Samy: Who will stand up for Indians?

KUALA LUMPUR: The time is not right for a single party system in Barisan Nasional as suggested by Gerakan, MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu said here. He said in today’s political situation, such a move would dilute the rights of the Indian community. Samy Vellu said a smaller community like the Indians have to fight for their rights and that could only be done through MIC.

"Indians have to fight for their rights"? "Could only be done through MIC"?

Are malaysians really so vicious that we will ignore other races' plight?

I think if a similar thing is spoken in US/Europe, well, it would not go well at all.

We don't see anything like Obama saying, "Vote for me so that blacks' rights are protected", nor Hillary saying, "If you don't vote for me, whites will not have a big say in government".
