MIC veteran on the slow road to recovery after marathon surgery to stem a brain aneurysm.
KUALA LUMPUR: Former MIC deputy president S Subramaniam is in stable condition after a 12-hour surgery for a brain aneurysm.
A relative of the MIC veteran said he is still unconscious in the intensive care unit (ICU) and appealed to well-wishers to pray for Subramaniam’s speedy recovery.
Subramaniam had warded himself at the Assunta Hospital in Petaling Jaya on Friday night and was transferred to the Pantai Medical Centre on Saturday morning.
He underwent a 12-hour surgery which began at noon to stem a brain aneurysm.
Among those who visited him were many of his MIC colleagues, including former MIC president S Samy Vellu.
There were about 10 well wishers who came to see Subramaniam today and offer support to his wife Christina Suganthi.
Subramaniam, a former deputy minister, was in line to be the heir apparent to the MIC throne in the late 1970s, then helmed by S Manickavasagam.
However, Samy Vellu defeated Subramaniam for the deputy presidency by a razor thin margin and subsequently took over the presidency after Manickavasagam’s demise in 1979.
Subramaniam eventually became Samy Vellu’s second in command but the duo had a bitter sweet working relationship and just prior to the 11th General Election, he was dropped by Samy Vellu.
Samy Vellu subsequently backed G Palanivel to succeed to him, effectively ruling Subramaniam out of the political equation.
