			<description>I smell in the year 2013 all indians will get bumiputra status in Malaysia.

I smell in 2030 Banglas, Nepalese and Vietnamese start to claim for bumiputra status in Malaysia.

I smell in the year 2050 all African negroes will gain bumiputra status in Malaysia. (Not by bising-bising like u people but by convincingly cheating their way in and claiming they are Senois, Jakun, Sakai &amp; Negritos). By then they won't sound like apes communicating with each other but speaks fluent malay.

I smell in the year 2099 the chinese will be recognised as bumiputras of the world.

Relax bros, apa bising-bising,  all in a matter of time.

			<description>Can any malays tell me what is the malay means?
for  sure u guys cant find it in any of yr dictionary...
let me tell u... 1st malay is no malays word... dont shocked..
its is actually Tamil word... malay means gunung in Tamil...Here in malaysia those days an Indian King name it as Malai (gunung)  because, they found so many Hills. So they name it as Malai Nadu later British Pronounce it as Malaya and now We called as Malaysia...
Only Parents gave name for Their Child... i dont know if anak Haram..
So Indian gave 1st identity for Malaysia.. But Malay mean by Indonesian were...pls dont shocked again... Malay means Pelarian. There is a Rivers name (Malay) in Indonesia. So, Those ran from Indonesia to Malaysia they called Malay because for them Malays in Malaysia were (pelarian).

How Malaysia get world wide recognition? its only after Malaysia Build Petronas Twin Tower... What is petronas ?and who is the founder? Who Send the 1st Satellite for Malaysia? Is it Malay???? Go n find the truth..... Its is Own By Dato Anandakrisnan.. By the Name of Malaysia and did it as a Malaysian.. Why This Historical Event Not Listed In Todays Malaysian History? Keep in mind...The 1st name given by Indian n Find world wide Recognition For Malaysia is an Indian too.

Did any Malays Know how Singapore Become an independent country? For sure u guys dont know abt it...because it is an hidden Truth.. DAP Lee Kuan Yu Won The Election To rule the our country... but All the Sultan and decide to give Him an Highland (Singapore) as rasuah Cos that time Malaysia have no money to Pay Him. So, He Decide  to Withdrew His Position Become Prime Minister In Singapore and he changed His Party's Name as PAP. So In Malaysia They Built MCA for Chinese and MIC for Indian Party and merge together as BN. Till now they Rule our Country..

Just for info.. Only Majorities can rule a country. This is Law.. So those Time Indian N Chinese are equal to malays. A Simple Logic...A Doctor wants His son to be a Doctor too, A Lawyer wants His son To be a lawyers, same goes to the Politician...Their Blood want to rule the country too. but how??
Indian + Chinese are equal to Malays Majorities.. So The May 13 Occurred. Most of Indian n Chinese sell Their lands as Cheep as they can and went back to to Indian n china.. those are poor have no choice.. Queen Elizabeth Warning Malaysia To Control the situation or British will Rule The Country... After that All Came back to normal the next step to Give citizenship to Indonesian.. So Now we can see those bugis,jawa ppl in our country..Migrate most Christianity in Sabah and Sarawak by the name of Bumiputera... Actualy most of them are From Philippines.. The Tagalok Language can speak by Sabahan n Sarawakian origin from Philippines..
Here there are Bumiputera.. 

Did Any Malays know how many Tamil Words in Malay Language??
Bumi = in tamil same meaning (Eatrh)
Putera = in tamil same meaning  son
Puteri = in tamil same meaning daughter 
suami =  in tamil same meaning Wife called thier hunny (suami)

wira = same meaning (worrrior)
Perdana Menteri = Pratamer Manteri 

and so many.. but just cant imagine Malays guy u all called
BumiPutera but For Gals Y u still Called as Bumiputera too??
Should be BumiPuteri is it?? U Guys are using Tamil Language i'm so proud abt it..but please use it in proper... Just copy only what...Y so difficult?  - your friend</description>

			<description>We must be realistic. All races got rich and poor people. Most uneducated people are poor. Some became very rich even though they are not educated.

Lets fight for the rights of poor and the rich. I can see that lots of Indians are also well to do, driving BMWs and Merz like other races. They are also professionals and well educated.

So dont always think unfairly.

			<description>[b]Part 3[/b]

The MIC is partly to be blamed since it only bothered about the future Indian and left the current youth stranded. Even the economic status of Indians is in pathetic and it is blamed on the MIC Leader Datuk Seri Samy Vellu for mismanagement and misappropriation of funds in the MAIKA Holdings (The so called Malaysian Indian Investment Arm). Currently the not so deserving and not so qualified S. Vel Paari, son of Samy Vellu, is at the helm of MAIKA Holdings.      

Recently, Tun Mahathir was asked as to why the Indian were not adequately taken care during his tenure as the 4th Prime  Minister of Malaysia.  His immediate reply was â€œSamy Vellu didnâ€™t ask anything much for the Malaysian Indiansâ€ This is very unbelievable and only both of them know the true story.

The government recognizes the significant contribution of the Indians to the economic base of the country. Thus, on its part, it has recruited a considerable number of Indian in its Youth Training Programs.  The government is also willing assist the Malaysian Indians.  It is just that the community has to make the initial and persistent move. They canâ€™t be waiting the aid to reach them without seeking  for it.

The leaders of the community should use step ladder approach when making demands from the government .  The leader should not assume that the ruling government will not accept their demands without trying in a diplomatic yet persistent approach.  

Many of them think the opposition is there for them. Yes, I do agree that the opposition is there for them but to only make noise and get attention. That is all they can do. Any government will not simply give in to the demands of the opposition. 

As for HINDRAF (the banned movement), their movement certainly has a lot of lawyersâ€™ support.  I am quite puzzled as to why these lawyers did not explain the meaning of â€˜banned movementâ€™ to those members. Donâ€™t they know that the movement does not exist legally. Hence no one can claim that I am this of HINDRAF and I am that of HINDRAF. They also cannot do anything in the name of HINDRAF. I f they did, the authorities has every right to take whatever action deemed necessary. 

If the former members of the above movement would want to continue their cause, then, they need to form a new movement (preferably with no â€œforceâ€ful name since it could be misunderstood. Furthermore, it should be seen as a non-political movement unless they register their movement as a political entity. The more they let opposition to directly get involved in their activities, the more the difficulty they will have to face. They should also ensure only adults take part in any form of demonstration or assembly. 

Street demonstration should be used as a last resort and that too with police permit.  

The renaissance of the upcoming generation shows some promise as their parents and the community is providing adequate concern on education and healthy activities.  However, the community needs to be self reliant in various aspects to uplift its social and economic status.

Until then the image of Malaysian Indians will remain, unavoidably, tainted in a descending manner.  Actually, judging from their contribution to the nation and its economy in the past, it is now the governmentâ€™s turn to take care of them.

			<description>They were not even given the basic necessities. None or limited supply of electricity, substandard water quality, too small house to stay, unreliable transport facilities etc. However, alcoholic beverage, Toddy, was made available in most of the estates just to tame the laborers.

[b]Part 2[/b]

To supervise these estate laborers, the British brought the Keralites of India.  They were employed as clerks in the estates. There are a lot of Indian Tamils who could occupy those positions but as we all know that the British practice of â€œDivide and ruleâ€ policy.

In order to assist the British in their urban administration, they brought in the Ceylonese (Sri Lankan Tamils). Again, I needless to say why the Indian Tamils were not brought in for the urban administration positions.

During the world war II, the Japanese forcefully recruited more Indians than any others for the Burma Railway project.
After the synthetic rubber became near perfect substitute of natural rubber, during 1960s, rubber estates were converted into Palm Oil estates. Palm oil was more profitable than rubber. However, It is a tedious job for the workers. No doubt they were paid extra but it was still low by Malaysian standard.  

Many of those families couldnâ€™t send their children to towns for schooling as they couldnâ€™t afford it. Hence, most of them stop schooling after Primary School (If there is no Secondary school nearby).

Many of those in the estates rarely go to town unless it is pay day, Tamil Movie shown in theatres or Festival in town temples.  It is for this reason the Chinese and Malays rarely know the living condition and the plight estate workers.  They only see those Indians who are of middle or high income groups in towns. 

Dr Mahathir Muhammad became the 4th Prime Minister of Malaysia in the year 1982.  His economic policies were mostly industrial development and service based.  His PLUS (North South Highway) project gave a turning point (for good or for bad) to the estate folks along the highway.  

The properties along the PLUS highway became in demand for residential or for commercial purposes.  Thus, a considerable number of estates were sold to developers and industrialists.  It is also during this period, estate workers started to leave for urban life for greener pastures.

The remaining workers of those estates had to put up with low pay and are having a pathetic way of life. Now, many workers from Indonesia, Bangladesh and India Indians are in the estates for much lower wages.

The Indian families which came from estates settled in towns (normally suburbs). For many it was a culture shock, especially to the youth. They were lost as they were new to urban life. They could not adapt themselves with the new environment. This made them frustrated and lonely. Eventually, as expected ,they had to mix with youth in the same boat.  This is where, the problem started for Indian youth. 

Initially, many formed gangs just like the theme of many Tamil films.  Their crime is normally the same as any of the gangs i.e. fight, snatch theft, car theft, riot, extortion etc. I reckon, this will only end during the next generation where the Indian youth would grow up the urban way of life. The MIC too, on its part established two educational institutions i.e. TAFE College and AIMST.

			<description>[b]Never mind I brought it to this blog to make easier for you.[/b]

[i]Nothing But Wind[/i]
 
[b]Malaysian Indian-A summarized chronology[/b]

[b]Part 1[/b]

According to Malayan history, the relationship and the link between India and Malalya (currently Malaysia) commenced around 11th century in the areas of diplomacy, trade, religion and language. 

While the above prolonged until the 1500â€™s but it was on descending trend.  After the Malays have embraced Islam, the Indian and Malayan relationship concentrated mostly on trade. The Tamil and Malayalam Muslims settled in Malaya as they enjoyed brisk business especially by doing petty trade and managing food outlets. A considerable number of North Indians and Tamils (Chettiars and Pillays) too settled in Malaya for trade and finance purposes.

It should be noted that Munshi Abdullah (half Tamil) and half Arab) gave a significant boost to the Malay Language around 1800â€™s.  He enriched the Malay Language with additions to its vocabulary taken from Arabic, Sanskrit, Tamil etc. He also contributed a lot to simplify the language for the layman to use.

During the earlier part of 1900â€™s, during the British Rule, H. N. Ridley decided to plant rubber trees in large scale in Malaya. At that time rubber was in demand as syntactic rubber was not available at that time.

Rubber plantations need a lot of hardworking, strong and brave laborers.  The locals shun working in Rubber Plantations. The British had no other choice but to refer to another of its colony i.e. India to fill up the vacancies. 

The recruitment was carried out in Madras State (Tamil Nadu) and part of Andhra Pradesh. Many of those who volunteered were desperate and uneducated even at Indian standards. They were eventually shipped, together with their family members, to Malaya. These people were paid miserably low compared to their effort and contribution.
