Out of a sudden Samy realised that he can't afford to condemn Tun M as it may backfire as PM Najib Razak in a way still listens to Tun for certain political inputs, especially when dealing with the BN component party matters.

Article:

On a general note, we have more sensible and loyal Indians in this country than those who are just out to create political, economic and social problems and issues within their own community.

The Indian community are being split down to about 7 or 8 political entities, and had for decades depleted the bargaining power of the Indians who only represent less than 12% of the total Malaysian population. MIC through its president had claimed that more 600,000 Indians are MIC members, while the other Indians are members of the PPP, PKR, DAP, etc. Somehow, the total sum of Indians represented in the said political parties do not tally according to Register of Society.

So who is Samy Vellu trying to bluff, the voters or the Indian community? As far as BN is concerned, the MIC registered membership stood at less 350,000 only.

Coming back to the MIC versus Tun Dr. Mahathir's problems, someone in the Samy camp tried to sabotage Samy's relationship and goodwill with the former Prime Minister. Out of a sudden Samy realised that he can't afford to condemn Tun M as it may backfire as PM Najib Razak in a way still listens to Tun for certain political inputs, especially when dealing with the BN component party matters.

It was reported that Samy Vellu still maintained the cabinet record of having kissed Tun's hands the most number of times among the Ministers themselves.

I opined that the so-called behaviour of the Ampang MIC delegate to have suggested that Tun M deserved to be sandalised is absolutely "kurang ajar". We, the rakyat readily demand that an open public apology by Samy Vellu to be extended to Tun as soon as possible. The apology should be fully covered by the media when the incident happens.
