"When Samy Vellu became the MIC president in 1982, the community hero-worshipped him and gave him their support. But, he failed miserably to speak out for the Indians when he had the chance to do so and disappointed them."
Sivakumar said Samy Vellu should have put his foot down when confronted by those who stood in his way.
"He may have done things for the Indians, but he failed on the bigger issue. He cannot blame the government alone."
He said Samy Vellu should have fought for jobs, training, grants and housing for them.
"He should have asked for an allocation to nurture them. This is where the government could have ensured that the nation's wealth was fairly distributed."
Sivakumar said the agricultural knowledge of these people could have been put to good use "but all the talents are lost now".
Instead, hardcore and urban poverty was created with many youths choosing a life of crime to support themselves.
tunku : just before 2008 he was the king of indians in malaysia. he is above all, no wants could touch him as he was untouchable. anyone try to fight him will be shown exit door. now the world is different for samy vellu but i guess he has plenty of money, he don't care much.now it's just to make people remember him for something, otherwise whenever his name is mention people will curse him.

My dear Tunku,
