Tolerance?

Patrick Maloney

Najib sets out to solve the "serious problems" of the ethnic Indian community in Malaysia, including poverty, higher standards of education, and creation of business opportunities for ethnic Indians.
This has all been said in response to the launch of a new Indian political party (piggybacking off the previous post). What are the implications of such claims? Will the government be forced into action? Najib has stated that he is looking forward to working with all parties to devise a solution to the problems with Ethnic Indians. Are we seeing a genuine change and desire for equality or are we seeing political promises that will never come to fruition?
This all could simply be Najib's apology for the outlawing of the Hindraf group, which recently rally over 20,000 people to push for the rights of ethnic Indians. Hopefully we s=will see some change take place, but I am not holding my breath on that one.
