NST:
The Kedah MIC Youth Brigade was dissolved yesterday following the resignation of MIC national Youth chief S.A. Vigneswaran.
Its chief, M. Magendiran, said it was also a sign of dissatisfaction with party president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu who, he alleged, had hurt the feelings of the youth wing. He said the 1,000-strong brigade, formed in 2003, had played an important role in attracting youths to the party.
Its members will now serve the community by joining the Malaysian Indian Youth Development Foundation headed by Vigneswaran.
