1. Solving the problem of stateless Indians within 100 days of taking

power.

2. Ensuring that state housing agencies provide assistance to Indian

families who are in need, especially former farm workers and those

in the B40 category. They should be given an opportunity to have

a quality home at reasonable price, and a loan repayment

mechanism that is based on their ability to repay such as a hire

purchase scheme.

3. Instructing Local authorities (PBTs) and state governments to

place conditions on housing developers so that in areas where

there are former Indian plantation workers, the developers must

build affordable homes for them.

4. Ensuring that Indians get a good vernacular education. All Tamil

National Type Schools (SJKTs) will be fully funded by the

government and the infrastructure there will be upgraded to be

equivalent to national type schools/ Sekolah Kebangsaan.

5. Establishing a government funded Tamil secondary school

6. Increasing the number of Indian students at Full Boarding Schools

(SBP) and at the Mara Junior Science College (MRSM) throughout

the country. Priority will be given to Indian children from low-

income families, families working in the agricultural sector and

those belonging to the urban poor category.
