KLANG: MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu last night lashed out at party members during a dinner at the Klang Executive Club.
They were said to have been too busy eating and walking around, and after giving them a piece of his mind, Samy Vellu told those present to "eat first" and returned to his seat.
He returned to the rostrum 30 minutes later and said he would cut short his speech.
After his speech, as he was walking out, a photographer from the Makkal Osai newspaper who was busy taking pictures caught his attention.
The photographer, M. Samy, better known as Vinoth, was questioned by the MIC president, and he identified himself and the paper he was working for. His camera was then snatched from him.
Vinoth later lodged a report at the district police headquarters, claiming he was forced to erase the pictures on his camera by a MIC member.
A Makkal Osai reporter, who was at the dinner, also lodged a report, saying she had been threatened by another MIC member not to report the incident.
