The Malaysian Indians have to face the historical facts about their existence in Malays and now Malaysia
1. They were imported from the villages in Southern India and sold to the Rubber and Oil Palm plantations to a life of slavery and misery thru debts which they could no pay
2. After independence the new masters the Malaysian Indian Congress sold these poor souls to a continued life of slavery and misery to the new owners of the rubber and oil palm estates owners and also to the Malaysian government by not politically defending this and getting them a good deal during Independence
3. MIC have been using them as cannon folder and keeping the enslaved and poor so that come elections time a few peanuts thrown at them will we sufficient for them to vote BN-MIC
4. With no backbone as the backbone MIC have sold them out and they were stigmatized and open for abuse by the government and police force as the government knows the monkeys in MIC are more concern about their bag of peanuts then for the Malaysian Indians
Who to blame but the Malaysian Indians for voting and keep the ruling party BN in power since independence and not making an effort to vote to change the government. Where are MIC, PPP and Hindraf when you all get abused and killed

“I was arrested together with Balamurugan and Taminarasan on Feb 6 this year. We were brought to Bandar Baru Klang police station and we were interrogated by officers from Klang Utara and Klang Selatan police station.
“At the Bandar Baru police station, I was punched and slapped by one of the officers there. I pleaded to them to stop hitting me. When I asked why I was arrested, they did not answer me.
“Later I was taken to Banting. The officers wanted me to show them the house of Kanapathy who is also a friend of ours. The police later detained Kanapathy and we were brought back to Klang Utara.
“When I reached Klang Utara, they gave us food. But when I asked Balamurugan to eat he refused. Taminarasan also refused. They lied down and they were in bad shape. I saw blood on his lips and it was swollen,” he told an inquiry at the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission ( EAIC) headquarters.
During the inquiry, several police officers were summoned to be identified, including some from the D9 unit from the police station.
Ang was able to identify almost every officers involved in the arrest and the interrogation, including the officer who allegedly punched him.
Ang later told the inquiry that he and Kanapathy had to carry Balamurugan into a van as they were transferred to Shah Alam central police lock-up.
In bad shape
He also told the hearing that he requested the police to provide medical assistance to Balamurugan.
“I ate the food (given) but Bala (Balamurugan) and Taminarasan did not. After that we were told that they will take us to Shah Alam.
“I had to help Balamurugan as he can’t walk properly. I told the cops that Balamurugan was in bad shape and need some help but nothing was done,” he said.
The next morning, Ang, Balamurugan, Taminarasan and Kanapathy were taken to Klang magistrate’s court for remand application, However the magistrate ordered the cops to send Balamurugan to the hospital and his remand order was rejected.
Instead of being hospitalised, Balamurugan was kept at one of the detectives room while Ang together with Taminarasan and Kanapathy were taken to Shah Alm central lock-up.
Ang later informed the hearing that he learnt about Balamurugan’s death from one of the detainees he met at the Klang magistrate’s court a day later.
On Feb 11 this year, four days after Balamurugan’s death, North Klang police chief ACP Mohd Yusoff Mamat disclosed that more than 10 policemen at the North Klang district police headquarters were under investigation over the death.
Mohd Yusoff, however, said none of the policemen had been suspended as investigations were ongoing.
He said claims by certain quarters that there were bruises and injuries on the body of Balamurugan should not arise until the autopsy report was released from the hospital.

“I heard my uncle pleading and shouting like he was being beaten and was under a lot of pain. I was there inside the police station with Balamurugan’s wife.
“I asked about Balamurugan and the officers told me to wait. There was nothing we could do. I recognised his voice, even the wife told me that the voice was from Balamurugan.
“I was having an uneasy feeling about it. The police did not tell us why Balamurugan was arrested,” she told an inquiry held at the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission ( EAIC) headquarters this afternoon.
