Malaysian Indian community leaders and representatives should seriously look into the very high rate of gangsterism among their youth and address these concerns as it is beginning to affect peace and harmony in the country.
While critics and the less sanguine would contend that these are merely sweeping statements and generalizations, a deeper and comprehensive study undertaken by the government will confirm this assertion.
The recent furore over illegal houses of worship came up to the surface and was unearthed primarily because these illegal structures were mostly constructed by Indian triad groups and gangsters trying to outdo each other.
Besides this, there are many Indian youth actively involved in underworld activities such as the sale of drugs and they whitewash their incomes from illegal activities without any fear or regard for law enforcement agencies in the country.
In a head countdown of prisoners languishing in the country, Indians also rate highly though their numbers and population have been dwindling which is why there is a pressing need for the government to oversee Indian youth.
Most Indian leaders and representatives have become a major letdown, being more focused on jockeying for positions and are indirectly involved in supporting the crimes of Indian youth for their personal benefit.
