Melaka MIC Chief To Lead MIC Machinery For Merlimau By-Election

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 2 (Bernama) -- Melaka MIC chairman Datuk R. Perumal has been appointed the party's election operations director for the Merlimau by-election on March 6.

MIC President Senator Datuk G. Palanivel said in a press statement here on Wednesday that he had also appointed former state chairman Datuk R. Ragavan as the adviser and Jasin MIC division chief S. Periamallai as the deputy director.

"All division leaders and branch chairmen in Melaka and the central working committee members will be involved in reaching out to Indian voters," he said.

Nomination for the by-election is on Feb 26.

The seat fell vacant following the death of incumbent assemblyman Datuk Mohamad Hidhir Abu Hassan, 54, of Barisan Nasional on Jan 20.

Palanivel said the party's central working committee members would actively coordinate the operations to ensure a good victory for the BN.
