In the morning, DPM Najib launched the International Conference on Youth and Terrorism:

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak today called on the youth to condemn violence and any fragmentation of human kind.

He said youth should have the capacity to realise the futility and destructiveness of terrorism despite the difficult political circumstances or personal traumas that they faced.

At the same time, the younger generation should integrate with a multicultural society to respect religious diversity and believe in democracy and dialogue.

“One thing we all know and agree is that no religion or culture advocates violence to another. Let me also make it clear that no cause or political antecedent can justify acts of terrorism.

“Terrorism and violence cannot be justified under any circumstances,” he said in his opening speech at the International Conference on Youth and Terrorism here.
His speech was delivered by Education Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein.

Guess what his party members did. They jumped on Karpal Singh 🙂

DAP chairman and Bukit Gelugor Karpal Singh was confronted by a group of Selangor Pemuda Umno members at the Parliament tower block this afternoon.

However, by then the House security had summoned police help and the Karpal was escorted into the lobby.

The shouting session culminated in a scuffle with the Segambut member Lim Lip Eng having his shirt tugged.

The group had been waiting at the parliament tower for Karpal and as soon as he arrived they surrounded him and started heckling him over his warning to Pemuda Umno yesterday.

… This afternoon, Karpal’s aide finding his boss surrounded immediately summoned help and several DAP members came to the rescue.

They immediately got into a shouting session with the youth and that is when Lim’s shirt was tugged.

One wonders what the security were doing in the Parliament. Birthday celebration were condemned thoroughly, but managed to allow violent people inside.

His Royal Highness, The Sultan of Selangor, has commanded me to inform that His Royal Highness could not offer any guidance or advice to the Yang Berhormat Dato” Menteri Besar of Selangor in the matter related to the issue of Yang Berhormat Elizabeth Wong Keat Ping as it was still under police investigation and it involved her political position.

Karpal shouldn’t waste time with Samy

I think Karpal Singh should not be wasting his time nor energy advising Samy Vellu. He’ll be better off worrying about impending court cases or by-elections. No one can beat Samy Vellu. Gerakan fella already got his share, next will be Karpal.

DAP chairperson Karpal Singh today trained his sights at long-time MIC leader S Samy Vellu, urging the latter not to seek re-election for the party post which he had held since 1979.

“I would advise Samy Vellu to step down as president of the MIC. He does not have the moral right to even consider standing for re-election as president of the MIC,” Karpal said in a statement.

Karpal added that Samy Vellu should “repent for the woes brought about by his leadership on the Indian community”.

He also said that Samy Vellu has no rights to seek the support of the Indian community which he took for granted.

Karpal, himself a veteran politician, said that the results of the last general election proved how Samy Vellu fared amongst the community.

“He had boasted that no one could dislodge him as the member of parliament for Sungai Siput.

“The boast was blasted to smithereens by the voters in Sungai Siput and for good reason,” added Karpal.

In general election, almost the entire MIC leadership was defeated, leaving just three parliamentarians from the party. As a result Samy Vellu also lost his place in the cabinet.

Karpal added that Samy Velly had failed the Indian community which has been sidelined by the government.

“He was more interested in the enhancement of his own interests and those of his cronies.”

Karpal further said that Samy Vellu’s retirement will be one in disgrace, adding that he should have stepped down when the time was up.

The veteran lawyer, who has long crossed horns with Samy Vellu, also urged MIC members to leave the party to join the DAP or the PKR.

These two parties, he said, can effectively advance their (the Indian community’s) interests.

Karpal’s attack on Samy Vellu had come in response to the latter’s recent decision to contest for the top post in the party during the presidential election in April.

The contests for all other party posts in MIC will be held in September.

Samy to Pakatan: What have you done for the Indians?

Interesting to see Samy Vellu asking what Pakatan Rakyat has done for Indians since last year’s general elections (a total of 11 months). Its time for Pakatan to bring out the report cards. I only hope its not thicker than MIC’s reports card for last 11 months. We should compare apples with apples, no? The makkal would love to see both report cards filled with As. I hope we don’t see a string of Fs for either one of them.

Samy Vellu also criticised Pakatan Rakyat, in particular Parti Keadilan Rakyat, for misleading the Indians in the country.

He said many youths were swayed by PKR’s empty promises. He asked what Pakatan Rakyat had done for Indians after last year’s general election.

“We must show them, teach them a lesson in by-elections and other elections. Don’t just make empty promises,” he said at the launch of the MIC Youth Recruitment and Voters Registration Bureau which attracted some 700 youths from Selangor.

The next thing to pique my mind was this:

MIC’s youth coordinator T. Mohan said about 20,000 youths were waiting to join MIC.

err…waiting for what ah? I don’t suppose position of sun, moon and stars have anything to do with it? Whatever it is, good news for MIC as 20,000 is not a small number. Hopefully they are for real.
