A coffee table book, Samy Vellu – As We Know Him, to be launched Thursday, will provide insight into the leader who has become almost a legend in the Malaysian Indian community, says Tamil Nesan.
The book contains 97 short stories by those close to the MIC president, compiled by Chitra Vasu.
The daily said the 300-page book is not an autobiography but tells the story of Samy Vellu as seen through the eyes of those close to him, the daily said.
The book also features more than 300 photographs of Samy Vellu, mostly from private collections of contributors.
Chitra said the book could be considered a rare documentation of a man who held the Malaysian Indian community spellbound through his deeds over the last three decades.
The book is edited by M. Govind Nair and published by MPH Group Publishing.
MPH Group (M) Sdn Bhd general manager (corporate affairs) Donald Kee said that 10,000 copies of the book would be printed in English and Tamil.
