Midlands Tamil School board: Death Threat to Legal Threat

The spat between MIC central working committee member K P Samy and Klang Midlands Tamil School board is still lingering. 

On Sunday, the Bandar Botanic MIC Branch Chairman R N Nathan came to the defense of his party comrade K P Samy whose Travel Agency was stormed by Klang Midlands Tamil School board members earlier. 

The School Board, subsequently, has returned K P Samy’s RM 100 for criticizing the rate charged for the multi-purpose hall as ‘a day-light robbery’. 

Uthaya Sooriyan is the Chairman of Midlands Tamil School board and also happen to be the Chairman of Klang Simpang Lima Tamil School Parents and Teachers Association.

Now, RN Nathan wanted to know if hypothetically K P Samy were to criticize Simpang Lima Tamil School, “will Uthaya Sooriyan return K P Samy’s RM 50,000 donations for the school building fund?”

Indeed, a fair question.

Uthaya Sooriyan responded rather swiftly unlike his total silence on several legitimate issues. According to Makkal Osai Tamil daily, Sooriyan denied having any knowledge of K P Samy’s purported donation to Simpang Lima Tamil School.

“Before uttering any allegation or information, examine the truth”, Sooriyan said.

“Definitely not (K P Samy RM 50,000 donation) during my tenure (PTA Chairman)”

Sooriyan could have stopped with those statements but same like the childish act of returning the money, he issued a legal threat, “Nathan must substantiate his claim within a week, and otherwise legal proceeding will be instituted”.

Unperturbed by this legal threat, Nathan has produced the following from Year 2008 Annual Magazine of Simpang Lima Tamil School where it is listed in page 14 that KPS brothers and KPS Travels donated RM 50,000in memory of Mutthamal (K P Samy’s mother).

Sooriyan, being in social service for more than two decades, should be well aware that he is not above criticism.

The state government provided the land to Midlands Tamil School. That’s Malaysian tax payer’s money.

I-city provided the money to build the Scholl. That’s Malaysian tax payer’s money.

Thus, every Malaysian has the right to question you.
