Former deputy minister P Waythamoorthy said the RM35 million allocated to resolve the Taman Permata flats issue in Dengkil is “news” to him, because this was never mentioned in his discussions with the prime minister on the matter.
While welcoming the allocation however, he stressed that this is only one of many issues that his NGO, Persatuan Hindraf Malaysia, sought to resolve.
“Dengkil is not the only thing. There is also the Bukit Jalil estate and so many estates left in the country, where people need to be resettled properly and houses built for them properly.
“Settling one problem alone will not settle the entire Indian community’s problems. We have a very long list, because we have been overlooked for over 50 years,” he told a press conference today.
He was asked to comment on Housing and Local Government Minister Abdul Rahman Dahlan’s statement yesterday, defendingPrime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.
Abdul Rahman (left) said that Najib gave his ministry RM35 million to resolve the issue after Waythamoorthy had urged the prime minister to take action, so it is not true that Najib had not been paying attention to Indian issues.
