MIC Dinner upsets Saravanan and Samy Vellu
As the party’s information chief and Deputy Minister, I was not given due respect. I don’t know on what basis Subramaniam was given prominence. He is just the division leader.
Hmmm…”Just division leader”? Sounds like lack of respect for ex-leaders. Now only 120 days as deputy minister and can see his “horns” already 
Saravanan better watch his step. Either the organizers didn’t feel that he is important enough to be placed in the main table, or its just plain oversight (doubtful). Jus take it in the chin and move on la.
If Saravanan was unhappy, Samy Vellu was worse. He asked that the shutters be closed so that the diners can’t leave! Wah, like Tamil movie!!!
This is the first time that such a dinner ended abruptly – half an hour before it was supposed to. Samy left at 9.55pm about 40 minutes before it was supposed to end.
“You must be wondering why is this idiot doing all this? “If you think this was a waste of time, I apologise. I will not make such arrangements in future,” he said and requested for the event to end in five minutes.
According to the Star, the former works minister tried to cajole the delegates to stay back.
Please come back and have your dinner. We spent so much of money organising the dinner
Later, Samy Vellu gave a short speech and even sang a song. He then apologised and left.
If you (delegates) think this function is a waste of time, then I apologise.
Former party deputy president Datuk S. Subramaniam said Samy Vellu was “hurt by the delegates’ action - they were chatting among themselves and not paying attention to the cultural show that was going on”.
Some insiders commented that this is sign that Samy might have lost his grip on the party and branch chairmen. However, Samy later said that the media may twist this issue and say that its a sign of protest against him. He tried to salvage the situation by saying that:
What actually happened was that the moment they finished eating, they left while others were still dining. “If they are that unhappy with Samy Vellu, they wouldn’t be here today.
