Why The Double Standards When We Are All Children Of Malaysia

The majority race, which is supposed to protect the minority in Malaysia, leaves others in a helpless situation.

In a few days we will be celebrating our independence. A serious question that all citizens of this country should ask themselves: Is this Malaysia the country our forefathers fought for in 1957? Is this Malaysia really the country our grandparents dreamed of? Does this Malaysia practice equal treatment for all?
Many unanswered questions still haunt today’s Malaysia, with no plans to heal the racial and religious problems. For years, the Indian community in Malaysia has been left behind and has been accused of being the cause of racial and religious problems, but there’s no lasting solution. Our neighbouring country Singapore is carefully protecting its country from racial and religious problems.
Recently, a Tamil supremacist group has been condemning the Indian community in Malaysia by saying that the Indians are born for mongrel groups. After more than 100 police reports are lodged, yet action against people who speak badly about Indians are not taken seriously by the authorities. It has become a trend to be free to insult the Malaysian Hindus.
Then there is this man who posted on Facebook, criticising the Hindu religion. The police are not sensitive enough to take action against such a person in the past and present. So many FIRs are lodged against those who insult the Hindu religion and Indians but we hardly hear of any action being taken.

When it is the other way round, the police will arrest the culprits within 24 hours. The Indian community has been wounded for many years. The majority race, which is supposed to protect the minority in Malaysia, leaves others in a helpless situation.
Such condemnation of Malaysian Indians or Hindus is nothing new, but the law doesn’t work when it comes to punishing the abusers. It’s a huge problem in Malaysia. Our grandparents fought for the independence of this nation regardless of race and religion. The Reid Commission document was never reviewed after it expired but the majority still think that the document still exists so that the minority can be marginalised. The double standard of this nation in terms of enforcement is a serious issue that we must address without delay. Many minority races thought that the new Prime Minister will change the whole landscape of our nation for the better, but unfortunately their hopes were shattered and the reformation that was promised was just rhetoric.
How long will the minorities and the Malaysian Indians have to face the unresolved independence issue? Aren’t they the children of Malaysia? Aren’t they entitled to equal treatment? Do they have to face the same racial and religious double standards in Malaysia for another 33 years? The answer lies with every parliamentarian who promised to make Malaysia proud again.
Please let us taste true independence.
