The report states that Indians lag behind other ethnic groups in almost all indicators. Even though Indians form just 7% of the total population, they account for 63% of those arrested under the Emergency Ordinance for violent crimes. Indians also constitute 41% of beggars and 20% of child abusers. Indians rank lowest in national elementary-school examinations; about one in every 12 Indian children does not even attend primary school. It is this shocking reality about Indians in Malaysia that has prompted political scientist P. Ramasamy to say that they have become "the new underclass."
