At last a blueprint for Malaysian Indians


I REFER to your report “MAICCI: Blueprint a positive milestone for Indians” to drive the community’s progress (The Star, April 23).

I laud the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak for drawing up a national Indian Blueprint to alleviate an estimated 695,030 Malaysian Indians who are in the B40 category or bottom 40% of households with a monthly household income of up to RM3,855. This amount is insufficient to manage a family in an ever-increasing cost of living standard currently.
