Klang businessman and Shah Bandaraya MIC chairman K P Samy was once the strongest critic of Samy Vellu. Not anymore. Now, he has joined hands with Samy Vellu campaigning for National Front candidate S Ganesan in the Bukit Selambau by-election.
“Don’t destroy MIC by voting the opposition. The people must know the difference between sense of struggle and voting rights. Having a long history, MIC needs Bukit Selambau Indian votes for taking people’s issues to higher authorities”, said K P Samy at a campaign meeting held at Taman Ria Jaya, according to Makkal Osai Tamil daily report today.

“Put aside your emotional judgment, the time now is for sensible judgment. We have elected many new faces in the general elections. When comparing before and after the general elections, our community incurred more losses. We cannot let this to continue. Voting for National Front candidate is imperative”, he added.
In the 12th general elections MIC was totally wiped out. Many lost their parliament and state seats including MIC president Samy Vellu, deputy president Palanivel, vice-president Sothinathan, youth chairman Vickneswaran and Women chairman Komala Krishnamoorthi.
“MIC was destroyed the day Indian Malaysians held the unprecedented mass protest. On March 08 2008, MIC was buried for good”, said a political observer who does not wish to be identified. “Why destroy a dead party? They still don’t get the message”.
Ironically, K P Samy, a charismatic figure having MIC grass root support, has been assisting Hindraf detainees.
