The Malaysian Indian community make up about 7% of the population in Malaysia. These Indians have been fellow residents of Malaya ever since the British Colonial era. The Chinese descendant were brought in the same time as ours were brought in to Malaya. The Chinese community on the whole are obviously doing way better than the Indian community in Malaysia in the current era. Who can deny that. Will our Indian community ever reach to their level of success and achievement we see today?
I am certainly not denying the fact that there are a handful of us whohas achieved a certain level in their life to be claim themselves successful people.
Look at Mr Anandha Krishnan for example. He takes the second spot of Top Ten Richest Person In Malaysia. Mr Tony Fernandez, CEO of Air Asia who brought the low budget airline company up to a level that it is able to shake the Malaysian Airlines control of Malaysian flight market and now Air Asia is competing at global standards. However comments and further details regarding successful Indian will have to stop here as my interest is more on the problem that we Indians face yesterday, today and tommorrow as well if actions are not taken to solve the issuse.
This article is based on observation and understanding of the Indian community around my age group ( 17-30). Ask them if they have a problem in achieving something they start blaming the government, the environment, their peers, teachers, why even parents but they NEVER blame themselves when the fact is that is where the root of the problem is.
The main problem with us is that we have this very deadly disease. Its known as the KPC virus or better known as "kay poh chi." Yes you heard me right, our people are such nosy people that they rather spent their time taking extra interest in other people's personal affair rather than their own. It's true, very true indeed. If those of you reading this realise you fall in that category, Thank God! Now that you know its time to get up and make a change
The next problem faced by our community is that one Indian is always ever ready to bring another Indian down. We do not compete to be sucessful istead we cut other people down along the way of us reaching our success. Have you ever seen such cruel people before? This is why the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. Personally, I don't see what is wrong for you to help another Indian. There are two ways to see these things.
1. You help the poor
2. You help your friends or relations
There are people who only help the poor but refuse to acknowledge the success or refuse to help their own peers by degrading them of putting it in layments term bitching about your friends are all bunch of hypocrites. You people are trying to be nice and all angelic on the outside, but in the inside you guys are nothing but a two-faced, two-timing person. You are not all that bad, Cheers for you for helping the poor (regardless wheter you are sincere or not) and Shame on You All for bitching about your peers ( which includes your colleagues).
Now that i have unveiled two of the main problem faced by our people let me tell you the third, as i have mentioned we love spreading the blame around. Blaming the government, the people, our friends. etc. What we need is a change take a look at ourselves in the mirror and realise what is wrong with us. Take a look at ourselves and take time to point out our own flaws. "Unnmai sonnal Kasakum" or truth is bitter as most of us Indians are familliar with this term. Learn to swallow the truth and you will understand what i meant by u can make a difference because then you would be busy correcting you own flaws rather then bitching and analysing other people's flaws. This again has alot to do with being nosy.
As someone very close to me has told me, Never Forget Your Roots. Which is very true. To be honest to those who think speaking tamil is a disgrace you should happily go flush your face in a toilet bowl. Its a disgrace that you are not speaking the language. I shall stop talking about our roots here as that is a whole other post.
To those who are offended by reading this post, GOOD which means you know that you fall in one of those category and its time for a change. I have every right to talk about my fellow Indian community as I am an Indian my self and i do realise i have flaws of my own to correct. So do me a favour and go correct your flaws while i correct mine.
note: This is not a racist article and anything that appears to be racist my deepest apologies as it must be my inability to put it in proper language.
