The Anti-Samy Movement (GAS) launched a fresh attack against the embattled MIC president, claiming he is demanding a RM11,000 donation from party branches for the party-owned AIMST college, or face closure.
In an about-turn, GAS leader and former MIC deputy youth chief V Mugilan charged that party president S Samy Vellu has threatened not to give registration forms for branches to remain active if they do not cough up the money.
The charge comes barely a day after it was reported that GAS will not touch on anything related to Samy, who has held his post for nearly 30 years, at their second gathering in Klang on June 13.
Mugilan (second from right in photo) questioned Samy's motives, claiming that the college had already received an allocation of some RM300 million.
"I don't know from which ministry (which gave the allocation), but I am sure it came from the federal government," he said at a press conference in Petaling Jaya today.
But Mugilan refused to reveal what evidence he has to back his claim, saying only that GAS found out about the "donation" drive from a court case.

Waiting on Samy
He added that GAS will not lodge a report with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission.
"We want to wait for an answer from him first, how much (has been collected from MIC leaders). If there is no reaction from him, it means something is not right.
"We just want to show party supporters who Samy Vellu really is," he said.
Mugilan, who was booted out from MIC last month for demanding Samy's immediate resignation, organised the first GAS rally last Sunday in a bid to whip up public support to pressure the president to step down within the month.
Some 3,500 out of some 15,000 expected turned up at the Mines Convention Centre for the rally, which Mugilan called a success despite "gangster tactics" to derail the event.
Mugilan later double-backed on his GAS attack on Wednesday, filing an appeal against his sacking ,promising that Samy can "sleep well" as they will not touch on anything related to him at their June 13 rally at Dewan Hamzah, Klang.
