PRESS RELEASE : KICC SUPPORTS HINDRAF's ECONOMIC UPLIFTMENT REQUEST

Klang Indian Chamber of Commerce [KICC] strongly support Hindraf's call for political parties to endorse it's blueprint on upliftment of Indian community.  The request for land allocation for 20,000 Indian farmers for next 5 years could pave to contribute to the economic development of the community. If the system managed properly the nations demand for meat and milk can be met as well as contribution from agricultural activities undertaken by the farmers.

Since , 2001 the government has been playing hide and seek games on their commitment  to increase Indian Economic Equity to 3% without any concrete studies or workable master plan to achieve it despite been 12 years since first announced in parliament by then Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir Mohamed.

In order to meet the targeted 3% Economic Equity, KICC calculated that each and every Malaysian Indian  must able to invest RM80,000 in shares or unit trust. Which means, a family of 5 must able to save some RM400,000 per family above their normal savings and daily expenses. Until unless there is a concrete and workable master plan such as  Hindraf's request for lands for productive agricultural activities.

KICC President M Shanmugan, Vice President P.Peramasivam, Executive Secretary S. Arikrishnan and it's Executive Committee Member M. Puspanathan visited Hindraf Chairman P Waythamoorthy whom on hunger strike for past 11 days at Rawang. During, the visit KICC pledged cooperation to P Waythamoorthy while prayed for his well being.

PRESS RELEASE : MAICCI SHOULD DEMAND 10% BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES FROM GOVERNMENT AGENCIES & GOVERNMENT LINKED COMPANIES and RM500 MILLION GRANT

MAICCI SHOULD DEMAND 10% BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES FROM GOVERNMENT AGENCIES & GOVERNMENT LINKED COMPANIES and RM500 MILLION GRANT 

We refer to the meeting between Malaysian Associated Indian Chamber of Commerce & Industry representatives with the Deputy Prime Minister on March 11th, 2013 and their 11 point memorandum. Klang Indian Chamber of Commerce is happy to note such an initiative taken by a Malaysian Associated Indian Chamber of Commerce & Industry although very much delayed.

We shall be more appreciative had MAICCI demanded at least 10% business opportunities from government agencies and government linked companies besides appointment of Malaysian Indians Directors to the Board. Such opportunities are necessary in order to uplift economically limping Malaysian Indian Community to achieve the 3% Economic Equity target set by former Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad in the year 2001.

We welcome MAICCI’s request for special financial allocation for Malaysian Indian businesses. However, such allocation should be in the form of GRANTS to assist small and medium Malaysian Indian Companies to grow further instead being dished out as loans by private commercial banks that are only bureaucratic and profit oriented. We further note that the demand by the national entity to participate in politics is NOT in line with the greater good in uplifting the Malaysian Indian community. Rather, they should look into the transformation of the Malaysian Indian businessmen into High Income individuals that will lead to create more wealth for the community.

Klang Indian Chamber of Commerce is very much concerned on how Malaysian Indians are being sidelined by NATIONAL agencies such as PERBADANAN USAHAWAN NASIONAL BERHAD (PUNB) , PETROLIAM NASIONAL BERHAD (PETRONAS), PERMODALAN NASIONAL BERHAD (PNB) , INSTITUT KEUSAHAWAN NEGARA which only cater to a specific segment of Malaysians. We Malaysian Indians want to be part of this nation. We welcome MAICCI as a national body to clarify the meaning of NATIONAL to include ALL Malaysians that is “1MALAYSIA” as our honorable Prime Minister Dato Sri Najib Tun Razak proclaims.

Thank you.
