'Caste' Away!

According to the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, the Indian community must do away with the caste system in their political arena. Discrimination based on caste would be perceived as bad and outdated!

This is one of the segregation our fellow Indians do not need! So, they need to “caste-away” the idea of making the higher caste the leaders in their politics. Choose not the “untouchables” but the people’s representatives who are sincere in their political endeavours!

The timid ways of doing things are no longer applicable. Blind and brand loyalty is also out of the question. This is a brave new world and brave speeches and sheer bravado would not be enough! It’s your choice. And do not forget that all it takes is a few disruptive politicians to ruin their party!

Politicians come and go. No big deal! No big loss! You and your party lose out when you have an egocentric and self-indulgent leader at the helm or worse, a halfwit! Choose a leader that can be dependable and not one that depends on you (for your vote). In any party, a good leader would be seen as a highly effective “dose of medicine"! That’s the truth!
