Like a good malaysian, let me express my apologies if anything I say is incorrect or causes offence. Perharps above all, I must express a great cause of humility.
As a Malaysian, I intuitevely understand what Hindraf is attempting to do. I intuitevely understand why Hindraf is doing what it is attempting to do. I intuitevely understand how Hindraf is going about the entire process of revolutionising its society and agenda. As an individual, I have of course followed with a great interest over the last 2 weeks the great events occuring in and around Malaysia.
For a very long time, most of what is now, Malaysia lived under system in which we had to ask for 'advice' from the imperial power before we could do anything. Under this system of 'advice', all advice solicited or unsolicited had to be followed. This is a good example why Hindraf leaders turned to the imperial power i.e The United Kingdom, The United States and the United Nations.
In the last couple of hundred years, the only auhoritarian rule I have known have been British Authoritarian. Since our independence 50 years ago, I noticed the political switch from authoritarian Goverments to independent democratic Goverments is not easily achieved. Hindraf attempts to disguise their intention by talking about democracy, ethnic cleansing, power abusive and human rights. Now they are openly proposing to the imperial power.
If I may, I do not want to have a democratic system where the public good has to be sacrificed to a lobby group like Hindraf. I do not believe that the rights of the individual come before the rights of society and the rights of society come before the rights of nation.
Therefore, for what it is worth, I believe that we were lucky to have been born a democracy and to have evolved a productive Malaysian democracy. If not, you may see, the Prime Minister of Malaysia will be busy dealing with riots and bombs. Otherwise, the British Authoritarian Goverment should go on. And I believe, many had varying opinions on what should we do with Hindraf?
