It is indeed true that Malaysia has failed as a nation by being Islamic. Knowing well that only 60% are muslims they should have respected other religions and communities by being secular. But Islam is short sighted and does not respect other religions unlike Hindus who do not mind other religions. This is also the reason that due to religious abuse and lack of equal oppourtunities Malaysia continues to have economic decay despite being such a well endowed nation. The Indians however are equally to blame as they are rarely faithful to the land they live in e.g. in Sri Lanka they make trouble and if they are so unhappy in Sri Lanka or in Malaysia they can surely leave!! All in all Malaysia must wake up to secularism immly otherwise the nation is doomed as the ethnic Chinese feel the same way. The worst part is that in Malaysia they give better jobs only if the candidate is a muslim and if he is not he is coerced to convert!! Yet I have always liked Malaysia as the Malays are good people and truly enough the Tamils are by and large criminals (just like their forefathers) and continue to retain bad blood. The criminal activity in Malaysia is largely done by Indian Tamils only just like LTTE in Sri Lanka

Why should they leave Malaysia ? They have been a part of Malaysia's progress so far . Why should they accept discrimination . And for your Information Malaysia like all South East asian nations (Thailand,Cambodia,Indonasia- which is a confederation of many states, Vietnam etc.) were all Hindu & Buddhist states at some time in their history . And this information is available on the official websites of these states and western encyclopedias for everyone to see ( I am sure some jihadi would start calling it RSS propoganda ) .

Mr Akshay Gupta . The Sri Lankan Tamils who hail form the north and east are not recent migratns from India, but have lived in Sri lanka for thousands of years and are as native to the land as the Sinhalese. They ruled themselves for most of their history . It is the European colonists who created a country called Ceylon. The British did bring South Indian identured labour mainly from Tamil Nadu to work in the Tea and Rubber estates in SriLanka. They make up aorund 5.6% of the population and are still one of the poorest and most disadvanteged and most dicriminated people in SriLanka. The Sinhalas do not want them to prosper but remain as tea pluckers and their corrupt leaders who are invariably partners of any ruling Sri Lankan govt want them to be the same. The current conflict in Sri Lanka is between the native indegenous Eelam Tamils who hail for the North and East of Sri Lanka who used to make up around 12.6% of the population prior to all the ethnic cleansing and migration ( total Tamil poulation native and Indian was around 18,2% ) plus another 7% were Tamil Muslims ( they prefer to identify themsleves by thoer religion). Total Tamil Speakers in Sri Lanka 25% . The native Eelam Tamils and the Tamils of Indian origin hardly mix or intermarry . First they largely live in differnt parts of the country and then the disparity in education and class. The native Tamils are largely of upper and middle castes. The Estate Tamils are mainly of lower/backward castes.

Many native Sri Lankan Tamils migrated to Malaysia nad Singapore during the British colonial period, but they migrated and white collar workers ( clerical and administrators ) teachers,Doctors and Lawyers. their desendants are stil living there and have become quite prosperous most of them are now proffesionals. The Sri Lankan Tamils never migrated anywhere as labourers. The former Singaporean foreingh minister Sinnathamby Rajaratnam is a Jaffna Tamil and the current President of SIngapore I think is also of Sri Lankan Tamil background. The Sri Lankan Tamils usually have propered and done very well overseas. Almost around a million ethnic Eelam Tamils have migrated to the west because of the current conflict. Many even form remote villages only speaking Tamil. Most had lost everything and just came with a few belongings but have propered in their newly adopted countires. This capacity to work hard and proper was on eof the reasons that the Sinhalas were very envious about the native Eelam Tamils, they wanted to stop this so that they may not become too prosperous and become more economically powerful than them.
