Waytha's appointment gives voiceless 'chance to be heard'

Persatuan Hindraf Malaysia chairperson P Waythamoorthy, sworn in as a senator in Dewan Negera this morning, has described his appointment as a sign of honour for the struggle of the Indian Malaysian poor and the “voiceless”.

"I pledge to do my best. I think this is an honour for the struggle of the Indian poor in Malaysia," he told reporters at the Dewan Negara.

Waythamoorthy, who was appointed a deputy minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, said the community has come a long way and has struggled for a long time.

"This is a good opportunity for the voice of the voiceless to be heard."
