KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 3 (Bernama) -- Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Senator Datuk T. Murugiah has denied an online newspaper report that he was given two weeks by the MIC to bring in his supporters.
He said the Malaysiakini's report on Monday was false and questioned the credibility of the sources.
Murugiah, who was former People's Progressive Party (PPP) youth leader, said MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu did not set any condition when he joined the party.
"Of course, I had promised to bring some 200,000 supporters to join the MIC and they agreed to do so," he told a news conference at the Dewan Negara secretary's office here Tuesday.
Malaysiakini reported that the MIC Central Working Committee recently decided to give Murugiah two weeks to produce a list of 200,000 supporters he claimed he had and get them to join the party.
Murugiah, who joined the MIC on July 24, was sacked by PPP president Datuk M. Kayveas after a protracted struggle for power last year.
