in Kuala Lumpur, MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu said merging BN component parties into one entity would dilute the support and strength of the non-bumiputra parties.

"Once we all join one party, I cannot bring up the problems of the Indians to the Government and the Prime Minister.
"The majority will rule while the minority's voice will not be heard. I don't think such a suggestion should have been made in the first place," he said after chairing an interactive session with MIC division and branch leaders on preparations for the general election yesterday.
