和筛选过程,丢掉了很多东西。”
无论如何,他认为,既然513事件已经过了半世纪,且马来西亚已经历和平的政权轮替,加上年轻一辈以不再如老一辈害怕谈论513事件,此时已是公开这些官方资料的适当时机。
"513"事件与《官方机密法》出台
1969年513事件发生后,国会暂停运作,政府成立国家行动理事会(NOC),由时任副首相阿都拉萨领导。
1971年,国会重新召开会议时阿都拉萨出任首相,《官方机密法令》则是在隔年1972年设立。
现有的《国家档案局法令》第37条文规定,所有官方档案应在25年后供公众查询;惟第38条文则另行规范了机密文件的使用规则。
此外,《国家档案局法令》第8条文赋予“国家档案局总监”( Director General of National Archives)权力,惟他必须依据《官方机密法令》检讨、解密或重新加密某些文件。
《官方机密法令》第2条文则规定,负责相关部门的部长,或负责相关职务的官员,以及州务大臣或首席部长,可在任何时刻,解密特定文件。#

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.
Education minister Maszlee ‘no different’ from BN politicians, claims Penang DCM / 槟第二副首长公开批马智礼, 跟国阵政客“没有什么不同”
Education minister Maszlee ‘no different’ from BN politicians, claims Penang DCM
BY OPALYN MOK
Published 9 hours ago on 17 May 2019
Penang second Deputy Chief Minister P. Ramasamy says some ministers are no different from those in power they replaced in using race and religion to ensure their political survival.
GEORGE TOWN, May 17 ― P. Ramasamy today described fellow Pakatan Harapan (PH) colleague Maszlee Malik as “no different” from Barisan Nasional (BN) politicians after the education minister’s remarks about the matriculation quota and alleged private sector biases against Bumiputera jobseekers.
The Penang second deputy chief minister said some ministers and gave the example of Maszlee, are no different from those in power they replaced in using race and religion to ensure their political survival.
“It is shocking that Maszlee could link the continuation of the matriculation quota on the existence of unfair employment system for Bumiputera in the private sector,” the DAP lawmaker said in a statement.
Ramasamy was responding to Maszlee’s reported remarks that Bumiputera were denied job opportunities because they were Mandarin illiterate nor could they speak the language in justifying the government’s decision to keep the present matriculation quota system.
“So he says as long as the private sector, in other words, Chinese employers, are only recruiting on the basis of knowledge of Mandarin, then the government will maintain the present matriculation quota.
“But now, there is realisation that some of our ministers like Maszlee are no different from the BN era politicians who used race and religion to ensure their political survival,” Ramasamy said.
He then accused Maszlee of being “entrapped in thinking along racial lines”.
“What is the difference between him and Umno politicians?” he then asked.
Ramasamy said that the employment of Bumiputera in the private sector would have been raised in Cabinet if there was a real problem.
“Why is he raising the matter in the public, does he want to score some political points in a predominantly Malay crowd?” he asked.
He said when PH won the government, some would expect racial policies in education and other areas would be in the past, but added that it was not the case with the matriculation system.
Ramasamy said a recent survey indicated that Indians face the most discrimination in the private sector while the public sector is completely monopolised by the Bumiputera.
“If this is so, what action the government is doing to rectify the situation rather to link it to the matriculation quota system?” he asked.
He pointed out that the employment of the ethnic Chinese and Indians is limited in the public sector.
He asked Maszlee if the ministry would take the initiative to change the quota system since Bumiputera constitute the vast majority of employees in the public sector.
“Maszlee after having said much on the colour of school shoes and the weight of bags seems to have nothing much to add in terms of forward looking policies to propel the education system,” he added.
He accused Maszlee of behaving like Umno politicians who think that race and religion are needed to safeguard his position in the current government.
“Well, with politicians like Maszlee, PH can say goodbye to bring about policies and reforms to move the nation ahead,” he said.
Yesterday, during a forum with university students at USM, Maszlee responded to a question on the matriculation quota by stating that the quota system should not be looked at in isolation as there were Bumiputera being denied jobs because they don’t know Mandarin.
“If we can make do without all that, if we can give equal business opportunities, then we can talk about being fair to all,” he reportedly said.

槟第二副首长公开批马智礼,
跟国阵政客“没有什么不同”
作者/来源:OPALYN MOK/<马来邮报>
槟州第二副首席部长拉玛萨米(P. Ramasamy)指责马智礼(Maszlee Malik)表现得像巫统政客,跟他们同样需要利用种族和宗教来维护他本身在现任政府中的地位。
[乔治市5月17日讯] 针对教育部长关于我国大学预科班限额(固打)和声称私人企业对土著求职者的排斥的谈话,槟州第二副首席部长拉玛萨米(P. Ramasamy)今日评论他的希盟同僚马智礼跟国阵政客“没有什么不同”。
槟城第二副首席部长说,一些部长(他举马智礼为例)跟他们取代的在前朝利用种族和宗教来取得他们的政治生存的部长没有什么不同。
这名民主行动党的立法议员在他的一份声明中说,“马智礼竟然可以将大学预科班限额的延续,跟私人企业里存在的对土著不公平的雇用制度相提并论,真是令人震惊”。
拉玛萨米是回应马智礼的公开谈话。马智礼说,土著因为不谙华语(指普通话)而失去就业机会,政府就因为他们(土著)不懂华语华文,而决定必须保持现有的大学预科班限额的制度。
“所以他说,只要私人企业,换句话说就是华人雇主,仅根据华语知识的基础来雇用员工,那么政府就将维持现有的大学预科班限额的制度。”
“但是现在,人们已经意识到,像马智礼这样的一些部长,跟使用种族和宗教来确保他们的政治生存的国阵时代的政客没有什么不同,”拉马萨米说。
他指责马智礼“陷入了种族路线思维”。
他随后问道“马智礼和巫统的政客有什么不同?”。
拉玛萨米说,如果土著在私人企业就业出现真正的问题,就应该向内阁提出。
“为什么他在公众场合提出这个问题?他是否想在马来族群中获得一些政治加分?”他问道。
他说,当希盟上台执政时,有许多人期望教育和其他领域的种族政策将会废除,但补充说,大学预科班限额的制度并非如此。
拉马萨米说,最近的一项调查显示,印度人在私人企业面临的歧视最为严重,而公共部门完全为土著所垄断。
“如果是这样,那么政府正在采取什么行动来纠正这种情况,而不是将它跟大学预科班限额制度相提并论?”他问道。
他指出,华人和印度人在公共部门就业机会是非常有限的。
他问马智礼,既然土著在公共部门就业占了绝大多数,教育部是否会主动改变非土著的限额制度?
他补充说,“马智礼说了许多关于学校鞋子的颜色和书包的重量以外,似乎也没有提出什么前瞻性政策可以用来推动教育的发展”
他指责马智礼表现得像巫统政客,跟他们同样需要利用种族和宗教来维护他本身在现任政府中的地位。
他说,“好吧!有了像马智礼这样的政客,希盟可以向‘制定改革政策、推动国家发展’告别了。”
昨天,马智礼在马来西亚理科大学(USM)举办的一个大学生论坛上,回答一个关于大学预科班限额的问题。他说,大学预科班限额的问题不应该孤立看待,这是因为土著由于不谙华语而无法获得工作机会的事实存在。
他根据传闻说,“如果我们能够做到这一点,如果我们可以提供平等的商业机会,那么我们就可以谈论对所有人公平。”

| 【图2】我们在出发前两天,就准备好两条横幅,马来文标语的横幅较长,华文标语的横幅较短。集会开始前,我们把带到会场的木棍两支两支地分开上下连接起来,以方便高高地撑起马来文的横幅。热心的印裔同胞见状便自告奋勇地帮忙捆绑。我们高兴看到印裔同胞的这种热情表现。 |

| 【图4】集会开始之前,兴权会2.0领袖乌达雅古玛(Uthayakumar)前来察看我们带去的两条横幅的摆放位置,原来他是要让我们带去的两条横幅摆放在集会讲台的后边(如上图3所示)作为讲台的背景,再把他们准备好的几条横幅配合起来,于2时许才正式开始集会活动。第一位上台讲话的是来自芙蓉的兴权会2.0的干部乌达雅(Uthaya Kumar,图中正在演讲者)。集会全程以淡米尔语主持和发言。我们出席的目的主要是给予兴权会2.0精神上的支持及表示团结印裔族群的愿望。 |

| 【图5】接着到兴权会2.0领袖乌达雅古玛(左二)汇报希盟政府执政一年的成绩单。希盟一年施政记录和今天兴权会2.0准备的横幅标语主要显示执政党(从联盟/国阵至希盟)自独立以来的种族主义和(马来)霸权政策都在压迫贫困的B75印裔族群。根据乌达雅古玛的定义,B75是占了印裔族群75%的低收入群体。乌达雅古玛表示希盟在竞选时承诺,将消除一切种族歧视,保障印裔族群的权益,如今希盟执政已满一年,是时候兑现承诺。他提出的印裔的困境和问题包括无国籍(没有身份证)、经商机会和教育机会不公等问题。 |

| 【图6】约百多名印裔群众参与了该集会。根据该集会的一名负责人Basgaran表示,只要有50人出席已经达标(据了解,乌达雅古玛和他的支持者原本只是想召开一个室内圆桌会议,而后才决定改为室外集会),所以,百多名的出席者对主办单位而言是一个挺大的鼓舞。 |

| 【图7】除了主办单位的执委外,集会当天还有其他8人上台发言。据了解,这些人来自不同的背景,包括来自公正党、其他非政府组织或民主人士。主办单位鼓励在场的出席者上台分享他们的意见的做法是开明可取、令人赞赏的——这显示着:兴权会2.0领袖乌达雅古玛等人愿意听取来自广大印裔人民群众的心声和愿望,并根据印裔以及各族人民群众的共同心声和愿望进行斗争。兴权会2.0领袖只有这样做,才能取得印裔和各族人民群众的拥护和支持。 |

| 【图8】主办单位也邀请了人民之友发言。人民之友由主席团成员的严居汉(左二)代表发言。居汉讲话主要表示华裔和印裔族群都是马来种族主义霸权统治下的受害者。想要摆脱受害者的命运,不论是华裔族群或者是印裔族群,若是孤军向迫害者作战,都是难以取得成功的。因此,华裔族群与印裔族群必须联合起来,再联合被压迫的其他少数族群共同斗争,才能形成一股对抗马来种族主义霸权统治的强大力量,从而改变我们被压迫、被歧视、被损害的地位。我们别忘了,我们两个族群加起来约有近40%的力量。 |

| 【图9】严居汉接着提到林连玉和我国华文教育的故事,并把由柯嘉逊以英文编写的《族魂林连玉》一书送给乌达雅古玛。严居汉在会上说,这本书记载了华族的“族魂”林连玉在我国独立前和独立后,为马来亚的华文教育在我国的生存和发展的权利进行了不妥协的斗争,而遭到统治集团褫夺公民权,一直到他去世后34年的今天,都无法获得平反。我们希望兴权会2.0的领袖和干部,通过了解林连玉为我国华文教育的生存和发展而奋斗的事迹和经验,作为他们今后为争取基本权益而斗争的参考,并促进印裔族群和华裔族群之间的相互了解与团结合作。 会后,严居汉接受媒体访问时补充:马来西亚独立了这么多年,国家的许多政策如新经济政策、大学预科班和种族固打制等,都对非巫裔族群不公平。他表示认同兴权会早前提出的《联邦宪法》第153条文中阐明的马来特权是问题的核心。该条文旨在保护马来人,而歧视其他族群。不合理不公平的条文应该加以检讨甚至废除。 |

At rally, Hindraf 2.0 demands seven Indian-majority seats/ 兴权会2.0向选委会提出建议: 创设7个印裔选民占多数国席
At rally, Hindraf 2.0 demands seven Indian-majority seats

Hindraf 2.0 de facto leader P Uthayakumar
The Election Commission was today urged to create seven Indian-majority parliamentary seats to give the community more political representation.
The Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf 2.0) wants these seats to be created at Padang Serai, Batu Kawan, Ipoh Barat, Kota Raja, Port Dickson, Tebrau and Cameron Highlands.
"Unlike Western civil society, where the majority speaks up for minorities, the politically and economically powerful Malay and Chinese in this country hardly speak up for the Indian poor.
"For 62 years, they haven't spoken up for Indians, be they from BN or Pakatan Harapan," Hindraf 2.0 de facto leader P Uthayakumar said after a rally in Brickfields. His brother P Waythamoorthy is the minister in the Prime Minister's Department under the Harapan government.
"Currently, we have Indian MPs, but they have no voice because they won on the votes of the Chinese and Malays.
"There is no voice without fear and favour, they have to dance to the tune of the Malay and Chinese political masters," he added.
As such, Uthayakumar said, Indian-majority seats should be created so that lawmakers – regardless of their race – are empowered to speak for the community.
This can be done by reducing the non-Indian voters in these seats, he added.
"I have written to the EC earlier today.
"In India, two parliamentary seats were ab initio entrenched into the Independence Constitution of India for the minority Anglo-Indian community.
"In Sarawak, four Orang Ulu state seats with a smaller voter base and a parliamentary seat were created, leading to Baru Bian being in a position of power in the cabinet," he said.
The rally earlier today saw about a 100 protesters march through Brickfields, carrying banners reading "reject the continuation of racial discrimination, upset at becoming second class citizens."
Uthayakumar and representatives of Indian NGOs spoke in Tamil when they raised the plight of poor Indians.
Speaking to the media later, the Hindraf 2.0 leader touched on the issue of matriculation and how the government was reluctant to help the Indian community.
Uthayakumar said the government also pledged to resolve the stateless Indians problem within 100 days of taking power.
He estimated that there are 350,000 stateless Indians in the country and the Harapan government only managed to resolve 0.5 percent of the problem in the first year of power.
"The excuse of Harapan having no money does not hold water as this can be done at the stroke of a pen by the prime minister and home minister.
"To me, this is the continuation of a racist and supremacy policy," he said, adding that the government has no political will to fulfil its promises to the Indian community.
Uthayakumar lamented that only one percent of the promises to the Indian community was fulfilled.
Meanwhile, Nyam Kee Han(left 2), a representative of Johor-based Sahabat Rakyat, pointed out that both the Chinese and Indians were the victims of the Malay supremacy.
He called on the activists from the Indian community and Hindraf 2.0 to join hands with the Chinese in their struggle so that they can have a bigger voice.
Asked to elaborate on this later, Nyam said he felt several policies, such as the New Economic Policy, matriculation and the racial quota system, were not fair to other ethnic groups.
He said he agreed with Hindraf 2.0 that Article 153 of the Federal Constitution, which stipulated the special position of the Malays, was the core problem.
Nyam added that this is because the provision has created policies to safeguard the Malays and led to the discrimination of other races.
"This is where we feel the need for review. If it is not right, it should be abolished," he said.
兴权会2.0向选委会提出建议:
创设7个印裔选民占多数国席
作者 / 来源:<当今大马>华文版
当今大马 发表于 2019年5月12日晚上7点11分 更新于 同日晚上9点23分
兴都权益行动委员会今日在十五碑举办游行(<人民之友>编者注:只是集会,不是游行),除了提出兴都社区的问题外,更向选举委员会抛出“创造7个印裔为主国席”的倡议。
兴权会创始人乌达雅古玛(P Uthayakumar,见上图1)说明,他们希望选委会能够重新划分7个国席,即巴东色海、峇都交湾、怡保西区、哥打拉惹、波德申、地不佬及金马仑高原
而重划目的在于修改这些选区的种族比例,把印裔以外的族群划到毗邻选区,好让印裔选民比例提高,变成选区的多数族群,进而让印裔在国会有更多的政治代表。
“不像西方文明社会,大多数人为少数群体发声,但在这个国家掌握着政经权力的马来人及华人,很少为贫困的印度人说话。”
“62年来,不管是来自国阵或希盟,他们不曾为印裔发声。”
印裔议员也受制于人
“目前,我们有少数的印裔国会议员,但他们无能为力,他们靠华人或马来人的选票胜出。”
乌达雅古玛说,这导致这些印裔议员受制于人,须配合巫华政治人物的论调起舞。
如此一来,他倡议设立印裔为主的国席,这样不管任何族群,都有代表为自己的族群说话。
他说明,通过减少上述国席的非印裔选民人数,借而提高印裔比例,就可以实现这项建议。
“今天较早前我已经写信给选委会了。”
印度有类似的做法
乌达雅古玛举例,印度宪法一开始就保留两个国席给少数民族的盎格鲁印度人社群,在穆斯林多数的以色列及伊朗,也有保留议席给犹太人。
他指出,在砂拉越也保留1个国席和4个州席给乌鲁人,这得以让砂州公正党主席巴鲁比安,得以在内阁占有一职。
值得一提的是,乌达雅古玛的胞弟,即瓦塔慕迪目前出任首相署部长,负责国民团结事务。
这场集会获得约100人出席,部分人手持写着“反对延续种族歧视,不满沦为次等公民”的横幅(见上图2)。
抨希盟无意兑现承诺
乌达雅古玛及出席集会的印裔非政府组织也挑起贫困印裔的教育困境。
他向媒体指出,印裔社群面对无国籍、大学预科班学位不足等问题,但政府却不愿帮助他们。
他更点出,希盟曾答应在执政百日内解决无国籍印裔课题,但最终却跳票。
他估计,国内共有35万名无国籍印裔,而希盟政府在执政第一年,只解决了其中的0.5%人数。
“希盟用没钱为借口,这是站不住脚的,首相和内政部长其实可以轻而易举就办到。”
“对我而言,这只是种族主义和霸权政策的延续。”
他批评,政府根本没有政治意愿去兑现给印裔社群的承诺,当中只完成了1%。
印华裔受促联手斗争
另一方面,人民之友(Sahabat Rakyat)的一名代表严居汉(见上图3左2)声称,华裔和印裔都是马来霸权政策下的受害者。
他呼吁印裔社运组织和兴权会,与华裔联手一起斗争,扩大两个种族的声音。
他受询时解释,国家多个政策都对其他族群不公平,如新经济政策、大学预科班和种族固打制。
他说,他认同兴权会,联邦宪法第153条文中阐明的马来特权是问题的核心。
他续称,这样的条文旨在保护马来人,进而歧视其他族群。
“这是我们觉得应该审视的地方,如果不对,就应该废除。”#

One year on, B75 Indians still being victimised under PH rule - Uthaya /1 year P.H. @Indian Manifesto Report Card (Full text)
One year on, B75 Indians still being victimised under PH rule – Uthaya
Source:themalaysiantimes.com.my
KUALA LUMPUR, May 8: Hindraf 2.0 leader P. Uthayakumar today claimed that the Pakatan Harapan government has failed to deliver its promises to the Indian community.
In a report card on Pakatan’s manifesto promises for Indians, Uthayakumar said that the promises are yet to be delivered to the Indians, particularly the bottom 75 percent income earners (B75).
“We regret to bring to your goodselves kind attention that the delivery thereto for the B75 Indian poor is only about 1% % while the overall PH rating is at 50.1%,” he said.
Uthayakumar said that based on the movement’s observation, over the last one year, PH failed to deliver 15 promises to the B75 Indian poor.
Uthayakumar also said that Pakatan’s goverment has continued the “implementation of the 62 years of racist and supremacist policies and politics victimizing the B75 Indian poor”.
“With all due respect from the above, we regret to outline in this report card that save and except for the 200 plus 1,641 Identity Cards and the 377 MRSM places, PHs’ delivery for the B75 Indian poor amounts to only about 1% Delivery.
“Please stop the “piecemeal delivery” rhetoric and include the B75 Indian poor into the national mainstream development of Malaysia Baru.
“Our overall rating of PH otherwise is 50.1% having taken into account PHs’ serious anti corruption delivery, withdrawing GST and the Police Forces’ generally better conduct (minus shooting dead suspects and abusing Remand Proceedings etc ).
“Otherwise PH seems to be continuing with the 62 years of racist and supremacist policies and politics and in the process victimising the B75 Indian poor.
“The common excuse given in effect being – pulling the B75 Indian poor above the waters will upset the Malay Muslim ground.
“Do we deliver for the people who voted us in or worry about the people who didn’t but because whose votes we may lose in the next GE15?” he asked.

1 year Pakatan Harapan Govt @Indian Manifesto Report Card. End 62 years racist & supremacist policies & politics victimizing B75 Indian poor: 1% delivery for B75 & 50.1% Rating:HINDRAF 2.0
Introduction
It is ONE year today of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government vis a vis the legitimate expectations for delivery especially by the most victimized B75 Indian Poor (95% voted PH) in particular of PHs’ 25 Election Promises for the Indian Community. Especially vis a vis the preamble of the said PH Election Manifesto in particular “Sebagai rakyat yang mempunyai hak yang sama dengan semua warganegara lain, sudah tiba masanya untuk semua bentuk diskriminasi yang menzalimi warga India dihapuskan … Pengagihan kekayaan negara mestilah dilakukan secara adil dan penindasan ekonomi terhadap warga India dihentikan serta-merta…”, which was subsequently reaffirmed … “Championing one race will destroy all, warns Dr Mahathir” (1) and “Mahathir: Wealth should be distributed equally among races” (2). We however regret to bring to your goodselves kind attention that the delivery thereto for the B75 Indian poor is only about 1% % while the overall PH rating is at 50.1%.
PH top 15 non delivery
With all due respect, our humble monitoring over the last 165 days (100 and 200 days submitted to your goodselves earlier) @ the tip of the iceberg ONE year (3), PH top 15 non delivery Report Card of even the very basic necessities food, shelter and education for the B75 Indian Poor arising largely from the continued implementation of the 62 years of racist and supremacist policies and politics victimizing the B75 Indian poor for your due consideration are as follows:-
❶ The 100 days promise to some 350,000 (4) B75 Indian poor is yet to be delivered by failing to fulfill even PH Promise No.1 by still denying them their Rule of Law and Constitutional Birth Certificates and Citizenship @ innate Birth Rights which could be resolved merely by the stroke of the pen by the Prime Minister and/or Home Minister’s Directive to the Director General of the National Registration Department to forthwith issue Birth Certificates and Identity Cards vis a vis Citizenship by operation of law further to Article 14 of the Federal Constitution .
We have recorded only the seasonal mere 200 citizenships announced by the Home Minister during Deepavali 2018 @ 0.05% delivery. To quote Social Activist Dr.Kua Kia Soong “at this rate we will be witnessing such yearly Deepavali “gifts” for the next 1,500 years! (5). Maybe marking PHs’ 1st anniversary today (5A) a further 1,641 (0.46%) citizenships were dished out. Perhaps in the best interest of transparency under Malaysia Baru, PH may want to publish the names and Identity Cards numbers thereto in the Home Ministry’s Official Website. PH Policy Statement “School for stateless kids, inclusive policy among Pakatan successes in first year, education minister says” (6). This is a non starter as many innocent B75 Indian poor children still cannot even enroll in kindergartens and primary schools (7).This is quite unlike when … “Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak Datuk Seri David Wong Dak Wah said the mobile courts … helped facilitate 87,345 birth certification cases ― usually linked to late birth registration in remote areas - as of December 31, 2018 (8)
❷ Vide PHs’ Promise No 10, RM1,500.00 minimum wage also within 100 days is also yet to be fulfilled. To the contrary the PH Budget 2019 proposed a minimum wage of a mere RM1,100.00(9).
❸ Vide Promise No 2 PH promised to provide for affordable Housing especially for the estate workers and the B40 (B75 for Indian poor). To the direct contrary we have recorded an accumulated 45,403 (10) cases of homeless, landless and the homes of the B75 Indian poor being demolished arising largely from the unfulfilled Tun Razak Estate Workers Housing Scheme 1973 Policy especially in Bukit Kiara, Byram Estate, Kg Muhibah Puchong, Kubang Ulu Penang and 23 other settlements with their struggle ranging from 38 years to even 100 years (Tai Lee Estate, Ipoh).
The Malays, Orang Asli, Kadazan, Iban etc. have tens of thousands of villages, farms and land banks nationwide (also foreign workers in their respective countries), even the poor Chinese have 630 Chinese New Villages. To the contrary the B75 Indian poor have almost Zero villages, farms and land banks as their social safety net (11). In an emergency or in the event of a misfortune, they have Zero Social Safety Net to the extent that their option may be to commit suicide (12).
❹ Vide PH promise No 4, full financial aided status for all 525 Tamil schools with same infrastructure standards as that of National schools within their first term (Parliamentary Term) is a non starter. We have however recorded 191 (13) instances of Tamil Schools being denied even the very basics for example tables and chairs, children using tar roads as playing fields, ammonia fumes and ash from factory and crematorium, denied 32 Tamil school kindergartens and 11 new schools and annex buildings, 74 Tamil school toilets in deplorable state, denied access roads etc.
Even Former Prime Minister Najib Razak is now calling on for Kindergardens to be made compulsory in (all) Tamil schools (14) and in the backdrop of calls for “Compulsory education should be raised to Form Five” (15), Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Departments’ statement that “… all kindergarten teachers (but excluding Tamil Schools) have a Diploma in early Childhood Education …”(16).
We have recorded 45 critical situations in Tamil schools ranging from being under high tension TNB electric cables, 90 year old wooden and on the verge of collapsing, termite infested, catching fire, cramped up by almost 100%, denied kindergartens, Serendah Tamil School yet to be built even after one by-election, two General Elections and two “pecah tanah”, public protests etc, construction of 37 Tamil schools not completed even up to 8 years now, Tamil School even in the Education Minister’s Constituency denied 150 meters access road and therefore cannot be opened, operating from Construction Cabins, low enrolment schools refused to be relocated to largely Indian populated areas, borrowing students from towns to avoid Estate Tamil schools from being closed down etc as is outlined in Appendix 1 herein (16A).
❺ Vide PH Promise No. 15 and 18, small Indian businesses would be given micro credit, financial assistance, licenses and business permits will be made easy especially for the Indian Recycling outlets. Vide our 25 point Proposals to Tun Dr.Mahathir, Tun Daim and CIR dated 28.5.2018 we have requested for 100,000 per year of such self employment and business opportunities for the B75 Indian poor. But we regret to report that we are yet to record even one such case. To the direct contrary, four Indian Recycling Outlets in Setapak were demolished on 21/2/2019 despite our appeal letter dated 10/7/2018 to no less than the Prime Minister and Federal Territories Minister.
Why not licenses and micro credit facilities be given to even operate Burger, Mobile Stalls and Food Trucks in Chinese Housing areas let alone denying tens of thousands of petty trading licenses etc. We have recorded seven elderly Indian traders in Brickfeilds having operated for 40 years who were given Notice to evict (72). An Indian Sugarcane water and food stall was similarly demolished in Setapak (73) and another Indian Recycling Outlet in Puchong demolished (74).
❻ Vide Promise No. 17 PH will give FELDA and FELCRA like land settlement schemes with financial assistance. However we have recorded Zero to date. PH could have Compulsorily Acquired further to Section 76 (aa) (ii) and Section 116(1)(d)(4) of the National Land Code read together with the Land Acquisition Act 1965 and the Local Government Act but choose to watch silently as bulldozers literally bulldozed 111 traditional Indian vegetable farms in Cameron Highlands (75).
❼ Although qualified, only an estimated 2% of Public Universities’ intake are allowed for Malaysian Indians and most B75 cannot afford Private Universities especially in the field of Medicine, Dentistry, Engineering, Pharmacy, Accountancy, Architecture and other Professional courses.
❽ For the year 2018 a total of 2,200 Matriculation places were granted by the previous BN government for high achieving Indian SPM students also after Hindrafs’ public protests since 2010. However almost immediately upon assuming power PH rewarded the far well to do Chinese voters with a total of 1,000 extra Matriculation places but zero for the far below the water B75 Indian poor students. In compounding matters the PH Education Minister announced that the said 2,200 places was a one off grant, which even the former UMNO Education Minister denied. The next day PH must have directed their powerless and showpiece Indian Senior most Minister to do a la MIC Tamil Dailies headlines propaganda that the said 2,200 places is retained but which was never mentioned in the said Education Minister’s Media Statement released on the very same day! (76).
PH has also still refused to recognize the long outstanding thousands of B75 Medical Graduates from affordable overseas Medical Universities, with the latest being Dr.Sasha Gomez who had completed her Medical studies in Cuba but not recognized and unable to work in Malaysia (77)
❾ Vide Promise No. 6 and 7, PH promised places in Fully Residential schools, MRSM and Regular Residential Secondary Schools (and Giat Mara Colleges?) for the B 75. We have recorded the announcement of 377 out of 7,760 places (78) or 4.85% in Form One at MRSM for the year 2019 intake. For the purposes of transparency the Rural and Regional Development Ministry should publish a list of the names and Identity Card numbers of the said students. In giving proper effect, provisions for Indian food and weekly Hindu Temple visits must also be made.
❿ Vide Promise No. 19, PH promised to provide sufficient places for Hindu Temples and Hindu Cemeteries. However not only were the existing Hindu temples not granted land, gazetted and granted Land Titles accordingly but many were demolished. The Seafeilds Hindu Temple demolishment saga sent a dangerous signal when at least 12 people were injured and 23 of the intruder’s cars unprecedentedly burnt by angry Hindus. In rubbing salt into wound, the Selangor PH Menteri Besar made a statement as if he was the spokesman for the Developer by ordering the temple to return the land and money which the temple did not even receive in the first place. Was it the said Developer or the 95% of the Indians who had voted for PH? In the absence of the grant of the promised land Title via a High Court Trust in favor of the said Temple, we can only assume that the Attorney General’s solution was not given the green light by the PH top leadership. Disregarding “Dr.M: Riots should be a wake up call” (79), the PH government further demolished the Relau Hindu Temple in Penang (80). From our records this is the first ever Hindu Temple demolishment in Penang.
In the aftermath of the 25th November 2007 Hindraf Rally, the UMNO government made a Ministerial Statement in Parliament that no Hindu temples would be demolished in Kuala Lumpur which was honored as at the 2018 General Elections. To the contrary PH demolished the Kampong Limau PPR Hindu temple (81), and the Jinjang Utara Hindu Temple in April 2019. The PPR Kg Baru Air Panas Hindu Temple was slated for demolished also on the 17th of April 2019 but was deferred when Hindraf 2.0 launched a Social Media campaign against the same. We have henceforth recorded three Hindu temple demolishments by the PH government, Congratulations! and 152 hindu temples in need of the PH State government land (potential Seafeilds Temple timebombs?) including the 120 year old Tepi Sungai, Klang Mariaman Hindu Temple (82). The Prime Minister as Chairman of the National Physical Planning Council by the stroke of the pen can direct that all houses of worship (and cemeteries), no matter how small is to be incorporated and recognized on the Masterplan of any land (83), and thereafter gazetted and issued Land Titles accordingly.
We have also recorded thirteen (13) Hindu cemeteries and last rites ceremony Halls similarly denied Land Titles with one Hindu Cemetery actually going missing in thin air (84)
⓫ Vide Promise No. 11, PH promised to direct GLCs’, Federal Government Agencies and Local Authorities to target 10% of the workforce for the B75 Indian poor. To date we have actually recorded ZERO.
⓬ Vide Promise No. 22, PH promised to address (B75) Indian poverty “unlike the UMNO government”. Our monitoring however reveals widespread chronic poverty :- “If lucky we get rice porridge, if not rice in water” for single mother and 3 children (85), Son, daughter and daughter in law all passed away leaving eight grand children aged 7, 9, 10… with grandmother (60) and are given a mere RM200.00 by the Welfare Department! (86), students going hungry to school (87), Single Mother with two young children denied Welfare help at all (88) Homeless family living at bus stop with 3 year old baby (89), No mattress and forced to sleep on cement as her husband is in jail for mother(62) with 3 young children who is also a stroke patient (90), Broke hand and leg in accident, single mother with 7 children struggles (91) Three children 11,14 and 15 cannot even afford to go to school (92) .
Perhaps on PHs’ directive via the a la MIC cum UNNO Tamil Dailies propaganda, the powerless Indian PH Deputy Chief Minister is only able to hand out prostatic legs (93), Indian Deputy Speaker pays electricity bills and dishes out provisions for one month (94), Kedah Indian Exco highlights homes denied water and electricity (95), Selangor Indian Exco dishes out his trademark bus fare of RM300.00 per year for 3,000 Indian poor (96), Perak EXCO Member dishes out RM2,789.00 to handicapped home (97). The Selangor Menteri Besar putting up full page Thaipusam advertisement in Tamil Daily … to make up for non delivery in Seafeilds? (98) and the Perak Menteri Besar Tamil Daily front page dishing out 3,000 Ponggal pots … to make up for failing to address B75 poverty in Perak? (99) This widespread B75 chronic poverty also contributes to increase in Indian crime rate which came about only in the last 30 years of UMNO rule.
⓭ Widespread B75 workforce victims denied SOCSO Claims and Pensions. The powerless PH Indian Human Resources Senior Minister is of no or very little help!!!
⓮ Vide promise No 16. PH promised to form the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in combating (widespread racial) discrimination and unfairness both in the public and private sectors. But we have recorded ZERO delivery, maybe in recognition of the Zero votes for BN campaign!
⓯ In the general Racial Discrimination category we have recorded no Indians in the Education Services Commission, Senior Assistants position in limbo and no kindergarten assistants in Tamil Schools (100), Water supply disconnected for twenty-five B75 families in Dusun Durian Estate, Banting (101), Football field denied to Kg Desa Aman, KL youths (102) 6,000, Security Guards lost their jobs (103), One Hundred and Forty-two (142) B75 child detainees still held under POCA (104), (Despite POCA,POTA,SOSMA, SEDITION Act etc promised to be repealed PH has not honoured its Election Promise), Muddy drinking water for hundreds of Seremban Estate workers (105) , School Canteen in Penang instructed not to sell Indian food such as Thosai (106) Low wages for 3D jobs or nothing at all, PM tells workers on Labour Day! (107) , Mentakab Indians forced to take risk by placing wood along Railway bridge and using the same (108) etc.
Conclusion
With all due respect from the above, we regret to outline in this Report Card that save and except for the 200 plus 1,641 Identity Cards and the 377 MRSM places, PHs’ delivery for the B75 Indian poor amounts to only about 1% Delivery. Please stop the “piecemeal delivery” rhetoric and include the B75 Indian poor into the National Mainstream Development of Malaysia Baru.
Our overall rating of PH otherwise is 50.1% having taken into account PHs’ serious anti corruption delivery, withdrawing GST and the Police Forces’ generally better conduct (minus shooting dead suspects and abusing Remand Proceedings etc ). Otherwise PH seems to be continuing with the 62 years of racist & supremacist policies and politics and in the process victimizing the B75 Indian poor. The common excuse given in effect being - pulling the B75 Indian poor above the waters will upset the Malay Muslim ground. Do we deliver for the people who voted us in or worry about the people who didn’t but because whose votes we may lose in the next GE 15?. We have recorded - “Harapan will lose next GE if it takes its base for granted” (109) and Never-ending bumi policy dashes hope for 'New Malaysia' Kua Kia Soong (110) In ‘new Malaysia’, PPBM is the ‘new Umno’, MCA tells DAP (111). ‘Bersatu aims to empower bumiputera socially and economically’ (112)
May we invite your goodselves’ D.G. for Implementation and Coordination Unit (ICU) to present PHs’ perspective as to the aforesaid only about 1% delivery at our Peaceful Gathering on 12/5/2019 (Sunday) at 2.00 pm at The Fountain, Brickfeilds.
We hereby once again humbly seek an appointment with your goodselves with regards to the above.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
