Buku Teks Sejarah Tingkatan 4

Just after reading, Definitely you will ask what MIC Youth going to do. This is the statement from Mr.S.Murugesan - Deputy Co-ordinator, MIC Youth National

Who are the "pendatang asing" they are referring to? If the Chinese and Indians are still referred to as the "pendatang asing", even after 51 years of "Merdeka", where does that leave us as a nation? What has become of our National Integration if our text-book refer to the Chinese and Indians as "pendatang asing"?Remember the uproar that was caused a decade ago when Lee Kim Sai (if I am not mistaken) of MCA said that if Chinese and Indians are "pendatang", then historically Malays are also "pendatang"?The above mentioned textbook was written from a point of view of a Malay, not Malaysian. How can we ever dream of becoming One Nation if our history is written with such myopic view?I had highlighted this issue to the press during the press conference held in conjunction with the opening ceremony of MIC Youth's new office. I am not sure how many newspapers will carry this story but as of now I was informed that Sin Chew Daily will carry it. Probably the Tamil Dailies will too.In any event, this issue, together with the Teluk Panglima Garang teacher's issue will be some of the matters that will be raised at the next BN Education Bureau meeting.

PETALING JAYA: The MIC’s rebranding exercise has encouraged more Indians to join the party, with more than 400 youths joining the Sepang division in Selangor, division chief Datuk C. Krishnan said.
He said the division, the first in Selangor to recruit members in large numbers, hoped to attract more new members in the future.
“They (the new members) are confident that the MIC will be able to represent their needs,” he told reporters here yesterday.
MIC vice-president Datuk S. Sothinathan and Youth coordinator T. Mohan were also present.
Krishnan said the move by the party headquarters to separate the Youth wing from the MIC branches had generated keen interest from youths to join the party.
He was confident that more Indian women would join the MIC following a proposal by party president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu to detach the Wanita movement from all MIC branches so that they could function as a separate entity.
The MIC now has more than 630,000 members with 3,700 branches throughout the country. Samy Vellu is also on a mission to regain the trust of the Indian community. Mohan said the wing had already submitted a list to the headquarters to form 287 branches.
“We hope to form about 750 branches by year’s end,” he said.

IPOH 6 Sept. - Kerajaan tidak pernah mengabaikan program pembangunan untuk masyarakat India di negara ini termasuk dalam bidang pendidikan kerana tidak mahu mereka terpinggir daripada arus pembangunan negara.Timbalan Menteri Kewangan, Datuk Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah berkata, peruntukan bagi program berkenaan akan disampaikan menerusi pelbagai pihak termasuk daripada Ahli Parlimen di kawasan masing-masing.
''Sebagai contoh bagi kawasan Parlimen Tambun, kita telah mengagihkan peruntukan sebanyak RM165,000 bagi pembangunan masyarakat India di kawasan ini termasuk melalui pertubuhan bukan kerajaan (NGO) dan sekolah-sekolah Tamil," katanya kepada pemberita selepas menyampaikan peruntukan khas Ahli Parlimen Tambun untuk Program Motivasi Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Tamil (SJKT) di sini hari ini.
Sekolah-sekolah yang terlibat dalam program berkenaan adalah SJKT Klebang, SJKT Ladang Chemor, SJKT Tanjung Rambutan, SJKT Changkat Kinding dan SJKT Strathisla.
Dalam majlis yang sama, Ahmad Husni turut mengagihkan peruntukan sebanyak RM42,000 kepada 14 NGO yang aktif di kawasan Parlimen Tambun.
Beliau yang juga Ahli Parlimen Tambun berkata, setiap sekolah terlibat akan menerima peruntukan sebanyak RM3,000 bagi tujuan mengadakan program motivasi supaya anak-anak muda kaum India terus bersemangat menimba ilmu.
''Ilmu merupakan teras kepada pembangunan sesuatu kaum dan setiap individu di negara ini diwajibkan pergi ke sekolah supaya mereka berpeluang menikmati kehidupan yang lebih baik.
''Peruntukan ini merupakan galakan kepada mereka untuk terus mendalami ilmu pengetahuan kerana tanpa motivasi yang cukup, agak sukar bagi mereka melanjutkan pelajaran sehingga ke tahap tertinggi," katanya.
Menurut Ahmad Husni, sebanyak tiga buah sekolah Tamil yang masih merekodkan pencapaian akademik tidak memuaskan telah diberi peruntukan sebanyak RM5,000 bagi mengadakan program motivasi lebih komprehensif.

Gerakan May Quit BN

KUALA LUMPUR: Gerakan will leave Barisan Nasional if it cannot play a "meaningful role" within the coalition, said acting president Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon.
The party is now reviewing its role in Barisan, he said, just a day after he had declared Gerakan had no intention of quitting the coalition.
But that declaration had been tempered with the caution that Barisan must change to cope with the political reality and move away from race-based politics.
Dr Koh said it was only right for the party to question its role in the coalition.
He said a "meaningful role" meant having mutual respect, sharing ideas and consulting on major programmes and policies.
"We will remain in Barisan Nasional only in the context that we have a meaningful role to play.
"It's not unconditional, as was reported by one press, that Gerakan will always remain in Barisan, as if it were irrespective of whether we have a role (to play) or not.
Asked if this meant there was a possibility that Gerakan would leave the coalition, Dr Koh said:
"I don't know what else can I say. You want to write it like that, you go ahead."
He also reiterated that Gerakan was not a "yes-man" in the coalition but it would also not leave merely because another component party’s member attacked them.
He said Gerakan would not act emotionally and the party would look at the overall picture, such as what the party could do for the people, for unity and for the economy.
Asked if Gerakan was happy with its current role in the coalition, Dr Koh said it was not happy, but it was also not unhappy enough to leave.
He said the party would not take too long to review its role but neither would it give itself a tight deadline.
"We are discussing the time frame now -- as I said, it has to be reasonable," he said.
He noted that Gerakan was a founding partner of Barisan and would not just leave because it was upset with some things.
Dr Koh had also earlier warned that Barisan may reach a “point of no return” if racist remarks and anti-social behaviour continued to tarnish its image, implicitly referring to Umno Bukit Bendera division chairman Datuk Ahmad Ismail’s alleged racist statements.
Ahmad was reported to have described Malaysian-Chinese as immigrants and squatters. He has denied the reports, saying journalists had quoted him out of context.
He has also refused to apologise for the alleged remarks, citing support from the 13 Umno divisions in Penang, and demanded that Dr Koh and Chinese community leaders apologise to him for asking him to express regret.
Ahmad also said that he was sure MCA would garner unanimous support from the Chinese if Gerakan broke away from Barisan, which saw Dr Koh accusing him of "trying to drive a wedge" between Gerakan and MCA.

Internet is an open world, everyone has right to voice out their oppinion. Isnt it ? As can read, srihero1 expressed his feelings, thoughts, oppinion through his post. That is srihero1's right.

But for other races who are reading blogs, whether it is HINDRAF's blog, MIC's blog, IPF's blog, etc..... basically, it is all about INDIANS in Malaysia. It shows the disunity among the Indians. Forget about the past... let us work together build the future.. erase negative thoughts..

The Star - 'Pendatang' Issue

Najib: Umno apologises
Umno deputy president Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has apologised for the statement made by one of the party's division leaders which resulted in a lot of criticism from the Chinese community.

Chinese leaders: It’s Ahmad who must say sorry
Various political parties still want Bukit Bendera Umno division chief Datuk Ahmad Ismail to make a personal apology although Umno as a party has already said sorry.

Dear Datuk Ahmad Ismail,

This is a multi-racial country. Please respect the others. We are in the year of 2008. But still, there are few uncivilized people like you do exist in this country. Pity Malaysia....

Apologise now or regret later.
