I have been reading with cynical amusement the comments section on the Malaysiakini reports regarding Prime Minister Najib Razak's sincere appeal to the "Hindu" community to trust the BN government.

Najib is being mocked for asking for the trust of the "Hindus" but I suspect readers may have misunderstood our honourable PM. He is merely applying the same standards as he would on his own community, seeing as how there are so many Indonesian, Filipinos and Burmese, he assumes that all Indians are Hindus as are all these constitutionally created Malay-Muslims. So I take no offense.

Before The Obedient Wives Club become the fashionable object of public scorn, the MIC - the oldest political party in Malaysia - had already staked a claim to that title. And for the past 30 or so years, who can claim that it has not served its lord and master (Umno) with the utmost diligence.

One only has to conjure up the well-documented image of MP P Kamalanathan kissing the hand of DPM Muhyiddin Yassin (in a Malay wife like fashion) to understand the depth of the MIC's commitment to the institution of Umno matrimony...
