Indians want issues to be resolved



KUALA LUMPUR: MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Velly has admitted that the recent street demonstrations organised by an illegal group, to a certain extent had affected the loyalty of Indians towards the Government.

He said based on feedback, there were Indians who had begun questioning why the issues raised by the community had not been resolved by the Government.

“There were those who questioned why their applications had not been entertained. So, I have asked the Prime Minister to give a bit more to the Indians (in development programmes) considering their history (in the country). The Prime Minister has agreed to consider this,” he said.

Interviewed in the 60 Minit Bersama Menteri programme on RTM1 last night, Samy Vellu said most of those who were involved in the illegal street demonstrations had regretted their actions.

The Works Minister said he had also explained to them that most of the issues raised had been discussed by the Cabinet over the last several months.

“We must remember that we will not get 100% of what we asked for. Where can you find a Government that fulfils 100% of the people's requests?

“The problems are not just faced by the Indians but also by the Chinese and Malays. They also make demands and they, too, don't get 100%.”

Samy Vellu described the illegal group as “sightless” for not being able to see the progress achieved by the Indians in the last 50 years.
