00:00Former KLANG MP Charles Santiago defended his criticism of PKR Vice President R. Ramanan,
00:07saying he was urging leaders to learn from history when dealing with non-Malay voters.
00:13He recalled the 2007 Hindraf rally, sparked by dissatisfaction with the Barca Nacional Government,
00:19despite MIC's assurances that all was well within the Indian community.
00:24Santiago warned that history could repeat itself after Ramanan claimed
00:30no race or group was marginalized under the current government's inclusivity.
00:35He said non-Malays are unhappy with the government's performance,
00:39and Ramanan's misdiagnosis could lead to flawed solutions ahead of the next general election.
00:47Santiago added that PAS and Perkata Nacional were expanding outreach efforts
00:52because they can smell Poochajaya now.
00:56He accused Ramanan of sending the wrong message and said leaders must acknowledge growing frustration
01:01instead of pretending things are fine.
01:05In response to PKR Central Leadership Council member A. Kumar Esan,
01:10who had dismissed his remarks as a publicity stunt,
01:14Santiago argued that offering loans to Indian entrepreneurs
01:17is merely a band-aid solution for a community dealing with cancer.
