Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir does not lwant to leave him alone. Dr Mahathir is sure that he, who is said to have taken a two-month leave because of pressure, is not going to resign from the party's president position. Instead, he “will definitely delay his resignation for 20 years”.
Malay mainstream media greatly criticised him.
Even Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak also does not give him face and has accepted the invitation to launch the newly-formed Malaysia Makkal Sakti Party.
Yes, I'm talking about MIC President Datuk S. Samy Vellu, who has been in the position for 30 years.
“The longer he remains in the position, the more people hate him!”
"It is a plight for Samy, as well as for MIC."
Dr Mahathir's comments on him are ruthless.
“Well, I think the influence of MIC has already been diluted. I think the formation of the party is a good thing because we don’t want to lose the support of the Indians.”
These are Dr Mahathir's heartfelt words. Perhaps, they are as well Najib's thought which is inappropriate for him to express it out.
Even though Najib did not put it in words, he has “explicitly” expressed it through actions. His acceptance of the invitation to launch the Malaysia Makkal Sakti Party on 10 Oct seems to show Samy that the Malaysia Makkal Sakti Party may replace MIC as BN's new allies.
Clearly, MIC has been seen as a “box office poison”. Meanwhile, Samy's power has been greatly diminished and he is now caught in a dilemma.
It is a plight for Samy, as well as for MIC. From another point of view, it can also be regarded as a plight for the Indian community.
The Indian community and the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) used to play a crucial role during the 8 March general elections. But they are now split apart.
There are many Indian political parties in Malaysia and recently, a few more have been formed. Other than the Malaysia Makkal Sakti Party, which had actively participated in the earlier Kampung Pala protection movement, there are also Malaysian Indian United Party and Human Rights Party.
Malaysia Makkal Sakti Party President R. S. Thanenthiran used to be a Hindraf coordinator. Meanwhile, another soul of Hindraf P. Uthayakumar has joined the Human Rights Party as the party's Secretary-General.
Samy will have to leave sooner or later and MIC can also be replaced. It is sad that instead of new hope, the more new parties, which have been labeled as Indian interest fighters, are formed, the greater division,chaos and no future they bring to the Indian Community!
