Born Of PIDA - Penang Indian Development Agency

Penang Indian Development Agency - PIDA, inspired by Penang's Deputy Chief Minister Professor Dr.P.Ramasamy. PIDA will be force behind Indians development in Penang. PIDA will be state affliated agency, which will be play role of mediatator between Penang State govt,Govt bodies,Financial Institutes and other related agencies.

PIDA's aim is to upgrade the Indians in 3 main factors,namely Economically,Politically,and Socially. When a community is strong in Economy,by nature it will also be strong in the other 2 factors. And the efforts to upgrade the Indian economy should be started from the base,its not appropriate to come up with mega-sized ideas and projects which left uneffected.The best example for mega-sized day dream is MAICA Holdings.

So,for start PIDA will look into Penang Indians economic struggle from it base. PIDA is currently actively organizing forums statewide. The forum series kicked off in Professor's own constituency Batu Kawan;was attended by few Indian youths from nearby areas. Though the crowd was less,but the spirit was high. We saw some of the young entrepreneurs who is willing to fight hardly to success. The forums will be spreadheaded to other areas as well.the next stop will be Prai. Followed by other Parliament constituencies.

PIDA will be totally different from other youth organisations or agencies,which failed upgrade the Indian community in the country. There won't be political interference in PIDA. PIDA will move freely without relying to any political party.PIDA's policy will be free from political influences. Malaysian Indians learnt their lesson from mega-economic-project such as MAICA Holdings. PIDA wont involve itself in any business related activities, but will create ways and channels to Penang Indians to explore businesses. PIDA will also be mediatator between Goverment Agencies and the Indians who interested in specific business.The example is like,we'll be middle person between Agricultural Dept and the youths who wished to explore Agri-Cultural sector.

PIDA membership is open to all Indians who resides in Penang.
Indian Youth Organizations,Cultural Organizations, and Sports Club are welcomed to affliate themselves into PIDA. We'll create Better Penang Indian Community.

* PIDA was totally inspired by Professor himself, and he preferred non-political approach to upgrade the Indians in the state. With his capability as DCM of Penang, he'll help as much as he can to PIDA. Professor clearly said that there wont & shouldn't be political appointment or interference in PIDA.

Selected writings of YB.Professor Dr.P.Ramasamy

This article was wrote few years back;before the Malaysian Indians Uprising,HINDRAF Rally and March 8th Political Tsunami.

Of late, a series of incidents in the country have revealed the vulnerability of the Indian community. Today it hasbecome a common practice to talk of Indians as a minority, weak in terms of their political and economic status, a community afflicted with all kinds of problems, a community prone to engage in most violent forms of conduct and others.

If there is an incident, there is tendency on the part of the Indian middle-class and other ethnic groups to put the blame on Indians in general. For instance, in the Petaling Jaya Selatan episode, an impression was given the racial strife were caused by some irresponsible Indian gang members. In brief, there is growing tendency to view Indians as a problematiccommunity in the country afflicted with all kinds of political, economic and social ills. A community waiting to be rescued from the clutches of evil by political parties, the government and other welfare-orientated organisations.

Of course, there is growing amnesia on the part of many to disregard the immense contribution of this particular community in making Malaysia what it is. Brought from India as semi-slaves in the beginning of the last century, they cleared the forest, hills and other physical impediments so that modern infrastructure could be built.

Plantations would not have been the mainstay of the Malaysian economy until the 1960s and 1970s had it not been for thecontribution - sweat and blood - of Indian labourers. Thousands perished in building this country to what it is today. After more than hundred years of their existence, Indians remain poor, neglected, patronised and marginalised in a country that was build by them and others.

More than this, they have been subjected to worst forms of discrimination, shunned and pushed to the edge of the mainstreamsociety. Paradoxically, they are considered a burden to the nation.

Impossible dream
Given the viciousness of racial politics perpetrated by the present ruling regime, Indians by themselves stand no chance to compete and struggle to better themselves. Lacking the historical experience of capital accumulation like the Chinese and unable to obtain governmental assistance like Malays, Indians are basically afloat in a quagmire without the benefit of an alternative leadership.

A leadership that will provide the community with a new political vision, a vision that will take them from the present doldrums so that one day they could emerge proud and dignified. The racial game of Malay hegemony has caused irreparable damage to the human existence of Indians, particularly those who belong to the working class category.

Racial ideology and the everyday practices of racism have virtually made it impossible for Indians to lead decent lives in the country. Denial of decent jobs, licenses, contracts and others have prevented Indians from emerging as a dynamic group. Today, working class Indians can only aspire to become coolies in the private sector, drivers for the rich, security guards, office boys, errand boys, sweepers and others.

Upward mobility in the Malaysian racist society is an impossible dream for thousands and thousands of Indians in the working class categories both in plantations and in urban areas.
No human being would want to put up with injustice and discrimination for long. Indians are no exception, there is a definitelimit to where they can be pushed and bullied. They want no special preference, but existence free from injustice, discrimination and cruelty.

Indians have no hostility towards other races, but would want the latter to respect their nationality rights and vice versa. However, they would not want to put up with present situation of extreme racism for too long. Too much time has been wasted in depending on certain political parties within the government for their salvation.

Inalienable rights
There is growing realisation that an independent political course has to be charted for their future in this country. In the near foreseeable future, Indians will have no choice but to fight for their rights and for their rightful place in the Malaysian society. Whether there are political parties in the opposition that will provide Indians with this new vision, leadership and sense of purpose is difficult to gauge at the moment. If the opposition is genuinely interested in taking up the cause of Indians, then a serious attempt should be made to address their nationality rights.
What is particularly significant today is for the emergence of an alternative leadership for Indians, a leadership that will have to be led by Indians with vision to resurrect the status of the community.

A leadership that will take up the struggle of Indians so that they would emerge as a significant national group in the country fullyendowed with their inalienable rights as citizens, free from discrimination, enjoying full rights like other citizens, right to theirmother-tongue education, full access to jobs, education and others.

In short, an alternative organisation for Indians should start by championing the nationality rights which among other things will seek to dismantle the sources of present racism and injustice in the country.

Penang deputy chief minister P Ramasamy has rebutted claims that the Pakatan Rakyat state
government has been indifferent to the plight of the Indian community.


He emphasised that while it is unfair to expect drastic improvements to the lot of ethnic Indians less than five months after the March 8 election, Penang itself has seen several notable achievements to prove its detractors wrong.

Within his own parliamentary constituency of Batu Kawan, Ramasamy said Indians were appointed to head five village security and development committees (JKKK).“This had never happened under the Barisan Nasional in Penang. In the last (Gerakan-led) state government, only one Indian had been appointed to head a JKKK,” he said when contacted.

The DAP-led Penang government has also ensured Indian representation in the state executive council as well as city and municipal councils, said Ramasamy, who is also Perai state assembly representative.


He also cited the awarding of land to two Tamil schools, two Hindu temples and groups of goat and cattle breeders.A state-level committee was also set up to look into the plight of Tamil schools, while youth groups have been established to alleviate the problems faced by the Indian poor, he added.


The former academician-turned DAP politician was responding to criticisms against the Pakatan state governments this week from Indian-based groups, who alleged the DAP-PAS-PKR coalition had failed to fulfill promises made in the March election campaign.“Pakatan Rakyat ruling parties, be it DAP in Penang, PAS in Kedah and Perak and PKR in Selangor, seemed to have made empty electoral promises to the Indians," said Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) national coordinator TS Thanenthiran.



Small disgruntled group
They also described Ramasamy’s appointment as Penang deputy chief minister as having been more “a curse than a blessing” to the community.In a scathing retort, Ramasamy claimed the bitterness of this “small disgruntled group” was due to the failure to secure their own appointment as local councillors and members of a certain state religious body. “We can accept criticisms, but not mere attempts to discredit the Pakatan governments. Why don’t they come and meet the state government representatives to raise these issues?” he asked.Ramasamy also criticised them for insisting on setting up state Indian councils aimed at planning and implementing beneficial programmes for the Indian community.Unlike Barisan Nasional, Pakatan Rakyat is not merely a coalition of parties that represent exclusively the various ethnic communities, said Ramasamy.


“I’m helping the Chinese and Malay communities as well. I’ve given financial aid for suraus and Chinese temples. If they want state Indian councils, then should we also set up state Malay councils? What about state Chinese councils? What about state councils for Orang Asli? “This is not the Pakatan formula. We are a multi-racial coalition and we work for all races,” he stressed.
