Samy won’t beg any more
April 4th, 2008MIC president replied: “I will not beg anymore… enough of begging for that and this.
No respect for the self-proclaimed sole champion of the Indian community from other leaders of fellow coalition? Or the MIC candidate is not suitable?

What about Pahang?
On why the Indians were not given an exco position in the BN-controlled state of Pahang, the MIC president replied: “I will not beg anymore… enough of begging for that and this.”
“If the Pahang state government feels it is better off without an Indian in the exco, fine. We have said what we want and it is up to the state government,” he added.
To a question on why the MIC was not allocated an executive councillor’s post in Pahang, Samy Vellu said a request had been made to Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob.
“I am not prepared to beg anymore. Enough of begging for that and this.
“If the Pahang state government feels Indians do not deserve an exco’s post, let it be like that.”

Asked why the Pahang state executive council had no Indians at all, he was equally scathing.
“I asked the menteri besar (Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob) about it two weeks ago. He didn’t reply.
“I’m not prepared to beg any more. If the Pahang government feels Indians don’t deserve a state exco seat, let it be like that,” he said.
“The best thing to do is talk to the prime minister and deputy prime minister about it.”

His job is basically to control the assembly proceedings. Does he chair any committee or take other responsibilities? Being a speaker may well mean that the chosen assemblyman can’t raise any issues or protest since he will be seating as arbitrator in the hall. » Read more: Indian speaker for Perak state assembly
