How dreadful to carry out any arrest
Before having the chance to take lunch rest
Hope we still have brains to do what is best
Lest we have to bear the brunt of being the world’s jest

We love all Malaysian irrespective of race or religion (because God say so). The Hindraf only want to ask the government to provide systemised help to the poor Indian but the whole thing has been turn bloody upside down by the UMNO dictated government. What a shame and pity. I believe many Malaysians are now being 'lip tied' by the government and PDRM's threat of detention and invocation of ISA. What can we do now? Will someone please share some light. The government must help the non-Malay poor like Felda taking care of their settlers; RM100 million allocation announced few days ago by DPM for various assistance to the settlers (including to provide 6 months post graduate training to settlers' children with RM1000 monthly allowance!). What could the RM3 million allocated through MIC do for the whole Indian community? And are the poverty statistic true? I have big doubt. Even if it is true. it must be a big failure on the part of the government if our Malay fellow country men is still having such a high poverty rate! Yes, we must also help them; get them into Felda scheme, or are they refusing to go? Just work as an oil palm plantation harvester will already net them easily RM500 a month; the poverty dividing line. In our resource rich country, I'm really puzzled if someone could not earn more than RM500 a month! I think its high time to put in at least 40% of non-Malay officers in the related ministries or departments to help reduce the poverty faster. I'm sure they will be able help achieve the poverty eradication target in no time! (I have the same idea for PROTON; why we need foreign partnership, we just need to pour in at least 40% non-Malay staffs and expect the radical change! I sincerely hope that my fellow Malay countrymen will take this as a practical and effective way to solve PROTON problem, and not as doubt to Malay's capability). I know there are so many Indonesian workers getting more than RM1000 a month just by doing oil palm fresh fruit bunches harvesting for the local oil palm small holders in Kluang. And if I'm not wrongly informed, many Felda settlers in Bukit Goh near Kuantan are employing Indonesian to do the harvesting for them, instead of doing it themselves. Are they still living in poverty? Are their income already net of payment to those Indonesian? I’m real sad over the country’s situation.

Let us start this process NOW while there is still time!There are just TOO MANY issues going out of hand currently and this country is slowly but surely descending into CHAOS. Too much energy is being wasted by fighting over too many issues. CHANGE begins internally in our OWN MINDS. Great Empires have been brought down by the will of the People when they all come together and speak in ONE VOICE!!!The Opposition should also speak in ONE VOICE and form a UNITED FRONT for the People!!!(THE PEOPLE'S FRONT/BARISAN RAKYAT) Let us not allow the BN Propaganda Machine to succeed in dividing the People Further & Further in our minds!!! Only when Malaysians are TRULY UNITED can this GIANT BEAST called BN be brought down to its knees! Enough of Demonstrations & Petition Writings!!The UMNO-BN Govt can only be DEFEATED at the Ballot BOX!!So let's work hard to deny them their majority at BOTH STATE & PARLIAMENT levels!!! 12/12 12:12:25 Dear Malaysians,

And Abdullah Badawi’s Islam Hadhari is NOT as liberal as what UMNO says it is.
