Many critics claimed that one of the many reasons why the Indians (majority of them) did not vote for the Barisan in the last election was simply because the Tamil schools issues were not handled carefully by MIC neither the government. According to MIC report, early 1950's there were 888 Tamil schools and slowly it has been reduced to 523 in numbers. At the moment, 150 Tamil schools are fully funded by government and the balance of 373 are being assisted ( bantuan modal) by government. MIC on their part claiming they have tried their best to push the government to undertaken all 523 Tamil schools to be fully funded. But the reality is that 373 Tamil schools are yet to get the fully funded status. Why this is so ?
Education Minister Hishamudin Hussein Onn said, the government willing to fund all Tamil schools provided the schools are on government land not on private land. How to solve this issue? Indian NGO's are demanding the government to solve the issue as soon as possible as its been dragging for too long. But the land issue is in the hand of State government to solve it. I think the time has come for State government to fulfill whatever promises they've made in the last election, that includes five states ruled by the Oppositions. What we need is a better understanding and coordination among State and Federal government to solve the land issue for Tamil schools.
The Indian community and Tamil schools issues are inseparable and its lying there for too long and drastic actions to be taken immediately to get the support of the community.

Lets wait and see, how the state government are reacting towards the Tamil schools, that includes Pakatan Rakyat in 5 states.
Reality is umno want to be mandor forever. They want Indians go and lick their cock and in return umno will give few ringgit to semi value. Out of that few ringgit, semi value will take bigger portion and then will give few cents to his cronies. End of the day, umno man's cock polished, semi value got money, his cronies got money to have a good gals but then Indians got nothing........ this is the reality and now semi value asking for another RM300 million...... never hope to get Indian votes in future
