Only good for meeting – says<\/a> Samy Vellu of his ex-MIC Youth chief S.A. Vigneswaran. So it has begun. After Vigneswaran painted Samy Vellu in a bad picture during his press conference to announce his withdrawal<\/a> from MIC, its a foregone conclusion that Vigneswaran is finished.<\/p>\n

Former MIC Youth chief S. A. Vigneswaran was good at chairing meetings but failed to come out with clear programmes and policies to uplift Indian youths, said party president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu Sunday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Samy blamed the increase in Indian youths involved in juvenile crimes and murders solely on Vigneswaran, saying that Vigneswaran failed in his responsibilities.<\/p>\n

He (Vigneswaran) should have focused his attention on the problems faced by the Indian youth apart from resolving the problems within the MIC Youth.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Samy said this at the opening ceremony of the MIC Wanita, Youth, Puteri and Putera MIC wings annual general assembly.<\/p>\n

Now, just like one can blame Mahathir for tolerating<\/a> the inefficiencies and shortcomings of Samy Vellu in the cabinet, so can one blame Samy Vellu for the failure of Vigneswaran. Ultimately, the leader is responsible. Thus, by blaming Vigneswaran for these failures, Samy is actually laying the blame onto himself. How worse can it get? Time to retire la<\/p>\n

How could a failed leader like Vigneswaran be nominated and hold the youth leader post for more than 2 terms? Who was responsible to monitor the activities and developments of the MIC Women\/Youth\/Putera\/Puteri leaders? What was the CWC doing all this while? Shouldn’t these people share the responsibility as well, instead of blaming just one person for it?<\/p>\n

Samy doesn’t stop thre but goes on to reveal how he paved the way for Vigneswaran’s rise. From someone roaming the streets in Klang to a prominent politician.<\/p>\n

He said that he had picked Vigneswaran from the streets, appointed him to the youth chief’s post and recommended him to contest for the parliamentary seat and made him a parliamentary secretary.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Samy also clarified on the 41-year age limit:<\/p>\n

He said the 41-year age limit was imposed to provide more opportunities to capable and eligible younger generations to serve in various capacities in the youth wing at the divisional and state level.<\/p>\n

Samy Vellu said the new state youth chiefs had been appointed while those who had already reached 41 years, would be given a role at the divisional and state levels.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Samy also said<\/a> that the MIC Youth Brigade will be renamed:
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

On the MIC Youth Brigade formed by Vigneswaran, Samy Vellu said the movement would continue to exist but with a name change because the present one had been \u201ctarnished by irresponsible people.\u201d\u201cWe will appoint people who can serve the community and not one who is only good at fighting in the party.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t want people who only know how to fight. We want those who have sympathy for the community, to work for the community,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
