More and more Indian youths are involved in street fighting and crime activities.
I was robbed by an Indian gang, and this was only robbery crime I experienced in the past. The perception is at least a half of street fighting and violent crime reported in the newspapers involve Indians. Police statistics has confirmed 50% of local criminals are Malaysian Indians.
My quick analysis says the poverty, lack of education and job opportunity for Indians are main reasons behind this social ill.
When you have nothing to keep, you will not losing anything to destroy your own society and nation. This is happening now in the Indian society.
In worst case, when you are pushed to a dead wall, you will take up arms to fight back for survival.
Sri Lanka is a living textbook for Malaysian policy makers either from BN or PR to learn. Malaysia and Sri Lanka political landscape is like a twin except the players are different.
Majority with political and military power: Malaysia – Malay Muslim; Sir Lanka – Sinhalese Buddhist.
Minority: Malaysia – Chinese and Tamil; Sri Lanka – Tamil Hindu and Tamil Muslim.
I was in Sri Lanka during the climax of its civil war in 90s, witnessed the chaos in the country like suicide bombing on the Buddha tooth temple in Kandy.
Had talked to many Sri Lankans from the different races and social classes. The people there are like Malaysians here have no problem to accept different religions, languages and cultures amongst them.
Then, I posed them a critical question why Tamil minority revolted against Sri Lankan government controlled by Sinhalese majority?
The frequent feedback I got was discrimination in the government policies against poor Tamil and rich Muslim minorities. Tamil Hindus believed a self-control Tamil land in Sri Lanka would free them from the grip of discrimination policies and poverty trap.
