When I was giving thought of whether to go and join the HINDRAF rally, I first went to read their actual memorandum. Unfortunately I found myself disagreeing with their very emotional and racialist approach to the issues surrounding the indian community in Malaysia. There was also talk of them wanting to do away with the Federal Const. (FC).
Now in my mind, the FC is last base, for freedom, democracy and unity in this country. If we do away with that, what is there left ? How sure are you that the next person to draft a FC will do one better. With the way parliament is demarcated today, i doubt a new FC would be any better.
But, getting back to HINDRAF, what do I support ?
- I support their right to assemble
- I support the right to peaceful demonstrations.
- I support their right to freedom of speech and freedom of thought.
- I support the right for every individual to practice the religion they believe in
TODAY !! Has been such a violent and sad day for this country. THe police and the executive have you such forceful and high-handed tactics that is disgraceful to us as Malaysians. This is the government YOU PUT IN POWER !!
