Samy's sober review of what he and MIC needs to do


KUALA LUMPUR, Sat:

MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu said he can now devote all his time towards rebuilding the party and reuniting the Indian community.
Calling on the Indians to set aside their differences, he vowed to embrace the younger generations strength and ideas into the 62-year-old party.
“Nothing is too little, too late. We can always start afresh and look towards a new beginning,” he said in a press statement today
Samy said that although the morale of some MIC members could be dented after the stunning defeats of many candidates, he stressed that the MIC is still intact.
“However, we need to rebuild the party and bring in young people who will take over the leadership,” he said, urging grassroots leaders to remain united and carry on with their work.
Samy said the MIC hoped to recruit at least 300,000 members from within the younger generation. It now has 630,000 members in 3,700 branches.
The Youth, Putera and Puteri wings will be strengthened and given more leverage to pull in the younger people, he said.
Samy Vellu said MIC will also conduct a post-mortem on the performance of its candidates and the voting trends among the Indians.
Top leaders who lost were still elected party leaders who will continue to steer the party and the community towards uplifting their socio-economic condition.
“There will also be changes in the way the party operates,“ he said. “Many of the younger generation voted for the opposition due to various reasons.

PM kata dia akan berunding dengan Raja Perlis. Dulu di Johor pun ada rundingan juga.

Biasanya dalam sesuatu krisis, kena alih perhatian orang ke isu lain. Apa isu Perlis dan Terengganu merupakan "isu-isu lain"

Dalam tempuh pemerintahan Dato Seri Abdullah, kedua-dua Raja Perlis dan Sultan terengganu tinggal di Kuala Lumpur sebagai Agong.

My dear Tunku,

You should advise our super tambi Samy Veloo (or semi-value) that his days are numbered and the MIC does not want him. In fact the MIC has become irrelevant as the Indians now want Hindraf. Advise you good friend the tambi to go back to look after cows or sell putu mayam in Sungei Siput.Clearly our Sleepy Head Pak Lah is angry with him and may stop his pension.

Have a nice day Tunku. Don't think too much of your good friend Samy

I still remember Samy boasting that more than 70% of Indian registered voters are MIC members. I just wonder how many of them registered themselves and how many of them being registered by their relatives or MIC leaders themselves and never pay the annual fees.

The same also applies to UMNO. Ramai orang Melayu yang ahli UMNO sebenarnya tak tahu mereka ahli UMNO. Meramaikan ahli Umno hanya untuk sesuatu cawangan boleh bergerak dan berAGM dan menunjukkan "gah"nya seseorang ketua cawangan/bahagian supaya boleh naik ke peringkat nasional.

Jadi bila "orang Umno" tidak undi BN, mereka in the first place bukan orang Umno.

Umno perlu bangun dari tidur untuk terus hidup!
