In the end, they are all buddies, just on different sides of the fence.
Samy unafraid of Hindraf five
SUNGAI SIPUT: MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu is ready to face any challenge from the five detained Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) leaders in the next general election but downplayed the much-talked-about battle in Sungai Siput.
The Works Minister, who initially declined to comment on reports of requests to field one of the five Hindraf leaders detained under the Internal Security Act to contest against him in Sungai Siput, said: “I don’t want to talk about them.”
However, Samy Vellu added: “They can contest anywhere. After all, they are not enemies. They are Indians. If they have something to ask for, they’ll ask and if there’s something to do for the community, we’ll do.
“That is all. We don’t want to talk about them,” he said yesterday after giving out ang pow and hampers to residents of the Sungai Siput Old Folks Home here, about 40km from Ipoh.
Last week, 200 estate workers staged a peaceful demonstration at a temple in Ayer Tawar calling for one of the five Hindraf leaders to take on Samy Vellu in his Sungai Siput parliamentary constituency.
