‘Court action if Cheras MIC delegates allowed to vote’

A Cheras MIC leader says he will take court action if the party does not heed the ROS order and allowed Cheras division delegates to vote in the party election on Saturday.

KUALA LUMPUR:Cheras MIC division deputy chief K Palanisamy has threatened to take legal action if the division’s delegates are allowed to vote in the party election on Saturday.

ROS deputy director Alias Mamat, in a letter to MIC secretary-general A Sakthivel on Nov 21, told the party to iron out the problems in the Cheras division as the issue could affect the party’s annual general meeting.

“We will not hesitate to drag the party to court, if the Cheras division delegates are allowed to vote in the election on Saturday,” Palanisamy told reporters at Royal Selangor Club in here.

Recently, Palanisamy had written to the ROS saying that the branch meetings were held simultaneously on July 21 at the Cheras MIC division office in Taman Kobena, Cheras.

However, Sakthivel said yesterday Cheras division delegates were entitled to vote in the election after discussing with the management committee.

There are eight delegates, including the chairman, in the Cheras division.

“This is a very serious issue and I hope the party leadership will not repeat the same mistake as they did when they reversed the suspension of the Youth election results in less than 24 hours.

“ROS made it clear that allowing Cheras division delegates to vote will affect the party polls. But, the MIC leadership is adamant on this matter,” said Palanisamy.

He also said he had sent more than 10 letters to Sakthivel but there was no reply until today.

Wangsa Maju division former deputy chairman M Thanakodi said he would also write to the ROS on the phantom voters in his division.

“I have asked the party leadership to sort out the phantom-voter issue in my division but they have not taken any action.

“I have no choice but to go the ROS,” he told FMT.

A check showed that the ROS had received 48 complaints lodged by MIC leaders who were unhappy with their division election results.
