Rebrand. Rejuvenate. Revamp. Revitalise. Re-energise. Replace. Looks like words taken from a dictionary! Well, “re-” all you want. Why not just reMIC the whole of MIC? Close shop and try something else for a living.  Or quite en-bloc and call for early elections. How about setting retirement age at 72 and limiting term of office-bearers? Oh..one more thing – ensure all members are from Tamil school and their children go to Tamil school, or drop the “champion rights of Tamil school” tag. » Read more: reMIC

Earlier, NST reported that there may be 3 Indian EXCO’s in Perak, with DAP “allocating” 2 seats out of 6, and PKR “allocating” 1 out of 3. There were even confident words from a DAP “insider” as well in the report.

As it went, in the end only ONE Indian was sworn in on Saturday – Sivanesan from DAP. Both Sivakumar and Sivasubramaniam were left with wishful thinking only. What happened to DAP’s 2 “allocated” seats? Did they chose the best men/women for the job?  So  it ended up as 5-1, instead of 4-2. » Read more: 3 Indians EXCOs remain a dream
