PM Najib Razak had visited Penang yesterday. Few weeks back a meeting was held with Indian NGO's to discuss on the preparation ( Click Here ). I rather not comment on the meetings. We ( Munis, Murali, Mr Andy, Siva & Nathan ) had prepared our own questions cum request to PM. We had emailed the organizer and had tweet to PM about it. This is a golden opportunity and should have use it wisely. PM have been going down to the ground taking into account the need of the Rakyat.
I have a high respect for Datuk Non Panjang who were able to gather a strong 25k crowd and so did the Chinese community. As for us, some BN backstabbers in the last GE were trying to take lime light. Someone were more interested for lobbying a seat by bring in the people to request to PM. I will refrain from commenting all the mistakes and other issues relating to the Indian NGO meet with PM. My team and i believe we could have done better and make this meet a fruitful one. Many had commented in FB and twitter on why only 2 questions were posted to PM. Anyway, this were our request :-
Graveyard
Indian community in Penang are lack of burial site. We would like to request PM for a land to be used for the mention purposed. Currently burial land are lack of space and forcing the space to be re-used.
Government & GLC Contracts
The Government should offer government and GLC contracts worth RM 150,000.00 to be given to Indian contractors. There are many capable contractors out there who can perform and commit to the projects given with efficiency and quality.
Business Grants
The Government should provide start up business grants for Indian Youths. Currently there are too many red tapes in applying for loan let it be government agencies or private sector. This has cause many capable, inspiring youth fail to become entrepreneurs.
University Intake
Increase of intake at Universities.
Job Opportunities
Increase of intake for jobs in Government sector.
Increase of job opportunities in GLC's.
We believe, by uplifting the living standard and economy of the Indian Community, will enable us to channel back our contribution through donations to Schools and Temples. The community need education, job and business opportunities to take all of us to greater heights.
