Elections closes in has MIC secured the right candidate for Sg Siput seat?

Datuk Seri G. Palanivel and his team in MIC are working really hard, to reverse the outcome of the 2008 election but the burning question is ‘Do they have a winnable candidate?’ Do they have a suitable candidate who shares the same spirit of the Leaders in MIC?

Lets look at Sg Siput – MIC needs a candidate who possesses the qualities of Datuk Seri Utama S. Samy Vellu.

Samy Vellu had done a fantastic job while being the MP of his constituency Sg Siput. He has helped eradicate social illnesses, and also the level of poverty among the community.

With the run up to the elections closes in has MIC secured the right candidate for Sg Siput seat? The candidate who is slated to contest is what locals would describe as ‘Parachuted candidate’ into MIC in the early 90s. He does not have the support of the grassroot leaders.He is also described as arrogant, selfish, and has not done much for his current constituency and the Indian community. Rumors says that he has also made his immediate relatives and family members rich in many ways than one.

According to the people here they would definitely prefer Datuk Seri Utama S. Samy Vellu to contest in Sg Siput.

With that being said, has MIC made a wise choice by fielding this candidate here? We will just have to wait and see.
