Among the hottest news in the community is the possible merger of MIC, PPP, and IPF. IPF’s leader is fighting for life in the hospital. News is that he is hooked up to machines, and not sure how long he has. He is diagnosed with leukemia. PPP, the “mosquito party”, will cease to be multiracial if it joins MIC. No news yet about MIUP. But since some of its leaders have returned to PKR, I guess Nalla will go opposite direction and fall on SV’s feet. Either that or join DAP ! » Read more: Samy Subra Kayveas and IPF

Jeram Padang Mogan says MIC still have support

Mogan won by majority of 1808 votes compared to 4084 in 2004 by Datuk Krishnan. With the introduction of new generation voters, Mogan will be in trouble if he does not engage the younger generation. Starting off by saying Indians still support MIC may not be the smartest thing to do. » Read more: Jeram Padang Mogan says MIC still have support

NGOs: Put house in order before leaving

source

KUALA LUMPUR: Several Indian-based organisations want MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu to step down, but not before putting his house in order. They said Samy Vellu realised that the Indian community had to be united to be heard, thus the reason for him to invite everyone, including his one-time sworn enemy Datuk S. Subramaniam to work with him. Some said it would take a great effort for the two to work together for the betterment of the community. » Read more: Samy asked to put MIC in order before leaving

New Indian Coalition says no to MIC

Great! Yet another group is created. Not 10, not 50, but 128 organisations! I’m surprised that we have that many active organisations! If each one takes one Tamil school, that’s nearly 25% of the total schools. If minus fully-aided ones, that will be more than 1/3 of the balance partially-aided schools. Figuratively speaking of course. Basic education, in my opinion should be the burden of the state.

Why not make use of existing bodies? There’s Hindraf for starters 🙂 . We just read another group calling for Samy Vellu to be given place in the cabinet (that group of 30 NGOs consisted of Bell Club, some Karak group, and other NGO’s in Pahang).

Anyway, I like the idea of this group creating watchdogs (my isn’t this word becoming popular now!) to monitor both government and opposition. I don’t think any existing NGOs did this until now. » Read more: New Indian Coalition says no to MIC

Malacca is still under BN. The MIC representative ex-teacher R. Perumal got Information, Consumer Affairs and Transport portfolio, not a poweful one as compared to other portfolios. » Read more: Malacca Exco List
