INDIAN YOUTHS GET ADMITTED FOR GRASS CUTTING COURSES
For as long as I known, the grass cutters I have
seen have been exclusively Indonesians. One can see them in the housing areas
and sometimes along the roads and highways. You may have seen them, wearing a
straw hat, face covered with a morning towel and sometimes wearing spectacles
and cutting grass using the mobile grasscutter that looks like a simple
contraption. I have yet to see an Indian grasscutter or ever known an Indian
who has been given a prestigious grass cutting contract by the government or
even the local authorities.
The Sun newspaper on Wednesday July, 12 published an
interview with P. Kamalanathan, MIC’s Information Chief and Member of
Parliament for Hulu Selangor where he answered a range of questions. This
question really caught my eye.
Question by Sun
How is MIC helping Indian youths ?
Answer by P. Kamalanathan.
“ In my constituency, we identified 240 Indian
Youths and sent them to a college offering courses such as GRASS CUTTING,
wiring etc…”
Isn’t it amazing to see that P. Kamalanathan and
MIC gushing with great pride for helping
Indians become grasscutters. After 54 years of independence, empowering Indians
as grasscutters is seen to be the height of achievement by MIC.
