MP spars with deputy minister over fate of Indian Malaysians

An Indian Malaysian opposition MP went head to head with a BN deputy minister in the Dewan Rakyat today, debating alleged government failures to uplift the fate of Malaysians of Indian descent.

“Indians have been marginalised, they have become third class citizens,” decried M Kulasegaran (DAP-Ipoh Barat, right) during Question Time today.

He said the failures of the BN-led government in this regard were clearly self-evident, with 70 percent of Indians still earning less than RM700 a month, and the minority community being plagued with social ills.

“Indians have the highest numbers of gangsters, the highest number of unemployed, the highest number of alcoholics and the highest number of single mothers.”
