Bangladeshis Overtakes Malaysian Indians In Numbers For Now.





 Of course it’s not that have overtaken the Malaysian Indians already, but it’s not far. How Bangladeshis taking over our numbers raise a red flag? They aren’t making much significance by the way to the development of the country. Of course they aren’t making much significance YET.

As of now, there are already 2.1 million registered and an estimated of 4 million unregistered foreign workers in Malaysia. Bangladeshis take up at least 600,000, roughly one-sixth of all foreign workers. Malaysian Indians are already no match in numbers compared to illegal workers.

Of course, these are just in numbers only, as the foreign workers are not citizens in this country.
However, these numbers show us how much foreign labour is coming in, in such a pace that they are slowly outnumbering Malaysians. Will Malaysia change as more and more workers start flowing in? What about the growing unemployment rates in Malaysia, and the worsening economy?

On a personal note, just because our numbers are low, we can’t be having 5 to 10 kids in a family. Numbers are upon the jurisdiction of affordance to run a family. We could only be 10 Indians in this whole Malaysia but the country must be dependent on this 10 and would collapse if this 10 defunct. What’s sad is that this is not the situation with Malaysian Indians.

Unity on another hand is just a Facebook talk and have not been able to materialize on ground. Many would disagree with me but they are just being ignorant. At times I would laugh to myself. When we ourselves can’t handle our own community, and we complain that the Government is not doing the right thing. It’s just not fair not to blame others for our own wrongdoings.

Maybe we can build a team to monitor the foreign workers traffic? But who is going to do it?

We don’t even care on the Malaysian Indian’s traffic in prison.

Does the caste system determine a Malaysian Indian’s life?

by Navinn Rajendran The caste system has always been an issue for an Indian, irrespective of where the individual is. I have always felt that the lack of understanding by the Indian Diaspora has led the issue to be hijacked by irresponsible individuals to be used for personal gain and further split the community deeply. I repeat, my focus here is narrowed down to the Indian Diaspora and I am further narrowing it down specifically towards Malaysian Indians. I have always had people complaining that the caste system should be abolished in Malaysia and it is causing racism within the community. Every time I try to explain it on my point of view, I end up being labelled as racist and so on. And then it hits me that lack of basic understanding of caste system in Malaysia had led to a negative viewpoint. Firstly I am going to further narrow down the subject to Malaysian Indians whom are Tamils. There are other communities that don’t face much of an issue in general. The Teleg...

The Razif Case by Navinn Rajendran

A post has been going viral over at social media over a young boy being highlighted by an individual named Razif Rawter making a statement over the state of a 15 year old Malaysian Indian. Many claims were put forth by Razif over the boy’s situation without verifying the facts.  *Razif was too emotional over the state of the boy that he reacted immediately?* This is not true. Razif posted this issue the day after he helped the boy. He had ample of time to seek verification.   *Razif didn’t know where to seek clarification?* This is not true. If Razif can have an opinion on MIC, he should have had the knowledge to seek clarification. *Was Razif’s opinion on MIC right?* He was right probably if it was 5 to 10 years ago. Now the whole system has been revamped. The way things work in MIC is different and the present time. A simple layman’s observation will say so. Every portfolio for Indian Development is under the Prime Ministers Department. Gone are th...

I Wish I Was Born Bumiputra Or Chinese

by Navinn Rajendran 29 years I have been a Malaysian Indian. I have never felt distressed as I feel right now. I never wanted to feel such but here I am, feeling why I were born a Malaysian Indian. I have live amongst the lowest environment and the highest. I know how it feels like to be a makkeh and also to have standard and I am totally aware of how much both worlds have their own battles. I am tired of how much another Indian wants to take advantage of every single thing available. Some might call it smartness. I would call it Etche Putthi (Low Mentality). Whom I know matters more then who I am. How I do matters more then what has to be done. Bank balance matters more than far sightedness. I don’t fear breaking in anymore. I fear burglar raping my sister. If there were three alleys and each had a group of Indians, Malays and Chinese, any Indian girl would feel safe walking in any of the alleys except the Indian one. We fear telling our parents who we love and we are...
