The Prime Minister must find an equitable solution to the mess in MIC's education arm and placate the Indian community.
PETALING JAYA: A MIC leader wants Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak to step in and help resolve the scandal-ridden Maju Institute of Educational Development (MIED), MIC’s education arm.
V Thiagarajen, Taman Mujur MIC branch chairman, submitted a memorandum to the PM’s office last week, asking Najib to be firm in dealing with MIED.
Thiagarajen better known as VT Rajen, said he does not want a repeat of the Maika Holdings fiasco which plagued the MIC for over 30 years and left a scar in the Malaysian Indian phyche.
“Millions of hard earned ringgit from the Indian community have been mismanaged and wasted and now the same thing is happening in MIED,” he added.
Most of the Indian voters, said Rajen, deserted the MIC and BN in the 2008 general election, which led to the defeat of party heavyweights, including former president S Samy Vellu.
“It was largely due to the Maika Holdings scandal. The anger and dissatisfaction among the Indian community were not only directed at the MIC but also BN, for failing to help,” he said.
The MIED is embroiled in controversy with allegations of mismanagment, financial losses, awarding contracts to cronies, and close relatives of its chief Samy Vellu.
Rajen said the poor management of MIED must be taken seriously by the government and Najib must find an equitable solution to the mess and pacify the Indian community.
MIED hit the headlines after allegations that a total of RM5.265 million were missing from its account. Critics have also questioned the awarding of contracts relating to the construction of the Asian Institute of Medicine Science and Technology (AIMST).
