MIC boss to reveal ‘holistic proposal’

Palanivel, who will be chairing his first party AGM, is expected to reveal a new proposal for the Indian community.

PETALING JAYA: MIC president G Palanivel, who will be chairing his first party annual general meeting (AGM) this weekend, will reveal a new proposal for the Indian community.

“He will be delivering a far-reaching holistic proposal for the community,” said MIC secretary-general S Murugesan.

However, he declined to elaborate on the proposal.
This AGM would also see Palanivel breaking from tradition by holding the two-day event at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC) instead of the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC).

Commenting on the change of venue, Murugesan said: “PWTC cannot accommodate all those we have invited.”

“For the first time we have invited all branch chairmen,” he added.

In the past, only 1,500 delegates attended the party AGMs but this time around, explained Murugesan, a total of 3,700 branch chairmen would be present.

Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak, who would be officiating at the AGM, is also scheduled to launch the party magazine MIC Times and its new online broadcast site, MIC TV.
