Samy's Indian dilemma

The time is not right for a single party system in Barisan Nasional as suggested by Gerakan, MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu said here.

He was commenting on Perak Gerakan chief and national vice-president Datuk Chang Ko Youn’s call to all Barisan Nasional component parties to consider amending their constitutions to accept members from all races in line with the voting trend shifting away from racial politics. He said the results of the recent general election showed that the electorate did not vote according to the racial background of the candidates.

Chang said it was time for Barisan to study the composition of its coalition and the ideologies of the respective political parties.

Samy said in today’s political situation, such a move would dilute the rights of the Indian community.

Samy Vellu said a smaller community like the Indians have to fight for their rights and that could only be done through MIC.


Samy is not jobless now. He has accepted a temporary consultancy job at BOMAG at a JKR road project training pilots of road compactor machine.

PM Science adviser said if you fly in a rocket you are called an astronaut; so if you drive a compactor you can be identified and classified as a Pilot. And if you test the soil by touching it, then you can also accredit yourself as a Scientist.

Samy's dogmatic political ideology cannot change neither could he evolve with reality. He believed only him and his MIC (if he remain as MIC president) can protect the Indians and elevate their living standards.

More than 20 years as MIC president, he had proven that some Indians, (those few Indians who were his cadres) had become rich. Samy may also want to claim credit that Ananda Khrisnan is also an Indian who became rich during his tenure as MIC president.

This is prove that he had help the Indians, at least that few of them that are now rich, including Ananda, and that by itself is a good result because that's the best he can do.

To Samy, the Hindraf was unfair to him, and unfair to cause the Indians to dump him. The leaders of Hindraf were lawyers, which means they were successful because of MIC. By Samy's political philosophy, as long as there are a few Indians who had become lawyers and doctors, it was the result of MIC's effort and contribution.

But Samy is not blind to the more than a million poor Indians who were marginalized. Probably, he believed that they deserved to be what they are. He still believed that only him and MIC under his leadership is the sole protector of the Indians. He is senile... today we have an Indian deputy chief minister in Penang; we have an Indian Exco in Kedah state administration; we will be having an Indian deputy MB in Perak and an Indian Exco in Selangor. The Indians had received better recognition under the Barisan Rakyat conceptualized government. They would be well protected and taken care of by Barisan Rakyat, and they will never need MIC again.

Wake up Samy! Reality is not an illusion.

Oh, by the way, Samy, I didn't know that you have taken control over the toll booth?

Malaysian has this habit of giving tremendous credit to a one time incident/case. You do something tremendous once,then almost everyone will heap praises upon you. AND WHEN YOU FAIL THE NEXT TIME,you GOT HENTAM! So when dap,pkr and pas won big, wow, all the adulation!

MAV sees the various indian in the various positions in the so called 'opposition held states" as testimonies to samy being irrelevent. IT NEVER occurred to him that, these are drama and wayang kulit by the opposition parties to show to us all that they are so prihtin of the minorities!

When a community allow a "leader" to monopoly all their speech and suppress any dissidents, in the name of "unity", the community are deem DOOM. It is a law of nature, nobody can bypass the punishment of not following the rules of nature.

The history has prove it, again and again.

Dear Warrior2, you say
"Malaysian has this habit of giving tremendous credit to a one time incident/case."

Please don't abuse the word "Malaysian", the appropriate term you should use should be Malaysia mainstream media.

moo_t,

I beg to differ with your assertion. It is "Malaysian" true and true. Dont tell me that your familly members and friends and office mates and neighbours and relatives and that you have never read blogs, letters from readers to newspapers about how these people`s admiration of certain achievements by certain people?

If somehow and I find it odd, you dont, I do all the times!

MSM has got nothing to do with this issue!

warrior2,

give adulation and acclamation where appropriate, and i don't see why we cant do that to the opposition.

for 50 years we have been governed by corrupted leaders (not all of course), and maybe now it is time for us to accept the changes brought by the oppostion.

why is it that you have so much suspicion for the opposition, when they are doing good for the people. why dont give them a chance? instead of criticising them for every single thing that they are doing?

Hopeful,

When a person's mind is calcified, his eyes can't read things in proper perspective. Probably, such type of person had enjoyed the excesses of the system's gravy train.

The sad truth is that such type of person were well educated.

Moo_t,

From a political philosophy's point, when a leader helm an institution for a long period, the natural consequence is exactly what happens to MIC and BN.
