The MIC website is still not up to mark in terms of content and presentation (I’m trying to be polite and nice here). No info on the new info center which will incorporate some sort of helpdesk so that makkal can reach them easily. You can forget about Putera or Puteri MIC’s websites because one runs on blogspot and the other can’t be found. Wanita MIC site was last updated in January (luckily this year) while Pemuda’s one is suspended (I even checked it today). You’d think that with 630,000 members, they can afford to get about 10-15 volunteers to man each wing’s website or even pay some company to run the sites properly.
Now there’s “overhaul” pulak.
Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu said changes are expected to take place in the next six months, including changing the mindset and attitude of MIC members.
The party president said: “There must be a complete overhaul of our party machinery, right from the branch chairmen, division and state leadership in dealing with the problems of the Indian community.”
Speaking at Selangor MIC’s annual convention yesterday, Samy Vellu said branch leaders who were performing badly and not up to the expectations of the community would be replaced.
Samy Vellu said the country’s political landscape had changed after the 2008 general election.
“The people have become bold and will not accept anything but results.
“The days of trying to win the people’s hearts and minds through sweet-talk, promises and political slogans are over. ” he said.
He said Indians who deserted Barisan Nasional were returning to the MIC, adding: “We should accommodate them as it will help us to reach out to the Indian community.”
I can hear the cynics laughing already. I wish MIC all the best in the overhaul campaign. Would the overhaul take a long time? Some members won’t want to burden the president to stay longer to oversee the overhaul.
“The days of trying to win the people’s hearts and minds through sweet-talk, promises and political slogans are over. ” he said.”
I like this part…this is what they have been doing all these years with bare minimum results to show to the ppl..and ppl still bought it…MIC know that strategy work so why bother improving and delivering the promises?
