“He is a good teacher and I learnt well from him,” he said in reference to claims that projects to upgrade roads in the Ijok constituency were only coming into the area due to the by-election.”
Samy fires salvo: Anwar gets a dose of his own medicine.

KUANTAN: It is going to be a tough by-election with aggressive opposition campaigning but the Barisan Nasional is prepared to face the challenge in Ijok.
BN deputy chairman Datuk Seri Najib Razak said the coalition machinery had gone through similar election battles and knew how to handle them.
“We have experienced this before. Our people are tough but at the same time we respect the law,” he said when asked to comment on the tense situation in Ijok on nomination day on Thursday.
Speaking after launching the Malaysian Unit Trust Week 2007 here yesterday, Najib said he was satisfied with the preparations made by the BN machinery and urged party workers to continue their excellent work.
“I was there until midnight (Thursday) and could see that our machinery is working well.” The April 28 by-election for the Ijok seat will see a straight fight between BN’s K. Parthiban and PKR treasurer Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim.
In Batang Berjuntai, MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu said the practice of pouring development projects in a by-election was not new as it was well practised by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim when he was deputy prime minister.
“He is a good teacher and I learnt well from him,” he said in reference to claims that projects to upgrade roads in the Ijok constituency were only coming into the area due to the by-election.
Anwar is now PKR advisor and has been campaigning intensively in Ijok.
Samy Vellu explained that all the projects were approved at least six months ago and were part of the Ninth Malaysia Plan.
On complaints that Parthiban had not been seen campaigning in Indian and Chinese areas, he said the BN candidate was busy covering the Malay areas.
“Once he is done with the ground work in the Malay areas, he will move on to the Indian and Chinese areas.”
