Why Samy is unshakeable in Sg Siput. But from what I hear, the Indian votes may swing away this time. SV need to depend on Malay votes, which is more than enough.

“Every party has pledged to unite for BN’s success. With unity and co-operation, we can expect great success this elections. There will be quite a lot of new candidates in the MIC this time. I know the people of Sungai Siput will continue to support me. I have tried to serve them as best I can. I have made Sungai Siput into a very beautiful town, every problem of the community I have tried to solve. The Indians, Malays and Chinese are all my friends. Every problem of the community I have tried to solve. I have built Chinese schools, Tamil schools and am still building Malay schools. I don’t have to tell the people of Sungai Siput how to vode, the know what I have done. There are no challenges. The only challenge we have is to win the seasts and be strong in the BN. I don’t think there will be any vote swings, you know. Indian voters are all at home, not on the streets.”
