Another MIC Classic
KUALA LUMPUR: There was mixed reaction to MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu’s statement that he would seek support from other countries if the government continues to ignore the Indian community.
MIC Puteri chief J. Usha Nandhini said the statement must not be taken negatively as Samy Vellu had spoken as a guardian of Indians in the country.
“I don’t think it’s a threat. Previously, he spoke as a cabinet minister, now he is speaking at a different platform. He has to speak for the 600,000 MIC members and the 1.7 million Indians in the country,†she said.
“As the party president and former senior cabinet minister, for him to say this shows that the government has to be fast in implementing whatever policies that it has promised.†NST Online

Here is another classic MIC script. First our Samy acted tough - said he will seek support from other countries if the government continues to ignore the Indian community. Then Big Brother from Umno/BN, Najib stepped in and said he will ask Samy why and what did he mean when he made that statement. So far I don’t think he did ask Samy, and even if he did it must have been done in private - away from from the ears of the people.
Then in came the MIC supporting actors, trying to explain what Samy meant, instead of Samy explaining it himself. But here the script gets a bit messy. Read the above explaination given by the MIC Puteri chief. Tell me what kind of explaination is that? How do you connect what she said with the statement that Samy made about getting support from other countries? It beats me!
Not enough? Now this is even better. Federal Territory MIC exco member Datuk Daljit Singh Dalliwal said what the MIC president meant was to get education and business support from foreign countries. “There is no harm in getting help in terms of economic improvement or to get education for people who have the qualifications,†he said.
Now atleast this one makes some sense but then, how did he know what Samy meant? Did he recieve some revelations? Or did Samy tell it to him? If Samy can tell him why didn’t he tell the press earlier instead of getting an exco member to defend his statement? And why didn’t the MIC deputy or vice president or Wanita MIC president do the explaination for Samy? Instead he send a MIC Puteri chief and an exco member to explain and defend his statement! He must have run out of soldiers!
Just another MIC Classic!
