Lim Guan Eng's Thaipusam Message In Chinese, Is The Actual Fate Of Indians In DAP
The Chief Minister Of Penang, Lim Guan Eng had issued a Thaipusam message which was only available in Bahasa Melayu, English and Chinese language. Thaipusam, as it's widely known, is the celebration of Lord Muruga, celebrated in a grand manner by Hindus and mainly Tamils around the world. A religious message is often conveyed in the Tamil language, here in Malaysia.
DAP and Lim Guan Eng claims to protect the dignity of the Indian community in his message. He has also claimed that the Golden Chariot is the pride of Tamils in Penang. The message itself being delivered in Mandarin is an insult and pure reflection of the Indian's place in DAP itself.
Lim Guan Eng and P.Ramasamy's portrayal of sanctity is an eye wash to regain back support of the community that is already dwindling. Using Thaipusam and Temple grounds to this effect is in fact a betrayal towards the Indian community. As such, the Penang Hindu Endowment Board has also failed in advising it's leaders to appropriately deliver their message to the community.
This moves on to show the actual fate of the Indians in DAP. The Indians do not have a place and representation in DAP, that is the ugly truth. DAP, Lim Guan Eng and P.Ramasamy owes an apology and an explanation on this grave mistake and insult towards the Hindus and Tamil community at large.
