Disbanded Hindraf

Hindraf is caught in a web of its own making. Several months ago I had suggested to Waytha Moorthy in London that he must re-brand Hindraf. Its far too communal. However, it seems that they fear losing the support of the multitudes that made Hindraf possible. And they lack ideas about how they ought to re-brand. In fact, even within the Indian community, there is a sense of unease about Hindraf’s clarion call.

It is now an opprtune time for Waytha and gang to re-brand. They have demonised Hindraf and “declared it illegal”. So if now Hindraf disappears from the face of the earth - and re-emerges almost immediately as something else - what will the desperado UMNO morons have to demonise or declare as illegal? In fact they will be at a complete loss. They will no longer have a whipping boy!

Come on Moorthy - lets show these morons that WE LISTEN to the rakyat. If the Rakyat want Hindraf to change or reform - then we will. Come out with a press statement that due to popular demand, Hindraf has been disbanded! However, Moorthy will be setting up a new front to tackle ethnic marginalization - including the non-malay bumis in East Malaysia??? Something to that effect. No longer marginalization of Indians - but ethnic marginalization.

All in all what we need to do is remove fodder that UMNO now have to keep shifting the Rakyat’s attention. If Waytha Moorthy comes out and declares that Hindraf has been disbanded - well hopefully that will be the end of UMNO being able to whip up racial sentiments. Of course they are going to accuse Moothy and gang of misleading the people, and that they are lying, that they have not in fact disbanded etc - but hey, they will again come out looking quite foolish. And no one is going to buy their rhetoric.
