MAIKA will be an albatross around the neck of
MIC for as long as the investors are not refunded and those responsible are bought to justice. Samy can expect more such receptions as long as
MAIKA issue can be used to raise the emotions of the community. Just mention
MAIKA, and you most likely will see the amount of anger, contempt and hurt that people seem to register. Whether the person was actually a victim had become irrelevant. It (
MAIKA) has spread like a virus, affecting the community in general.
If we remember correctly, Samy Vellu announced that the investors will be refunded with some amount, but its going to be a year now. Habuk pun tarak. When people want to ask, these guys ran away (that’s what I understand from “drove away”).
Well, if anyone have more information on the incident, please share. Meanwhile, read the article that appeared in the Star:
JOHOR BARU: A commotion broke out in a temple compound here when a group of people claiming to be Maika Holdings investors could not meet MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu yesterday. The group of about 50 had waited for more than three hours and became agitated when Samy Vellu refused to discuss their grievances over the losses they claimed to have suffered.
The protesters had initially gathered at around 9am outside the SJK (T) Ladang Ulu Tiram in Ulu Tiram near here. However, they rushed to the Arulmigu Thiru Murugan temple about 2km away when they found out that Samy Vellu was there.
At the temple, tempers flared between the protesters and MIC vice-president Datuk S. Sothinathan when they accused one another of speaking disrespectfully. The protesters calmed down and agreed to move out of the temple compound when they were told that the matter would be discussed outside.
The MIC leaders, however, later drove off.
Spokesman for the protesters, businessman K. Selvakumaran, 48, said they were upset because Samy Vellu had not responded to their questions about Maika Holdings.
Seri Alam OCPD Supt Roslan Zainuddin said that the situation was under control and the protesters had dispersed peacefully.

Earlier, Alex, the Klang MIC Division chairmen condemned Samy Vellu over the running of MIC. Now he goes one step further and makes a police report over Maika shares handled by MIC and Samy. NST carried an article (below), but copies of the report are shown online at Malaysia Today. He is reported to have said that documents are available to support his claims.
As usual, the reports will be investigated at their own leisurely pace. Meanwhile, what will happen to Alex? People who raise hands in MAIKA AGM also “kena hentam”, what more of own party man making police report?
Alex to lose MIC post in next few days?
Report against Samy Vellu

KLANG: The MIC division chief here Alex Thiagarasan lodged a police report on Thursday against party president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu.
He said the allegations were in relation to Samy Vellu’s role in the Maika Holdings and Telekom shares scandal.
He also took a jab at former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, saying he was also responsible for what had happened as he did nothing to stop it.
“Samy Vellu is not an asset to MIC or Barisan Nasional.”
Thiagarasan said he was fully aware his actions may get him the sack, but even so, he would see to the end of this struggle.
Thiagarasan said he had all the evidence to incriminate Samy Vellu and was ready to hand it over to the police.

Business rivalry not ruled out in murder
source
KUALA LUMPUR: Business rivalry may be behind the shooting of Johor MIC deputy chief Datuk S. Krishnasamy.
The Tenggaroh assemblyman was known to be involved in several businesses.
He had a construction company and is believed to have had a stake in several restaurants in Johor Baru.
One of his close business associates was a man with known underworld links. Sources said their relationship, which began before Krishnasamy entered politics, turned sour about two years ago when police closed in on the man's activities.
The businessman, from Kedah, was investigated for passport forgery, human trafficking and several other cases. He is said to have moved his operations from Kedah to Johor several years ago. Krishnasamy was said to have helped his associate obtain a tow-truck business licence in Johor Baru.
In October 2006, DAP MP S. Kulasegaran lodged a police report against Krishnasamy for manhandling him during the Maika Holdings annual general meeting.
The Tenggaroh assemblyman is the second MIC man to be shot dead. In 2000, Lunas assemblyman Dr Joe Fernandes was gunned down at a traffic light junction on his way home from one of his many clinics.
