Now, everyone wants them released
MIC president S Samy Vellu is under fire for asking for the release of Hindraf 5. Rightly so, I think.
What took him so long to finally make that call? Some of his party supporters defend him by saying that he is at least pushing for the release now. To me, this is shallow thinking, precisely why MIC lost horribly in the general election.
As an Indian-based party, MIC and Samy Vellu should have nipped the community problems way before it came an Hindraf cause.
And then when Hindraf took off, the party should not have seen them as criminals or outcasts. It should have embraced them and worked with them - within the BN system - to solve the issues.
What happened was the opposite. The party and it president refused to acknowledge the existence on Hindraf, played down the role played by the Hindraf leaders and even justified their detention under the ISA for allegedly being linked with LTTE.
And now suddenly for the president to call for their release is comical, to say the least.
I would see Samy Vellu’s sudden change of mind on the Hindraf leaders as one calculated to fool the community again. An attempt for him to win again the trust of th Indian community.
I don’t think the community will buy this, again!
The same goes to the other BN component parties - Gerakan and MCA - who suddenly feel that the Hindraf 5 should be released. Where were they when the Hindraf rally happened on Nov 25 or when ISA was used on the 5 on Dec 13?
Why is it that only after losing the Indian voters in the general election do these parties think they need to do something for the Indian community?
They are still hellbent on taking the community on a ride, I’d say.

Believe me, nobody want this happen, MIC ke, Gerakan ke, MCA ke. but b4 election, what can they do? against UMNO decision? Now they can sound out, because the time is right. Sometime Politic is just like going to toilet, u goin in, then shut the door, then take off ur pants then sit on the bowl. u can't just take off ur pant then shut the door. Just like Pakatan, Rocket are against PAS people to rule Perak, against to alliance with PAS due to different direction. but wat to do, this is Politics. Hindraf 5 leader became the Victim of ISA. So we should go against the act itself. If Anwar were still in UMNO, I believe he will still do the same. But believe me. Anwar Benci ISA more than UMNO, because he feel the pain too. As rakyat malaysia, I don care which party will be stronger in future,I just care ISA will not be misused by either party who rule this country, that's it. God Bless.
