"It is also to highlight the negligence and failure of the British in not entrenching the rights of the minority Indians in the constitution when they granted Malaysia independence," he said.

Waytha Moorthy is also asking British courts to declare the Malaysian constitution null and void.

If these people made any sense at all they might be dangerous.

On one hand they decry the evils of the British colonial period and on the other blame the British for not imposing their will on the Malaysians when they granted independence.

Had the British imposed forced the Malaysians to grant protections to the minorities in their constitution what would prevent the Malaysians from ignoring those protections or later removing those protections.

By what power is Britain to null the Malaysian Constitution.

For reparations suits of this type (and of the kind that proponents would love to inflict upon America), the tenets of logic, truth, historical fact and reason must all be dispensed with. It’s all about a racist bid to win the lottery by inflicting as much guilt as possible upon a jury raised on Oprah, Phil Donahue and Jesse Jackson (and equivalents in the UK). Anytime logic or common sense is allowed to seep in, the entire effort crumbles, and so it’s essential that the white guilt component be front and center at all times.

Remarkable, isn’t it?

I thought convoluted legalistic B.S was proprietary to the U.S? I guess not.

Maybe if we all join the history revisionists we can save ourselves? We could just change history and omit the “bad” stuff.
