Najib Tun Razak announced for the first time in Budget 2012 in
October 2011, a special allocation of RM100 million for Tamil school
repairs and upkeep. But as per government policy all repair and upkeep
work has to be awarded to Malay contractors.
These contracts are normally given out on negotiated price which is
always overpriced to help Malay contractors. But the BN government will
tell the Indian community that they have given RM100 million to Indian
community. MIC will proudly repeat this to the gullible and poor Indians
that the BN government is very concerned and cares for Indians.
Many NGOs urged the BN government to issue these contracts to Indian
contractors. MIC to make themselves relevant took the NGOs demand and
informed the PM that these Tamil school repair and renovation works must
be given to Indian contractors. For the information of all, Chinese
school repair and renovation works have always been done by Chinese
contractors.
Under the current political scenario, where Indian votes have
deserted BN, the PM agreed to award these contracts to Indian
contractors. But to allow Indian contractors to undertake Tamil school
contract works, there must be a policy change.
The BN procurement policy is all work must be given to Malay
contractors. So this matter was taken to ministry of finance and then to
cabinet committee to make a policy change to allow awarding of
contracts to Indian contractors to repair and renovate Tamil schools.
As way out of this policy obstacle, Indian contractors were
encouraged to register themselves in the newly formed Suria Cooperative
Society which is the economic vehicle of the new MIC president. Tamil
school repair and renovation contracts will be given to Suria
cooperative society members.
They had balloting to pick the contractors. I understand that very
few are genuine contractors. Once again there is no policy change but
MIC helped the prime minister to come out of a temporary convenient
measure to circumvent the Umno’s racial policy. Is this the way MIC
fights for Indian rights. It is a sellout of Indian rights to Umno.
How many Tamil schools were repaired and renovated so far under this special allocation?
I understand that before Samy Vellu became minister of works in 1980,
Indian contractors were awarded Tamil school renovation contracts. But
Samy Vellu changed this policy to award contract to his Malay cronies.
In Budget 2013, the prime minister has announced RM100 million for
Tamil school repair and renovations. I do not know whether the six new
Tamil schools are included in this 100 million. Has the ministry of
education identified the land for the six schools and have work started
on building these schools?
Since MIC is acting as intermediary to ministry of education, they
must inform the public on the developments of the repair work and the
construction of new schools.
MIC has again rescued Umno from the wrath of Indian community about
the repair of Tamil schools. Tamil schools were neglected for 55 years.
The Ministry of Education has conveniently outsourced Tamil Schools back
to MIC which was the past practice.
Do Tamil schools have any future under this arrangement? Is Palanivel
also the minister of Tamil schools? There is no department for Tamils
schools in the education ministry even though there are 524 Tamil
schools.
Since the finance minster has announced the allocation RM50 million
for training of Indian youths, how will this training programmes be
conducted. Is the 50 million given to MIC or Suria Cooperative Society
to conduct training programmes?
Tekun loan is already being handled by MIC. Every Tekun loan
applicant needs a MIC leader’s recommendation. MIC was rejected by
Indian community in the 2008 election. Yet Umno provides the life line
to rescue them. This is the predicament of Indians in Malaysia. Even if
Indians reject MIC, Umno will continue to save and keep them as a
lapdog. Umno does not care how Indians fare in education or economy.
They only want Indian votes.
ADMIN NOTE:
AN INDIAN NGO MALAYSIAN INDIAN SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC ADVANCEMENT (MISEA) HAS BEEN GOING AROUND RECRUITING MEMBERS PROMISING THAT THEY CAN HELP THEN IN ACQUIRING TEKUN LOANS, BUSINESS GRANTS AND ALSO GETTING CONTRACTS FOR INDIAN CONTRACTORS TO GET THE SO-CALLED TAMIL SCHOOL PROJECTS.

BN/UMNO BRINGING IN BANGLADESHI WORKERS IN DECEMBER TO VOTE FOR THE REGIME. LET'S STOP IT!!!
By Admin
The Evil BN/Umno Regime of Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak has diabolically planned to cling on to power in Malaysia by enlisting the support of Bangladeshi citizens to vote for his Regime in the coming General Elections. With the Malaysian so-called impartial Elections Commission under his payroll together with the civil service and the police, Najib hopes to stop at all cost the opposition Pakatan Rakyat from winning the GE.
Already the Regime is going to bring in Bangladeshi workers in December, just in time probably to get them as voters for the BN/Umno Regime. Read here http://www.bikyamasr.com/78322/malaysia-wants-bangladesh-workers/
WE AS PATRIOTIC CITIZENS ARE DUTY BOUND TO ENSURE THAT THIS ACT OF TREASON IS THWARTED! As seen above, the Bangladeshi Government has conspired with Najib to see this diabolical plan through. Also, look out for Bangladeshi's having MYKAD's with the digits '71' i.e a typical Malaysian MYKAD ID will look like this 570831-07-1234, the '07' means the bearer of this MYKAD was born in Penang. The Bangladeshi's however will have '71' instead. Read more here http://malaysiansmustknowthetruth.blogspot.com/2011/09/by-lee-wee-tak-this-kod-negara-71.html
