WORDS THAT SPEAK LOUDER THAN ACTIONS.

The president of MIC is a happy man. He has given top marks for himself on his leadership ability by announcing that Malaysian Indians are on track in “transforming themselves into a self-reliant, dignified and progressive community”.
Consider what “Muthu public” recognises as common knowledge and what the MIC youth chief has to say
“We (Indians) are lagging in everything – from employment to education and economic benefits” and he continued to mention that the Indians are 10 years behind the Chinese and Malays.
When will politicians (and in this case the MIC) redeem back their moral integrity by acknowledging to the public the often-painful truth about the actual state of the country?

The Warong Kopi doubts that it will happen because --- Leadership in the UMNO run government (URG) is all about making great “Malaysia boleh” speeches where words always speak louder than actions.

MIC well ahead in plan to transform Indians

The MIC is on its way towards achieving its vision to transform Malaysian Indians into a self-reliant, dignified and progressive community in a modern and developed nation, its president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu said.
This, he said, was being done by organising, motivating and mobilising the community through grassroots projects and programmes.
“Through our party’s social machinery, we have undertaken numerous programmes and projects to raise the standard of living of the Indian community,” he said in his message to wish Malaysians of Hindu faith a Happy Deepavali.

One-third of Johor crimes committed by Indians.

Indians are responsible for about 30% of the crimes committed in Johor.
They are mainly involved in wayside robberies, motorcycle thefts and hijacking of lorries, said state police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Hussin Ismail. Meanwhile, MIC Youth chief S.A. Vigneswaran said the movement was concerned about the increasing number of Indians getting involved in crime.
“We are lagging in everything – from employment to education and economic benefits.
“The situation is so bad that, sometimes, people are worried when they see us and do not want to hire Indians,” he said in his speech at the function.
The youths had to “wake up” as the progress of the Indian community was already about 10 years behind the Chinese and the Malays, added Vigneswaran, who is also Youth and Sports Parliamentary Secretary. Source
