Spurned by BN for decades, Blue Valley's Indians plead for help
CAMERON POLLS | Throughout the Cameron Highlands by-election campaign, BN's slogan has been "tiada janji, lihat bukti (no promises, just look at the evidence)."
But for the Indian community in the Blue Valley region, who make up 81 percent of the electorate in this polling district, the only evidence they saw was empty promises to help them make an honest living.
During a recent visit to the area, Malaysiakini met Ramsamy, 72, and his daughter R Revathi, 49, who live in a dilapidated wooden house that also doubled as their food stall, which feeds workers from the surrounding farms...
@Norman Fernandez- And you deserve the way the Sr and the Jr tokongs treated you as well.
Why you are poor and suffering- below is the reason why you are poor and suffering? These people are now in PH you think they care for you..... Anwar fingered Mahathir for the Bank Negara forex scandal And what about the time when Anwar was the Finance Minister? Was it not Anwar who lied to Parliament to hide the RM31.5 billion forex scandal (worth RM67.5 billion today)? And was it not Anwar who gave out many ‘pink forms’ to his family and cronies, in particular pink forms for TNB and Telekoms shares?Yes, Anwar helped turn his family and friends into multi-millionaires through pink forms and MBOs. Anwar used to accuse Mahathir of making his children and cronies rich. Well, Anwar actually did precisely the same thing. On the TNB and Telekoms shares alone we are talking about hundreds of millions.So, stop all this crap, Anwar. The more you open your mouth the more you sound fake. Barisan Nasional ruled the country for 44 years from 1974 to 2018. And 22 of those 44 years was with Mahathir as Prime Minister.So, when you say, “The whole administrative system had been compromised, with corruption being endemic and kleptocracy ruining the state. Something has to be done. To me, personally, it is satisfying to see that here comes a man to save the country from corruption and kleptocracy,” who are you talking about? Mahathir? The man who ran Malaysia for 22 years of those 44 years?
35% votes BN in 2018. Wonder how many percent voted BN for 61 years. Well, you deserved it.
