KUALA LUMPUR,MON:

THE Internal Security Ministry will not be releasing the five Hindraf leaders detained under the Internal Security Act despite MIC President Datuk Seri S.Samy Vellu’s request that they be freed.
Internal Security Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar said Samy Vellu is entitled to voice MIC’s concerns, adding that the action taken against the five was based on the legal system. He told reporters this after visiting the Police Headquarters at Bukit Aman today.

Yesterday Samy Vellu said he would meet Syed Hamid Albar and Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdulah Ahmad Badawi to request that the Hindraf leaders be released.

No surprises when I read that the Indian assemblyman is given Human Resource as well as health and environment. This makes him the 4 assemblyman to have HR as a portfolio, after Negeri Sembilan, Johor and Penang. Malacca, Kedah, and Selangor EXCO don’t handle HR.

What we see here is that Indians are not capable of handling more important portfolios like trade, finance, etc. » Read more: Perak EXCO portfolio list

The party got off to a wrong start by having its launch on HINDRAF rally day. Then the leader picked a fight with PKR. Now the Penang members are unhappy. What we (as man-in-the-street) can understand is that this is a party for the leaders with personal ambition. They are willing to join the winners instead of sticking with their principles (if they have one). How many state will follow Penang MIUP and run to other parties? » Read more: MIUP Penang to close shop

It was highlighted by NST that DAP initially allocated two positions for Indians in EXCO, and the balance four for the Chinese assemblymen. Howeve, only one was selected in the end. Now, Buntong assemblyman causes a bomb by quitting DAP. He will be independent candidate or will join MIC 😉 » Read more: Buntong ADUN Siva quits DAP!
