I refer to the Malaysiakini report Indians will vote against BN: Pak Lah .

Finally, our prime minister has said something ‘correct, correct, correct’ when he stated that the number of votes from Indians for the ruling party will likely drop in the coming polls amid increasing ethnic tensions in Malaysia.

After all these years of hypnotic remote control governance, he has finally heard some of the grievances of the community. That’s the funny thing about elections, it makes the politicians almost humane at times. Or maybe it's just those big ears our PM has which allowed him to hear the thousands of voices, even in his sleep.

Yes Mr PM, I'm Indian and I will NOT vote for the BN or any of your racist ‘ keris -wielding’ leaders for I have had enough of your apartheid policies and corrupt leadership. Your desperate attempt at gaining popularity via empty promises only makes you look foolish and desperate.

Compared to you, Dr Mahathir Mohamad looks almost like Mahatma Gandhi. At least he didn't let his racist leaders and others run wild with weapons in their hands, asking for blood.

I read the BN-backed newspapers in the mornings and almost feel like I'm in another country. There is so much coverage on Indians and their plight nowadays. Your main mandor S Samy Vellu, after 30 years, is now desperately scrambling around and has actually come up with a seven-point plan to raise the standard of living for the Indians in Malaysia.

However, he conveniently omitted the most important point and that is his resignation from MIC and the withdrawal of MIC from the BN. What happened to the RM100 million collected for Maika? Whose pocket did that go into? What happened to the Telekom shares? Whose pocket? It goes on.

For as long as Samy Vellu remains in MIC, any equity allocated for the Indians will be siphoned off by him and his cronies. Secondly, as long as MIC remains a component of the BN where Umno rules the roost, the Indians will only get crumbs during election times.

Samy Vellu, read my lips, ‘No one wants you around.’
