Indian debate debacle

The Traveler, Sunday,
Politics find strange bed fellows. In July 2010, K P Samy organized an anti-Samy Vellu gathering, during the height of MIC deputy president Palanivel’s conspiracy to depose Samy Vellu, at Klang Dewan Hamzah. Sensing a huge turnout, Samy Vellu sent his attack dogs led by the Selangor MIC Information chief Subramaniam who successfully completed the mission to disrupt the meeting at any cost.

On July 14, 2012, K P Samy and very same attack dog Subramaniam who spewed vulgarities and flexed his mussel, joined hands to debate Klang MP Charles Santiago and Senator Ramakrishnan at same Klang Dewan Hamzah venue. K P Samy & MIC Attack dog Subramaniam However, the debate did not take place as planned. MIC secretary Murugesan earlier has sent a letter stating the MIC disinterest in the debate, PKR wanted to debate only with UMNO and MP Kulasegaran only wanted to debate with Palanivel. Apparently, the organizer’s of the debate disallowed MIC’s unsanctioned representatives K P Samy and attack dog Subramaniam to participate resulting both of them to walkout, according Malaysia Nanban Tamil daily. Furthermore, the DAP duo only interested to take on MP’s, Senators, Deputy Ministers, Ministers and not political underlings. By the same logic, why should Palanivel take on Kulasegaran? Who is Kulasegaran? Why this Kulasegaran specifically calling Palanivel to debate? Why not Human Resources Minister Subramaniam? Why not deputy minister Saravanan? Why not deputy minister Devamani? The obvious reason is Palanivel’s Tamil sucks. Those who watch Tamil news can see how Palanivel wobbles to complete a sentence in Tamil.  He has to mix Tamil, English and BM. How is he going to reach the Tamil masses? Unlike Palanivel, the rest are quite proficient in Tamil and can easily swallow Kulasegaran. Both Penang Chief Minister Lim Eng Guan and MCA president Chua Soi Lek must be commended for facing each other in two debates, English and Mandarin, affecting Chinese community. Our fellows in MIC, DAP and PKR are good only in giving all kind of lame excuses. A Tamil proverb come to my mind, “Aada theriyathaval aRangam kONal endralzam” which translated can be “Blame the stage, when you don’t know dancing”. That’s the case with Indian Politian’s.
