Indian MPs, once vocal against MIC, have gone silent, says author

Indian MPs who once vocally criticized the Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC) for failing to uplift the Indian community have become silent when it comes to addressing the issues affecting marginalized Indians, according to author Janakey Raman Manickam. Manickam, a former menial laborer, claims that the Democratic Action Party (DAP) and Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) MPs, in particular, were vocal about the plight of poor Indians before the 2018 general election.

However, Manickam asserts that these same MPs have gone silent since joining the government, failing to speak up about the ongoing problems faced by marginalized Indians.
