Malaysian PM’s work for Hindu Indians is ‘appreciated’
4 May 2013 6:48 PM IST
A major Hindu rights group has appreciated Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s efforts to help the Indian community in that southeast Asian nation.
Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) president P Waythamoorthy said in a television interview that his group would support the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition because of its sincere intention to help the Indian community.
The BN coalition’s major constituents are the United Malays National Organisation, the Malaysian Indian Congress, and the Malaysian Chinese Association.
‘Yes, it is true that we (Hindraf) opposed BN in the past but since Najib took over as the prime minister, he has shown a positive approach in trying to solve the problems faced by the Indian community,’ the New Straits Times Friday quoted Wayamoorthy as telling the Tamil version of ‘Hello Malaysia’ programme being aired on Bernama TV Friday.
‘He had openly apologised for BN’s mistakes in the past,’ and tried to make amends.
