The Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) has sent a 25-point memorandum to the Institutional Reforms Committee (IRC) urging the new government to look into the plight of the bottom 75 percent of the Indian community.
“This B75 segment of the Malaysian Indian poor are in effect the poorest in Malaysia, especially so when they have no political or economic power and do not even have the basic land or roofs over their heads or a social safety net, unlike the other communities.
“The tragedy is we may be fighting a losing battle (for the B75) unless Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad reverses (their suffering) via serious institutional reforms directly via the government machinery.
“We would now like to move forward and also assist Mahathir’s leadership especially in seriously redressing and undoing the racial injustices to the B75,” Hindraf de facto leader P Uthayakumar told reporters today outside Menara Ilham where the IRC is based.
