This man is right.

Some time ago there were talks about the proselytising of Christians to Islam in our media and created unwarranted problems too many, which was all a storm in a tea cup issue.

But long before all that, there were also lots of other problems; like the issues of Tamil schools' land grab, temple demolitions and the issue of the state of poverty of Tamils (Hindus) in Malaysia which has always been swept under the granite carpet.

DAP's Kulasegaran

Quote "All those friends of mine who went to a Tamil school are now either lorry drivers, labourers or in prison. There are few opportunities for anyone who goes to Tamil school. Generally speaking, these schools produce labourers" Unquote.

The above statement is TRUE and DAP's Kulasegaran should be accoladed and not chastised for bravely voicing out the exact perils and pitfalls of children rotting away in Tamil schools in Malaysia. 

       The headline says : Bayan Baru MP must apologise else
disciplinary action will be taken. 

     Kulasegaran warned. 

In a nut shell, I shall say this  - Tamils schools should be ABOLISHED at all cost and the learning of the Tamil language should be assimilated into the mainstream National type schools in the country.

The learning of the Tamil Language should be made compulsory to all Hindus in Malaysia. It is as simple as that.

Today, the Education Ministry and its dodo-system makes a mockery of this issue and the Tamils here make a huge farce over the Government's neglect into taking care of their socio-education needs, mainly in rural inlands of the country.

Why should the Malaysian Government even consider to look into this issue?

Why did the Tamils come here in the first place - other then to be cheap kulis and labourers?

This is exactly what the government wants of the Tamils. They don't want the nation's economic pie to be further sliced away from them and be given to the Tamils. 

I can't understand how an issue like the learning of a vernacular language should make so much noise and mockery. And still don't get it when there are Hindus who still think learning Tamil can take them to the stars.

Yes, there are those who did go to Tamil vernacular schools and have made it big. But, how many?

The majority of Hindus in Malaysia are crass and obtuse. I don't think any Malaysian Hindu thinks beyond the boundaries of language. I don't think any sane Hindu thinks beyond the betterment of advancement then to learning an age old language brought down by some self-professing old school of thoughts. 

Don't get me wrong. Learning of any language is GOOD, in fact better. But even that needs a dose of logic and practicality.

Why send our school children to learn something which has no purpose, no direction no nothing what so ever?

Why send our children to learn something which will make them, as Kulasegaran said, to become lorry and taxi drivers, rubber tappers, coconut plucker or even grave diggers?

STUPID.

When are the adults, who only think of sending their children to Tamil schools ever going to learn Malaysia is unlike STUPID INDIA.

When are they ever going to realize the more they send their kids to learn caveman language, the more they are sending their children to their early nightmare.

Again I say Malaysian Hindus are STUPID.

I learnt my mother tongue at home (unforced) and went to a national type school and learnt everything else the world could offer me. I've also gone down on my knees to teach half-way children sent to Tamil schools who can't even write their own names even at the age of eleven. I have seen and felt the agony of the state of Tamil kids in Tamil schools.

Pity, believe me is too lame a word to describe these poor innocent souls.

Tamil is best a language spoken not learnt. It is best suited for Indians (India). Not Malaysians. Tamil is well used, spoken, written, and kicked about in India, that too in Southern India not here.

Just ask yourself - how many have you in interviews been asked if you know to speak, read or write Tamil? 

No employer, other then the media (digital or analog) will seek Tamil speaking candidates to work for them which accounts to something like 0.001% of the population. The rest will only be fooling themselves if they ever employ vernacular mastered candidates especially Tamil.

If you're a Hindu reading my vent on the issues of Tamil language being taught to Hindus in Malaysia, and still disagree to my reasoning, then you ought to pack your self and go live amongst those in the estates. Only then you'll know what you're missing by learning Tamil.

I know exactly what would have happened if my late parents had sent my siblings and I to some demented hopeless and utter useless Tamil school. We would be either cleaning up chicken and duck farms near my home or eating up all the dust working in a granite quarry.

As for the issues on the other vernacular languages, I couldn't care less as they should be abolished and be done with.
