PUTRAJAYA, July 15 (Bernama) -- MIC deputy president Datuk G. Palanivel has expressed gratitude to MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu for endorsing him to retain the party position at the party election, two months away.
"I am indeed, grateful to the president for endorsing me for the post. I have always believed that in being a deputy, you have to abide by whatever decision taken by the president.
"I will do my best to live up to the expectations, confidence and trust placed upon me by the party, its members and the community," he told Bernama when contacted.
Earlier Wednesday, Samy Vellu announced that he had endorsed Palanivel to retain the seat at the party elections on Sept 12. The party polls, to be participated by 1,400 divisional delegates, would elect a deputy president, three vice-presidents and 23 central working committee (CWC) members.
The deputy presidency is expected to be a three-cornered fight involving Palanivel, former deputy president Datuk S. Subramaniam and incumbent vice-president Datuk S. Sothinathan.
Both Subramaniam and Sothinathan have announced their bid to contest the party's second highest post.
Samy Vellu also announced that Human Resources Minister and MIC secretary-general Datuk Dr S. Subramaniam, Federal Territories Deputy Minister and party information chief Datuk M. Saravanan and Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk S. K. Devamany were the "chosen" three vice-presidents.
Meanwhile, Saravanan expressed gratitude to the MIC president, saying that he would repay the confidence with hardwork for the betterment of the party and the Indian community.
He believed that delegates to the assembly in September would endorse the president's choice.
Devamany said, while the resposibility placed was heavy, he would carry it diligently, adding that members should work towards uniting the community and ensure MIC became a respectable political institution.
