From Hindraf to Makkal Sakhti - Turning crisis into opportunity to evolve and strengthen
Membujur lalu, melintang patah!
In tai chi, when your opponent pushes, you pull; when he pulls, you push. An opponent’s strength is used against him, and often, victory is merely a matter of where to stand.
Back in the early days of Hindraf, I wrote at length of how with just a few small changes, Uthayakumar could be Malaysia’s Gandhi, and Hindraf could become the more encompassing Makkal Sakhti - a movement to empower all the people of Malaysia, to stand up for justice.
That moment comes again. An opportunity to build on success, and be reborn into something even greater and more effective.
No fire against fire, no hitting our heads against stone walls - let us evolve, adjust our position to our advantage, and pull as our opponent pushes.
So what if one organisation is banned - let’s start another. Let’s call it Makkal Sakhti - People Power.
Let Makkal Sakhti be open to all Malaysians, and let Makkal Sakhti never forget the struggle of poor and downtrodden Indians, nor the struggle of poor and downtrodden Malaysians from any background.
Let Makkal Sakhti fight the ISA to the end. Let Makkal Sakhti denounce corruption at every turn and corner. Let Makkal Sakhti protect the poor, defend the weak, and uphold justice for all.
Let Makkal Sakhti give them no space and no excuse to vilify us. Let us give up not one inch of moral high ground.

We should actually call it KUASA RAKYAT in true Malaysian spirit .
Hindraf is actually not an offical organization to start off so there is no question of banning them. However, Hindraf do appeared to behave like thug, many Indians do like to use hindraf ban to achieve their objective, they are the ultimate racist.
everything
hindraf struggle
Dear 2nd Class Malaysian,
Your Racist Religious bigotry shines through!!!
when ever anwars makes a point about he’s party fighting for all malaysia. He always emphahs the party fights for malays. Because he is a malay first and foremost.
And then he proceed to be inclusive to other races.He always says he will also fight to benefit other races so no one is left behind. In a brilliant stroke he is able to merge to conflicting groups of people.
Hindraf emulate anwar’s stances. State that they are fighting for the indians. So that Hindraf leaders do not lose the support of the indian. But in the same time also say they also want to fight for all malaysians regardless of race to lift them up.
It is indeed a serious crying shame
When innocent people are put to blame
Based on non-criminal basis and claims
While they champion human rights as their flame

Fairdinkum ,
I herby solemnly curse that umno and
syed hamid albar will perish soon and the later even very soon. The old owl kaka mahathir will not die fast as he will bear witness to see the crumblings of his own doings.
