Received news that MIC is planning another tactic to get more votes. Our “champion of indian community” will be getting a “heart attack” in a few days time. Seems to be some sort of bizarre plan to garner sympathy votes. Problem is, i think many indians will take to the streets to celebrate this news rather than feel sympathetic towards him. anyway, we shall know in a few days if this is true. hmm..but if the news is out in blogs and forum, they can’t go ahead with the plan, can they?

Makes me wonder sometimes if this whole HINDRAF thing is some sort of sinister plan by MIC. MIC calls itself as “custodian” but looking at the problem with the community, it seems to have failed miserably as a custodian. Maybe its time for the community to take custody of itself instead of giving it to others. Anyway, do read the interview with SV and have a good laugh. » Read more: Interview with Samy Vellu on MIC strategies

The odds are on Samy Vellu winning, but most likely with a reduced majority. A major upset if PKR’s Dr can topple him. » Read more: A day of campaigning with Samy Vellu
