Totally ignoring Samy Vellu’s warning to other BN components to keep their hands off the Indian community, Gerakan today launched a task force specifically to help the Indian community. Being a multiracial party, they have every right to do so. What is SV and MIC going to do now? Go running to BN supreme council?  » Read more: Gerakan woos indian voters

Well, well, well. I think this is the first time in many years that a convention to CHART STRATEGIES is being done by MIC! Good for them. They can start by UPDATING their website.

The other parties should concentrate on helping their own communities,” he said, declining to name the parties. 

The only parties in Peninsular who play racial politics is UMNO and MCA. So, Samy is telling off these parties?

SEREMBAN, SUN:

The MIC has reminded other Barisan Nasional component parties not to meddle in the Indian community’s affairs without the party’s knowledge.
Its president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu said there were some BN component party leaders who had been meeting the Indian community and trying to get the community to voice their problems.

“They are trying to stir the pot by doing that. Let MIC worry about the Indian community. The other parties should concentrate on helping their own communities,” he said, declining to name the parties.
