It is determined to wrest back the state from the DAP-PKR-Pas government. Its chief, P. Subramaniam, said the party accepts the defeat, and is now trying to improve to win back voters. &#8220;We will work to be more service-oriented and will look into the problems facing the youth. &#8220;We will also help people with scholarships and loans for education,&#8221; he said after chairing a closed-door meeting with some 70 members of the Selangor MIC Youth from 22 divisions.<\/p>\n<p>During the 90-minute meeting, members discussed the reasons for the defeat, the main areas and issues that needed immediate attention and how to improve the party&#8217;s performance in the next elections.<\/p>\n<p>In his address, deputy president R. Suresh said it was shocking and frustrating to have lost after all the hard work during the campaign. &#8220;Now, many people will try to provoke us. My advice to MIC members is: don&#8217;t be angry and don&#8217;t be provoked. Avoid the situation. Otherwise it will end up in a fight.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kuala Langat MIC Youth chief K. Krishnamurthi said people were also saying that MIC only made empty promises and that it has not done anything for the community. &#8220;Maybe we should now ask these people, &#8216;what have we not done for you?'&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Gombak MIC Youth leader M. Gunasegar added that motivational talks and camps must be organised to help lift the spirits of MIC members.<\/p>\n<p>Subramaniam told a news conference later that those who needed advice or help could go to the party&#8217;s service centre in Sunway, which is open every Wednesday from 6pm to 9pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National MIC leaders earlier had met Selangor MIC leaders in which Samy Vellu addressd them.
