PETALING JAYA: MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu extended his wishes to the Indian and Sikh communities in conjunction with the Tamil New Year and Vaisakhi today and urged them to be equipped with knowledge.
He said this was necessary due to increasing economic competition.
Samy Vellu, who is the Works Minister, said the Indian community should be proud for having contributed to the country’s peace, prosperity and unity.
“I would like to wish a Happy New Year to Tamil Indians and Happy Vaisakhi to the Sikh community. Since Malaysia’s independence, we have achieved a lot,” he said.
On the MIC’s part, he said the party would help in efforts to uplift the Indian community in the field of education.
Malkit Singh, secretary of Malaysian Gurdwaras Council, urged the Sikh community to help in building a truly united and cohesive nation. – Bernama
