Samy, it's time to go, says Mahathir

KUALA LUMPUR: Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad said last night it was time for MIC president S Samy Vellu to retire."Samy, it's time to go," he said.
"In my (era of) leadership, almost everybody has retired," Mahathir added, "even me."
"He is the only one left," he told reporters after watching the "Mulan & Mushu" theatre performance here last night.
Mahathir said Samy Vellu had set the record for being the longest-serving leader of a political party in the country.
He was asked to comment on the latest development in the party in the wake of the sacking of MIC secretary-general S Murugessan for demanding explanation over the removal of four party members who called for Samy Vellu's immediate resignation.
