On Society and Tun Mahathir's decision to quit UMNO

I was at Brickfields yesterday for the Wesak Day celebration. Majority of those who stay in Brickfield are Indians. There seems to be lack of rubbish bin in certain areas. Some buildings badly need to be cleaned up and requires new paint.



Though there was 2 RELA officers on duty, I could still see a few Indians walking around to collect parking money from those who intend to park their vehicle. Mat parking seems to be growing like mushrooms today. I would not mind paying if the parking area has been privatized. But paying to park on a government land...



A few days ago MIC President talked about rebranding MCA. He even requested more PSD scholarship for Indians and a substantial amount of money from the government for equity purpose. I am happy with the parties effort to help the Indian community. However I believe more can be done for the Indian community. The FELDA project in Pahang has helped the Malays to earn a living. Perhaps another project can be established to helped the Indians. Training programs that equipped youth with various skills can also be organized.

Tun Mahathirs decision to quit UMNO was something unexpected. However I believe Tun had his reasons for doing so. Sometimes one loves something and does not want to see it damaged . When they cant seem to do anything to rebuild it then leaving might be an alternative.
