Homemaker left in the lurch

HOUSEWIFE Mathavee Perumal @ Norfauziana Abdullah, 40, is in need of financial aid urgently and Putera MIC is appealing on her behalf for generous Malaysians to assist her.

The Bandar Kinrara resident gave birth to a baby boy on Sept 15, and has four other children.

Her husband Ibrahim Yaakub, 46, who used to work as a trader, has been lying in a coma at a hospital in Kuala Lumpur since March 19 following an accident at home.

“Ibrahim passed out after he fell down at home. He was rushed to the hospital and had an operation, where the doctor discovered a blood clot in his brain,” said Norfauziana’s sister-in-law Syamsuriah Mustaffa.

Some financial assistance: Kamalanathan (second from right) presenting Norfauziana the cash. With them are SK Assunta 1 Parent-Teacher Association committee members Dina Rozario (second from left) and Hilary Xavier Joseph.

“He has slipped into a coma and has been declared brain dead,” she said.

Syamsuriah said Norfauziana had been running back and forth between taking care of her husband in the hospital and her children at home.

“When she was warded in the same hospital as her husband to deliver her baby, her children stayed at my place in Pantai Dalam,” said Syamsuriah

Norfauziana was supposed to be discharged on Sept 17, but she did not have the money to pay for her hospital bills then.

Meanwhile, the SK Assunta 1 Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) found out about Norfauziana’s situation through her daughter.

They tried to highlight her case via some local magazines and contacted Putera MIC national coordinator P. Kamalanathan to seek his assistance.

“I visited Norfauziana on Sept 17 and found out that RM1,010 was needed to settle her bill alone.

“I called my contacts and, within 24 hours, managed to raise RM1,100 to get Norfauziana discharged on Sept 19.”

Even though training centre Allied View Centre Sdn Bhd contributed some money for her daily expenses, Kamalanathan hoped the public could still assist Norfauziana.

“Her home in Bandar Kinrara was put up for auction sometime this year as she couldn’t settle the monthly instalments with the bank,” he said.

“She tried applying for a low-cost flat with the Kuala Lumpur City Hall, but her application was rejected on grounds that she owned a house within a 35km radius of the KL city centre (even though it was already put up for auction),” Kamalanathan said.

Those who would like to help can call Norfauziana at 017-364 6275.

Ampang Sri Maha Kaliamman Temple Issue

*NOTE : This post reflects my personal opinion, and not Putera MIC's, it's leaders or the members*


As most of you all know , this issue has been brought up by MIC president,Datuk Sri S.Samy Vellu few days back. Pemuda MIC Selangor even made Police report on this incident.

Now , Selangor state goverment is trying to "wash" their hands over this matter.

Our brother in Selangor state government , Dr Xavier Jayakumar said this to Malaysiakini earlier. ( my questions/comments in RED )

The Ampang Jaya Municipal Council (MPAJ) ordered the demolition of the 19-year old Sri Maha Kaliamman temple without the knowledge or directive of the Selangor state government. ( Is this how you guys run a state government? Dont know what is happening at grassroot level. Only kindergarden kids give answers like this , Saya Tak Tahu! )

He said the temple was also not registered with the Selangor state council. ( If it is not registered,it wont be taken care/protected? Good Answer !Pity those temples who have not registered yet! Beware of temple destroyer)

And it is not a temple, it is a shrine which it is located on a forest reserve. (It is just a shrine??? I have no comments on this. I leave my brothers in Hindraf or any other brother from Pakatan Rakyat to answer this statement themselves!! )
I must say Indian voters who supported Dr.Xavier Jayakumar during last General Election must be very proud!!

I can keep on asking 1001 question in this same issue. But I leave the questions AND answers to my good readers, for, they are the best judge in this reality show.

I posted this article as blog post in my personal blog. Decided to share it with general public and Puterans publishing it here

Indian folk back to seek help


IPOH: Many Indian voters in the country who abandoned the MIC during the March 8 general election are now turning back to the party, claims party president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu.

He said “hundreds of people” had started thronging the party’s offices everyday, knowing that only the MIC could help them.

“In the last elections, about 50% of the Indian community rejected the MIC and supported the Opposition.

“But many want to return now,” he told reporters at a hotel here yesterday after opening a workshop on re-branding the party.

The Indian community, Samy Vellu said, has realised that it needed to have a close relationship with the Federal Government through the MIC in order to improve its livelihood.

“They admit to having been confused and in disarray, that they were influenced into voting for the Opposition but I tell them that it does not matter.

“When asked why they had come back looking for us, their answer was that the MIC has an administration, offices and an experienced leadership, and has continued looking after the people despite having lost in the elections.

“This is the reason why they are still interested in forging a relationship with the MIC,” he said.

Samy Vellu said response to the re-branding workshops nationwide was also encouraging, and urged grassroots leaders to discard their old mindset and “go back to thinking the people are our bosses”.

He admitted that the MIC had erred in not using the Internet and electronic media to reach out to the Indian community during the elections.

He also announced that the party would launch its own Internet portal in October.
____________________________________________

My opinion is, after people read this article, they will start to say " Huh MIC people still cheating indian community" Like We Said, you all can say anything about MIC, but please pay a visit to MIC HQ near PWTC and see how many people comes there with problems. Most of the indian's who came there, are facing problem's like health,financial problem,children's education problem.Every problem will be listened & evaluvate by the party president himself. The whole day in whole week ,he will do the same thing everyday which is to meet with people with diffrentt problems.

I'm wiling to share a situation which i saw with my own eyes,A single mother who willing to sent her daughter to continue her studies in russia, she had arrange all the course fee's for her daughter, but she cant arrange the flight ticket which cost around Rm4000++ , after dato seri hear's everything from her side, he immediatly approve the amount for the flight price.The women's tear drops when she came out from the office and said "Finnaly there is a person who willing to help me". This is not a story for publisti or what, but its a true story. So my advice is please dont see everthing from outside,please step in ,and see everything from our part too. Thank you

Shah Alam Division Putera MIC Launching Postponed

PAS - BREAKS UP!

Fractures re-emerge within PAS over Sept 16 plan
Jimadie Shah Othman | Sep 17, 08 3:42pm

Fractures are re-appearing between party spiritual leader Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat and Terengganu PAS Commisioner Mustafa Ali - which many thought had simmered down after PAS-Umno talks stalled.

The latest flare-up began with Mustafa's critique of Anwar Ibrahim's government takeover plans for Sept 16 - carried by PAS organ Harakah in their Sept 12 edition and Malay daily Utusan Malaysia on Sept 11.

pas muktamar 2008 nik azizAn immediate response from Nik Aziz was to describe the party election chairperson as "Umno's mouthpiece" and "whose voice echoes that of the Umno president".

Nik Aziz went further to suggest that Terengganu PAS "had chosen the wrong person to be commissioner", ending with a query if Mustafa was set to quit PAS and join Umno.

His full statement was toned down in Harakah, and several mentions linking Mustafa to Umno were omitted. Mustafa is the chairperson of Harakah's board of directors.

Various blogs have been carrying the full version of Nik Aziz's statement.

Nik Aziz repeated his full criticism of Mustafa during a talk he delivered at PAS' training centre in Gombak last Sunday - two days after his controversial statements were published.

Contacted by Malaysiakini on Monday, the Terengganu commissoner declined to comment.

mustafa ali and pas 100707Mustafa's initial analysis as reported by Harakah and Utusan on why the Sept 16 takeover was unlikely was based on two arguments. One, Parliament was not in session, therefore no vote of no-confidence could be conducted.Two, never before has any BN legislator ever crossed over.

Removal order

A Harakah journalist Wan Nordin Wan Yaacob - when he knew the Nik Aziz statement would not be carried in full - posted it in his blog on Sept 13. A day later he was asked to remove the statement by his chief executive officer Ahmad Lutfi Othman.

"Several excuses were given, but I am sure he (Ahmad Lufit) was faced with a dilemma. I sadly took out the said article and now feel the freedom to voice out has been restricted," said Wan Nordin in his blog.

Another journalist who wished to remain anonymous was contacted by a party leader who "requested that the issue was not played up". The Kelantan menteri besar's statement was described as extreme.

"I am just a small writer caught between the political ideologies of two factions..." said the journalist.

Wan Nordin, who wrote the article entitled Mursyidul am (Nik Aziz) wants Pakatan Rakyat strengthened: criticises Mustafa did not disclose which PAS leaders contacted him and the other journalist.

Malaysiakini could not reach Wan Nordin yesterday.

'Against Muktamar'

The widely distributed statement showed Niz Aziz's concern about Harakah's support for Pakatan Rakyat's drive to topple the BN government

"I cannot imagine how Harakah can play its role as the party organ if this Terengganu PAS commissioner can take a stand that goes against the decision of the party muktamar (general assembly).

"I believe this will affect its discussions, news articles, stories and articles. What with the twice-weekly publication, this will erode Harakah's image even faster. Logically, this would lead to lower readership.

"I believe a decision needs to be made regarding this matter," said Nik Aziz.

husam musa bangsar 080408 leftThere are those that argue that these are not the words of the spiritual leader but of the 'Erdogan' faction - a reference to the younger moderate group led by PAS vice-president Husam Musa - which is aligned to Nik Aziz.

"I do not believe these are the words of Tuan Guru Nik Aziz or an expression of his thoughts and feelings."

"The Nik Aziz that we all know has never attacked anyone personally, what more a fellow PAS leader," reads an Anti-Husam blog which introduced the 'Erdogan' term - referring to reformist Islamist Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

It further clarified, "I believe Husam and/or his Erdogan group played a big role in issuing the statement... whether Nik Aziz is aware of it or not. It is not possible for Nik Aziz to have used the term 'standing ovation' as contained in his statement.

(However it has been confirmed that Nik Aziz did make the statement, and also used the term 'standing ovation', in his speech at Gombak.)

This development confirms clear differences of opinion in PAS over the Sept 16 plan and this may impact its commitment to Pakatan.

Putera MIC ro recruit 5,000 Indian youths

MALACCA: Putera MIC is looking to add 50 new divisions and recruit about 5,000 Indian youths aged 18 to 30 by the middle of next year.

Chief P. Kamalanathan said: "We target to open 50 new Putera MIC divisions in the next 10 months. The response has been overwhelming, especially from Selangor and Johor."Most of our members are graduates, and this will help the movement become a strong and reputable force for the MIC." The Alor Gajah Putera MIC division was the 10th division to be opened since Putera MIC was formed in 2006, he said.

"Most of the members comprise Universiti Teknikal Malaysia and Universiti Multimedia graduates," he added.
State Putera MIC chief Rama Sockalingam said they expected to open more divisions in Malacca, particularly in Tangga Batu and Bukit Katil."We are also looking at opening new divisions in Jasin, Masjid Tanah and Kota Melaka. But we will only do this after we find suitable leaders to head the divisions."

Meanwhile, on the Manya Blogger Awards 2008 initiated by Putera MIC to recognise Indian bloggers, he said the "People's Choice Blogger Award" was open to all races.He said the award was aimed at creating awareness among the Indian community of blogging.
