Indian community unites for Ambiga
In a rare show of solidarity, the community has come together in defence of the Bersih co-chairperson.
There is an old joke about unity within the Indian community.
During British rule in Malaya, the British ruler was asked: How do you manage the three distinctively different races in Malaya? He answered: “It is simple. To the Malays, I give them government jobs and they are happy. To the Chinese, I give them all the business licences they want and they are happy. For the Indians, I approve all the associations they want to form. They will fight among themselves and they will never come back to me for anything.”
The Malaysian Indian community has so many diversified views on issues and there are so many NGOs representing the Indian community on various sectors. These NGOs often clash among themselves and, on most occasions, face internal squabbles.
Indians are also politically divided through several political parties despite being a minority community.
However, during the last one week, surprisingly all the Indian NGOs and political leaders alike were united in their common stand in defending Bersih leader S Ambiga on the remarks passed against her by the Sri Gading MP Mohamad Aziz.
For the last one week, the Tamil media were flooded with press statements by notable Indian personalities, political leaders and Indian NGOs who came out in full force defending Ambiga and demanding action against Mohamad for his remarks. It was a rare moment for the Indian community to witness such a unity in recent times.

The former Bar Council president told FMT that she received the email yesterday afternoon.
The email with its subject stated as “Beware hired guns out to kill you” claimed that a particular group had contracted two thugs to “terminate” her.
Although she withheld the identities of those mentioned in the email as well as that of the sender, Ambiga however said there were no references to any political parties.

‘We’ll defend her at any cost’
Two NGOs and a business organisation are livid over the death threat received by Bersih chairperson S Ambiga.
KUALA LUMPUR: Two NGOs and a business organisation have expressed anger over the death threat received by Bersih co-chairperson S Ambiga.
WargaAman secretary-general S Barathidasan told FMT that the NGO’s members would defend her at any cost.
Whereas Persatuan Kebajikan dan Sosial Gemilang Puchong president V Rameshwaran dared the people responsible to face him instead of being “cowards who threatened a woman”.
Barathidasan said Ambiga was an international figure who was more popular than Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak.
“It seems like those who disagree with Ambiga’s vision for free and fair elections are now resorting to psychological warfare against her,” he added.
WargaAMAN also urged the police to act immediately to find out who was responsible for the threat.
