MENTAKAB: MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu has advised Indian youths to give their undivided support to activities carried out by the party which are aimed at building a better future for the community.
He said the Indians had been in Malaysia for more than 140 years and, during that period, had become skilled labourers in estates as well as workers in road construction.
“But if youths do not think rationally and find it hard to embrace physical and mental change, then the aspirations of the Government and the MIC to help them will fail,” he said at a religious festival at the Sri Marathandavar Temple here yesterday.
Hence, the Works Minister called on Indian youths to emphasise efforts to give added value to their life by acquiring knowledge to improve themselves.
“The MIC always gives high commitment to education as can be seen from the various initiatives taken by the party,” he added.
He said they included the establishment of the Asian Institute of Medicine, Science and Technology (AIMST) in Semeling, Kedah, which is capable of training 150 medical and dental doctors every year; and the Tafe College in Seremban, Negri Sembilan, which had so far produced more than 22,000 graduates. – Bernama
