Manmohan bangga Pencapaian Etnik India Malaysia
KUALA LUMPUR 25 Okt. - Perdana Menteri India, Manmohan Singh melahirkan rasa bangga dengan pencapaian serta sumbangan yang diberikan oleh kaum India di negara ini.
Perkara itu disampaikan pemimpin tersebut kepada Presiden Pergerakan Kebangsaan Sikh Malaysia (Geraksikh), Tan Sri Darshan Singh Gill ketika kedua-dua mereka mengadakan pertemuan di New Delhi, baru-baru ini.
Menurut Darshan, Manmohan tidak ketinggalan mengikuti perkembangan rakyat Malaysia berketurunan India di sini termasuk komuniti Sikh yang berjumlah 100,000 orang.
"Beliau turut menunjukkan minat tinggi terhadap perkara-perkara yang menyentuh tentang kemajuan Malaysia, khususnya berkaitan masyarakat India yang telah bermigrasi ke negara ini.
"Begitu juga kepada masyarakat Sikh yang bilangannya cukup kecil. Kami boleh diibaratkan seperti 'minoriti dalam minoriti.' Meskipun begitu, kami tetap setia dan akan bersama membantu kemajuan negara,'' katanya.
Beliau berkata demikian ketika dihubungi Utusan Malaysia sempena kunjungan rasmi Manmohan ke Kuala Lumpur, Rabu ini.
Dalam kunjungan itu nanti, Manmohan bersama Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak dijangka merasmikan projek 'Little India' di Brickfields.
Mengulas lanjut Darshan berkata, dalam pertemuan bersama Manmohan di India, beliau berpeluang menghadiahkan pemimpin itu sebuah buku berjudul 'Sikh Community in Malaysia'.
Buku setebal 270 muka surat dalam bahasa Inggeris itu merupakan tulisan beliau sendiri yang memperlihatkan kejayaan masyarakat Sikh di negara ini

KUALA LUMPUR: Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is set to witness a progressive Indian diaspora in the country.
His launch of Little India in Brickfields, here, with his Malaysian counterpart Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak is a recognition accorded to Malaysians of Indian origin.
Malaysia National Sikhs Movement (GerakSikh) president Tan Sri G. Darshan Singh, who earlier this year handed over to Manmohan in New Delhi his book entitled Sikh Community of Malaysia, said the Indian Prime Minister was impressed with Malaysia and the Indians there.
He said Manmohan took great interest to find out about Sikhs and other Indians in Malaysia, and was pleased with Malaysia’s achievements and the Sikh community’s contribution to the country.
The Sikhs welcomed Manmohan’s visit as it was timely and meaningful, Darshan said, adding that it would help cement bonds between the two countries.
“The Sikhs here are proud that a member of their community is leading the world’s biggest democracy,” said Darshan, referring to Manmohan whom the Time magazine listed as among the world’s 100 most influential people in 2010.
On the honour given to the Indian Prime Minister to launch Little India with Najib, Darshan said it acknowledged the contribution of the people from the Indian sub-continent who made Malaysia their home. — Bernama

Sikhs in Malaysia eagerly await Singh's Visit
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's three-day visit from Tuesday is being eagerly awaited not only by Malaysian government but also its minority ethnic Indian community, especially the Sikhs who have applauded his contribution to India's fast-paced growth. The Sikh community is "very, very proud" that a Sikh has risen and become the Prime Minister of India, one of the biggest democracies of the world, a prominent Malaysian Sikh leader said referring to Singh's upcoming visit here.
"We, the Sikhs in Malaysia, are so proud that Manmohan Singh has turned India around at such a fast pace and put the country on the path of accelerated development," President of the Malaysia National Sikhs Movement, Darshan Singh Gill, a fifth generation Sikh in Malaysia whose great-great grandfather arrived in the then Malaya in 1880s,said.
Gill, who has been awarded the title 'Tan Sri' by the King of Malaysia, said he had met Manmohan Singh during his visit to Delhi earlier this year when he had presented him with a book on Sikh Community in Malaysia, compiled by him.
"Our 15 minutes meeting stretched to 30 minutes and most of the time we spoke in Punjabi," he recalled fondly.
At the national level in Malaysia, there are only five Sikhs who have been bestowed the award of Tan Sri, with Gill being one of them.
The Sikhs arrived in Malaysia over five phases, beginning from mid 19th century to 1990s, and the first Gurudwara was set up by Sikh policemen in Fort Cornwallis in Penang State in 1881.
Gill said it was interesting to note that the Sikh community in Malaysia had one time virtually monopolised the transport system before the introduction of lorry and train services. The Sikhs provided transport in the tin mining areas using bullock carts.
Ethnic Indians compose eight per cent of Malaysia's total population of 27 million people. Sikhs are only 0.001 per cent of the 27 million people.
A majority of ethnic Indians are Tamils from Tamil Nadu, whose ancestors were brought by the British to work in plantations as indentured labourers.
