Pakatan's 14 Point Plan For Malaysian Tamil

Sweet shocking to know, Pakatan through DAP have made a draft and launched improvement plan for Malaysian Tamils if they take over Putrajaya.

It was amazing indeed for Pakatan side kicked MIC and willing to make such chances in a view on Malaysian Tamil's progresive and determinated to make changes in dealing with the minority.

Some may say its only political gimic, some may claim this 14 points were GE13 political agenda to capture the vote from Malaysian Tamils.

But, in fact, at least they made a plan. I appreciate at least the blue print was drawn. At least the first stage of planning has been carried out and anounced.

The 14 point area:

1. To resolve the problem of the stateless Indians within 100 days of a Pakatan administration;

2. To establish a National Housing Board which will build decent and affordable housing for marginalised groups, especially for displaced Indian plantation workers;

3. To ensure that all national-type Tamil schools become fully-funded and the infrastructure of every single school is up to par with ‘sekolah kebangsaan' (national schools);

4. To invest in technical and vocational training coupled with apprenticeship programmes to provide an alternative education and career path for school dropouts from low-income Indian families;

5. To provide jobs and raise the wages of low-income Indians by implementing a-RM1,100 minimum wage scheme;

6. To increase the number of Indians in GLCs (government-linked companies), local councils, and public services;

7. To alienate land for existing Hindu temples and burial grounds and find replacement land for temples and burial grounds which have to be relocated;

8. To provide microcredit and other financial assistance schemes to Indian small businesses, with a special focus on women, youths and home-based business;

9. To put in place the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) and to eliminate deaths in police custody and custodial deaths;

10. To establish a special fund to promote Indian equity ownership in the country;

11. To establish a commission to address urban poverty and social problems faced by the Indian community;

12. To establish policies that could economically enable single mothers, including house ownership scheme;

13. To establish or enroll in existing residential schools outstanding Indian students from plantation and urban poor families;

14. To abolish all anti-rakyat legislation and to get rid of discrimination.

Great and more to be add on list. I feel it can be for any reason as long as they can compromise. If this can be done, it will be a great stepping stone for Pakatan to keep hold on Malaysian Tamils support.
