THE debate over whether the MIC or the People's Progressive Party represents Indians in the country continues.
He said Murugiah, also deputy minister in the department in charge of the Public Complaints Bureau, should not have spoken on Monday about the RM12 million allocation by the Economic Planning Unit for Indian businessmen.
Devamany, who said the EPU came under his jurisdiction, added that the announcement should rightly have been made by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak yesterday. He said it was also unethical and unacceptable for Murugiah to make the announcement before Najib.
"The RM12 million Tekun loan, RM12.2 million for skills training and RM50 million for Tamil schools were all obtained through recommendations by the EPU," he told reporters in the Parliament lobby.
Human Resources Minister Datuk Dr S. Subramaniam said Murugiah should mind his own business and focus on his job.
Last year, Federal Territories Deputy Minister Datuk M. Saravanan lambasted Murugiah for saying that Kuala Lumpur City Hall, which comes under the Federal Territories Ministry, should undertake lift repair work at a privately-owned condominium in Sentul.
Who is doing a good job in their respective position?
