10 Reasons a Malaysian Indian is a Gangster.




by Navinn Rajendran

1. Feeds on FEAR.
This is definitely true for all gangsters in this world. They feed on the fear people have on them. Their sustainability is based in the fear and if someone else were to challenge and succeed on it, the fear shifts and hence we have a new self-made so called peoples champion. The day people are not fearful, gangsters lose their currency to sustain.

2. Brain Malfunctions at SCHOOL.
Most of the thugs have successfully not finished school. And the main reason given is because they couldn’t study. The fact is that they were just not interested to study or no one cared to show and highlight the importance of education. The truth is that we live in a world that banks highly on paper qualification to be able to secure a stable job. Without finishing high school, dropouts sometimes expect to be offered high paying job equivalent to a medical doctor. 

3. Family BREAKDOWN.
Parents just don’t care about anything but themselves. This is the truth in today’s world. Most couples are not ready to build a family and when things get serious or bad they are unable to handle them in an appropriate manner which leads to the negligence of the children. Child is not well guided and is more prone to pick up easily from bad influences. 

4. Indian Community DOESN’T GIVE A DAMN.
Tell me about it. We just don’t care. If we actually cared for other children like our own, we wouldn’t have to be in this situation of living in fear and shame. It is not until our house gets robbed, we don’t take it seriously. Not until our child becomes a drug addict, we don’t care. Until our daughter goes out of house and does not return, we don’t bother. Until our son gets slashed or shot, we are all good.

5. Little WORK, DOUBLE THE CASH.
Firstly, we all need money to sustain. So we have to find ways to make money. The fact that most of them never went to school, they have to find means for cari makan. Snatch theft, house break-in, armed robbery, drugs and etc. are just few minutes work and the profit is equivalent to a month of hard work in a day job. Already not having a proper job and habits that are not progressive to themselves, they have to do a few projects to make big money.

6. Supportive PARENTS.
YES. It’s not a typo. Parents are supportive if not all of them. Their fresh medical graduate son might be sitting at home waiting for posting while popping depression pills. But the son that works all night pushing drugs and getting into fights might be the one paying bills and keeping the family afloat. Fear of questioning might lead to their child striking back might be one reason they remain silent but mostly it is the financial support that is rendered which makes them give in to these thugs.

7. FAILED religious institutions.
What are religious institutions established for? For a man to reflect on himself and be able to discriminate what is right and wrong. But what’s amazing with Malaysia is that, the numbers of temples, churches and mosques are rising, so is the crime rate within the Indian community. Isn’t it supposed to be the other way round? God whom the community begs for peace and prosperity is being assign security guards with full fledge alarm systems and CCTV’S. Even god needs security from thieves and thugs. Having failed to bring in positive change within the community, definitely the religious institution for Indians in Malaysia has failed miserably. 

8. POLICE closes an EYE.
There is a division specifically to look into organized crime in the police department. There are only two possibilities. Either they are lazy or they are just not bothered. Yes they are definitely doing whatever they could at their best. But they too don’t go all out through the way to eliminate these gangsters whom are running rampant in the country. The police force waits until the security is in a dire state and these thugs run rampant. 

9. MALAYSIANS are O.K. with it.
Not all Malaysians are OK with it for sure. It’s just that as long it doesn’t affect them, the sole responsibility lies on the shoulder of the police. Until they feel threatened, it’s ok with them. Because it’s an Indian issue, other races wouldn’t want to mind much and even if they mind, some community leaders would take advantage and silence the rest citing it to be a communal issue rather than a national one. Anyway by end of the day, it’s Indian that slashes another Indian and an Indian that shoots another Indian. So why worry.

10. UNAWARE of HOW much life has got to OFFER righteously.
Life of an Indian gangster in this century has got only three ways. Firstly, by being slashed to death, second being shot dead and thirdly in an accident. They can’t wish for natural death as that is kind off far fetch these days. Involvement in drugs and violent acts will only lead to a revengeful situation and conflicts. Life is beyond drugs and violence and it is up to individuals on what is their passion and how they can drive it forward to bring change to the society and world.

  1. What is written is mostly true. What is the root cause for all this? Divide and rule has isolated and marginalized these Indians in the country. Indians have become the punch bags for the Malays to let go their frustrations. Don't talk about MIC. They have taken care of their leaders.

  2. I wonded if anyone has the temerity and intelligence to contest these wild assertions and over generalisations. Sure enough such recidivism exists in all societies and cultures not just amongst the deprived Indian. I'm wondering too if the extreme marginalisation that this particular group experiences, lack of economic opportunities and ensuing poverty often prevailing in this particular group could be factors to consider too. So many middle class Indians (if they adnit to being one ) often hide behind their gated communities and are quick to sneer.

  3. first of all the tittle is totally racist. 10 reasons why malaysian youths become gangsters would have been more accurate. so before you generalize a whole damn race first learn how to structure a sentence to mean what you intend it to mean. yes a big amount of malaysian indians are gangsters . but there are those that spent years educating them selves , and im pretty sure they can structure a tittle to this article better than you did. so to the author of this article "please educate your self before you pick on others" thank you very much -an educated indian-

  4. Navinn,

    Not so nice answers for me to read as an Malaysian Indian. Appreciate your intend to highlight the problems of Indians in Malaysia but, please do more research to assert your views. Many of your views is not Malaysian Indian specific problems either.......If you ask "Why 5 times" to your views it all will lead to the root cause.

    First of all, we all must know when did Indian gangsterism became prevalent???
    I would say it started in the 70s and become a menace on 90s.
    What changed?

    I quote Aljazeera....

    "Many of them worked in Malaysia's rubber plantations after they migrated during British colonial rule. For generations, the estates provided thousands of indian families with housing, jobs and schools. But that all changed in the 1970s when new economic policies saw private companies take over the estates, replacing rubber with oil palm and hiring cheaper foreign labour. Today, within one generation, most estate Indians have been forced into urban centres, leaving them unskilled and trapped in poverty."

    I hope you will not become demotivated with our comments. Instead hoping you will do more research and will take the bull by the horns!

  5. And yeah, to become a successful gangster, they need to invest in;

    1) people skill so that they can recruit more. Leadership skills are very much honed over the years ( often it begins with "position" John c Maxwell - level 1 )


    2) Creative thinking, they got to constantly find new, authentic or improvise and existing idea/ method to sustain their activities. Those that comes in the news only show's they have stopped thinking creatively.

    3) Persistence ( I don't even have elaborate this) Shark pool lah kan.

    4) and the list goes on and on.

    You see it's not easy to become a successful gangster. It's hard!
    It requires all the top skills just, that their course could be slightly adjusted to a kind one.

    Jangan marah laa, just looking at the other side of gangsterism.

  6. Well the facts might be correct but its not ge root cause of this gangsterism. Why indians in
    all other countries like South Africa, Us all are living peacefully and involved in very minimal crime? Sometimes no crime at all. Why? When you study the answer for this, you will know what is the root cause of Indians involving in gangsterism. Peace.

  7. Poorly researched and over generalisation. You are speaking from a place of privilege here.

  8. Being Chindian, I have to agree. Many young indians are becoming that. Especially in Malaysia, regardless of gender.

Malaysian First, Indian Second.

    by Navinn Rajendran I am a Malaysian Indian. Yes. Malaysian first, Indian second. I kind of don’t know how ill survive in India if Malaysian Indians are forced to go back but somehow nothing is like Malaysia. The best decision that my grandparents made in their life was to stay put in Malaysia. Wait a minute. What you mean by stay put? Didn’t the British bring Indians to Malaysia. Errrmm. Lets look into some history before we fast forward to the present situation. Indians have been trading in Malaiyur, which is The Land of Hills way before British came by. The British kind of needed some help in plantation as they were lazy to do it themselves and brought our grandparents to Malaya. When they decided one fine day that they have scraped enough, they decided to leave.  But Indians weren’t as significant compared to 916 or precious gems to loot back. So an easy way out was to establish a united country that is peaceful among various races. Of course they lef...

Who’s Who for Senatorship in MIC.

by Navinn Rajendran As everyone are geared up for election many have ignored the Senatorship that is coming up as few individuals are having their term end pretty soon. A couple of individuals whom are supposed to be in the system has been not able to be absorbed into the system and this is indeed one channel. There are 4 spots for MIC in obtaining   the Senatorship and we have hereby listed 6 individuals that are eligible for the spot thus far based on position and contribution.  1.      Datuk T. Mohan (DTM) DTM has been a very prominent figure amongst the Indian community since being appointed as the MIC Youth Leader. He has helped so many youths and have made many successful. How we wish if they had followed DTM’s footsteps instead of dancing around with arrogance. But the one name that will go down in history for leading Indians into the mainstream sports will be Datuk T Mohan. Being the Vice President of MIC also further strengthens ...
