> The state of Tamil society in Malaysia is really sad. In the area
of language schooling, the Chinese community led by very respected
Chinese Community Education Group, Dong Jiao Zong, do hundred-fold
better job pro-rata than the Tamil community does. The Tamils are
stuck on a handout mentality, the Chinese take risks, make money and
have more than enough to fend for themselves and their community.
Dear Bala
You are unfairly blaming the already battered Malaysian Tamil
community for their predicament. Blaming a victim for their ills is
rubbing salt on the wounds.
About education- Chinese in Malaysia have the huge resources of
Chinese teaching in PRC-Taiwan-HK combine. Chinese study everything
in Chinese - from elementary school to Elementary Particle Physics.
They make pins to satelllites in Chinese designs. You have the whole
Chinese IT world in software and hardware running in Chinese in
parellel to the English language software.
You have none of this cultural and technological advantage of
malaysian chinese available to Tamils there.How much a Tamil will
take Tamil education seriously or how much Tamil education schools
can deliver depends on job and labour markets which need Tamil
knowledge and technological knowledge in Tamil. Hence the Tamils
suffer both from the supply side and demand side. Why blame them?
The unabashedly racist policies of the Malayian State for the last 4
decades has resulted in the deprivation of Tamils and hence a change
must come from there
