Klang Indian Chamber of Commerce [KICC] strongly support Hindraf's call for political parties to endorse it's blueprint on upliftment of Indian community. The request for land allocation for 20,000 Indian farmers for next 5 years could pave to contribute to the economic development of the community. If the system managed properly the nations demand for meat and milk can be met as well as contribution from agricultural activities undertaken by the farmers.
Since , 2001 the government has been playing hide and seek games on their commitment to increase Indian Economic Equity to 3% without any concrete studies or workable master plan to achieve it despite been 12 years since first announced in parliament by then Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir Mohamed.
In order to meet the targeted 3% Economic Equity, KICC calculated that each and every Malaysian Indian must able to invest RM80,000 in shares or unit trust. Which means, a family of 5 must able to save some RM400,000 per family above their normal savings and daily expenses. Until unless there is a concrete and workable master plan such as Hindraf's request for lands for productive agricultural activities.
KICC President M Shanmugan, Vice President P.Peramasivam, Executive Secretary S. Arikrishnan and it's Executive Committee Member M. Puspanathan visited Hindraf Chairman P Waythamoorthy whom on hunger strike for past 11 days at Rawang. During, the visit KICC pledged cooperation to P Waythamoorthy while prayed for his well being.
