and this is what they recently did:
The Malaysian Association Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MAICCI) has unveiled its fourth information centre here.
The centre, which comes after similar kiosks were launched in Johor, Penang and Malacca, is to disseminate information about Barisan Nasional’s track record in governing the country.
MAICCI president Datuk K.K. Eswaran, who launched the centre, said such a platform was necessary for the public, especially the Indian community, to be made aware of Barisan’s good deeds.
“We don’t want anyone to be fooled by the Opposition which until now does not even have a symbol to represent the pact.
“It may promise a whole lot but you can count the number of promises fulfilled,” Eswaran said, while slamming Anwar for not looking into the welfare of the Indian community during his tenure as Deputy Prime Minister.

What you should be saying is that members should make a wise decision based on track record, manifestos, global challenges etc., and leave it at that. That’s professionalism, ethics and integrity. Or if anyone asked your comment, you can answer in personal capacity.
