| Najib insults the Indian community with Zul Nordin's candidacy Posted: 25 Apr 2013 11:16 PM PDT INCUMBENT for Subang parliamentary seat, R. Sivarasa questions caretaker prime minister, Najib Tun Razak's defence for Zul Nordin, who recently stirred up a controversy over his derogatory remarks of Hindu deities. He said, at least the MIC has some conscience over the selection of Zul Nordin as a BN Candidate for Shah Alam. R. Sivarasa, was commenting on the latest development where a local leader and 103 others in MIC Shah Alam had quit because of the selection of Zul Nordin. Sivarasa said his only explanation why Zul Nordin was selected could be attributed to Najib's lack of sensitivity towards the people's sentiments, like what happened in Penang recently when the audience already shouted once, "NO!", yet he still asked, "Are you ready for Barisan Nasional?" In Shah Alam, Zul Nordin is contesting for the parliamentary seat held by incumbent, Khalid Samad of PAS. Sivarasa said that even the Malays in Shah Alam cannot accept a candidate who calls the Indians, by the derogatory name, "Kerling." "If Zul Nordin is sincere and a winnable candidate, he can stand by his own track record," he said. "However, what we noticed is that both Najib as a caretaker prime minister and Zul Nordin only made good at the eleventh hour, after what the Barisan Nasional Government had done to the marginalized Indian community the past 56 years." By making Zul Nordin the champion of Indian causes, Sivarasa said that Najib is willing to ditch even MIC for championing the cause of the Indians. "This means that the MIC is no longer relevant," he said. "And if MIC is irrelevant, it means both UMNO and MCA are now totally irrelevant. Zul Nordin might as well champion the cause of the Chinese as well." Sivarasa challenged Zul Nordin to a public debate. "We want the people of Subang and Shah Alam to judge what Pakatan Rakyat have done for the India community compared to what UMNO in the past had done. It is fitnah for Najib and UMNO to say that several Hindu temples were being destroyed at the instruction of the Selangor State Government," he said. "If Tan Sri Khalid (caretaker MB of Selangor) had given the instruction to destroy the Hindu temples, why did he have to face the protest of a group of residents from Section 23 of Shah Alam when he tried to solve the issue relating to the relocation Hindu temple?" Sivarasa wants voters to now ask Najib who were the people involved in the parade of the head of the Hindu's scared cow. "With the General Election, Hindus should now ask Najib who were these people who stood behind the Home Minister? Despite the fact that Shah Alam parliamentary constituency incumbent, Khalid Samad had challenged Hishammuddin to name any PAS member who participated in the parade, Hishammuddin had failed to provide even a single name." PAS, Sivarasa added, would not tolerate such a despicable act against the Hindu community. "At that very juncture, not even Najib had spoken up against the Umno members who finally had to face the music when public pressure mounted," he said. "Again, why was Najib silent when A. Kugan died in prison, and why had the Hindraf manifesto he signed as a caretaker prime minister not taken into account the human rights aspects of the marginalized Indian community?" Najib should live up to his reputation, before he started to protect his candidate, urging the people to believe that Zul Nordin, of all persons would champion the cause of the marginalized community. "When Kugan died, Zul Nordin did not even speak up on his behalf!" Sivarasa said. "In fact, the family of the deceased had great difficulties asking for a second postmortem." from the Campaign Office of R. Sivarasa contact: 012 905 9948 (Peter Chong) |
