Indians are generally crazy of gold. The price per gram now stands at RM 125.00 and probably many Indians are hard hit in their quest to amass gold for their posterity.
However, for Samy Vellu, MIC president for 32 years, the soaring price of gold seems to have no effect.
According to his mouthpiece Tamil Nesan daily, Samy Vellu offered gold ornaments to Hindu goddess Kaliamman.

However, for Samy Vellu, MIC president for 32 years, the soaring price of gold seems to have no effect.
According to his mouthpiece Tamil Nesan daily, Samy Vellu offered gold ornaments to Hindu goddess Kaliamman.
Tamil Nesan
Accompanying him to the Jalan Ipoh, Kampong Kassipillai Sri Maha Kaliaman temple was his lovely family; wife Indrani and daughter in law Shaila Nair Vell Paari.
The offering of gold to goddess Kali was supposed to be part of Samy Vellu’s 73rd. birthday celebration.
Samy Vellu’s ishta thevathai or choice of Hindu god is interesting. Does he possess all the traits of Kali?
In Hinduism, Kali is known to be fearful and vicious goddess often carrying a machete in her hand. Many worshippers still offer animal scarifies to Kali, but now, this inhumane offering has been prohibited in many Malaysian Hindu temples.
One cannot question Samy Vellu’s choice of god and the type of offerings -- be it a gold spear, gold teeth, gold garland or whatever -- he wishes to provide his favorite goddess for eternal power till his death.
That’s, of course, his human rights if the expenses he shove on the goddess comes from his legitimate earnings.
Is that the case with Samy Vellu?
From Maika Holdings to AIMST University, countless charges of hijacking people’s money has been leveled on Samy Vellu and reported to the relevant authorities in the last three decades.
Just days ago, Makkal Osai Tamil daily accused Samy Vellu of pocketing RM 200,00 donated by National Land Finance Co Operative Society (NLFCS) to Maju Institute of Education Development (MIED).
Samy Vellu did not deny taking but said the money was donated for General election purpose which itself an offence under elections laws.
If Samy Vellu can get money like this, why he would bother about gold price?
He even can offer golden crown for goddess Kali from the money he hijacked from poor plantation workers to silence goddess kali as he used to silence reporters, MIC members and others who could challenge him.
Gods silence is understandable. God speaks only in Tamil movies and not in real life. If God can speak in real life, goddess kali will definitely refuse the tainted offerings from Samy Vellu.
On the contrary, some earthly creatures are willing to sell their soul for a miserable flight ticket to Delhi.
The two mainstream media, The Star and The New Straits Times, are keeping their dead silence on Samy Vellu even though they have enough resources, unlike Tamil Dailies with their limited readership, to pursue and expose Samy Vellu’s misdeeds.
The English dailies are silent. Their reporters have no journalistic ethics. They allow themselves to be bought by crook politicians. More so, they will glorify the swindlers birthday.
The NSTP reporter Suganthi Suparmaniam has no time to write about MIED scandals. Samy Vellu 73rd. birthday story is more important for the Indian community than the RM 200, 000 hijack because of the free trip she took to Delhi where she stayed in a five star hotel.
All paid by Samy Vellu.
The Star reporter Letchumanan is worse, making annual Parvasi pilgrimage for more than ten years on Samy Vellu’s bill. His duty is to spin stories for Samy Vellu who is untouchable in the Star for his murky stories.
Can you expect Letchumanan to write on the illegal transfer of RM 200,000 from MIED purportedly used for election expenses?
Obviously, Letchumanan will not write anything that could jeopardize his annual free pilgrimage for the next ten years.
Samy Vellu not only silenced English daily reporters, the current MIC CWC members, too.
In the first two meetings, the temperature was very high. To cool the members, Samy Vellu threw a 50 % discount offer, some 100 %, for the entire CWC members Parvasi trip to Delphi.
The irony was that former MIC deputy president Subramaniam supporters also took Samy Vellu’s offer.
Now, you know why the subsequent CWC meetings became a tame affair and hardly noticed by the media.
Did Suganthi Supramaniam, Letchumanan and MIC CWC members realize that the money Samy Vellu paid from his pocket may come from the RM 200, 000 stolen from poor plantation workers who toiled the rubber and oil palm estates to pay the RM 10 per month?
“Arasan andru kolvan, Deivam nindru kollum”, a Tamil old adage. The King will punish you immediately but God will punish you later, if you translate it crudely.
Let’s have faith in Goddess Kali: she will not be easily bribed like the earthly creatures.
