TDM remarks have again spoken his mind. His ramblings have actually risen many questions in our minds.

Firstly, during his 23 years as PM, has he used the Sri Lankan problem to systemmatically marginalise the Indian community in Malaysia whilst promoting his Ketuanan Melayu nonsense?
Secondly, is he using this cheap publicity he is seeking to divert peoples attention away from the accusations that are being hurled at him from all quarters?
Thirdly, Has TDM singled out Tamils to practice the classic "divide and rule" to ensure the Indian minority is made weaker. In Malaysia and Sri Lanka the larger group of Indians are Tamils whilst in UAE it's the Keralites and in Mauritius it's the Bhojpuris but we are all Indian origin or PIOs.
Fourthly, For a person of the stature of an ex PM this racist remark made publicly speaks volumes of his real self. Can this rambling old man be considered as a statesman especially when he makes such statesments at this advanced age? Most people at this age would have resigned gracefully and focussed their attention on worship and spreading goodness and peace around the world. This is the true TDM and it's frightening what would have gone through his mind from 1982 to 2003 when he was the PM.
Finally, TDM is solely responsible for the racial discord in this country, if he had been an able statesmen he would have harmonised our multi racial society but he has done so much damage to even proclaim this as an Islamic country just to win votes from the PAS supporters. He has indeed been a desperate man always seeking to be in the limelight and all the physical entities he has helped to manifest are meaningless if we cannot forge racial harmony.
Hindraf was formed by people who were desperate to assist the marginalised community in dire need of some form of help. There are many people like RPK who are always risking everything to promote racial harmony. NOBODY CHOSE HIS RACE OR HIS FACE AND TDM being half Indian has done more damage to the Indian Malaysian than any other Politician visibly.
Hindraf was formed by a group of people oppressed, suppressed and marginalised from the mainstream of Malaysian society. Under Tunku Abdul Rahman, Tun Abdul Razak & Tun Hussein Onn to some extent there was some fair chance of competition on an equal footing. TDM pulled the rug completely from under our feet and we are a marginalised community today. Hindraf represents every single marginalised Malaysian, not just the Indians alone but the breaking of temples indiscriminately with brazen arrogance was the last straw that broke the camels back. Singling the Tamils and linking with LTTE is the work of sick minds poisoned with evil intentions.

Now our 5 of our Hindraf brothers are under ISA detention like common criminals and terrorists. It's a shame we have foolish leaders who are unable to think rationally. The community will never rest untill the Hindraf 5 are released at least for a fair trial.
It is well known Hindraf has no quarrel with any race including the Malays but with the Politicians who were manipulating the masses for their own means and ends and this includes Indian political leaders as well.
History has shown Indians and Tamils have been around SEA for the last more than 1000 years without any quarrel and now we are accused of racism by the Bapa Racisme who has destroyed the multiracial fabric of Malaysia which has been built so carefully by our forefathers.
Anyone not proud of his ancestry has no dignity at all.
