Malaysians of Indian origin protested outside the British High Commission seeking reparations from the UK for sending Indians to Malaysia as indentured laborers a century ago. The protest also highlighted the discrimination the ethnic Indians - mainly Hindus - face from the Malay Muslim majority government. In recorded history, state-sponsored oppression of minorities, particularly religious minorities has never been a good model for nations faced with religious diversity and multi-culturalism. As a side note, the demand of reparations for a centuries-old colonial (mis)deeds, if anything, seems to dilute the demand for equal treatment of religious minorities in Malaysia in this particular instance.
