MIC WILL DRAG BN TO THE OCEAN FLOOR IF THERE’S NO CHANGE IN THEIR LEADERSHIP

Disgust, that’s what I felt right now. I think it’s unfair for the Indians and also to other Barisan Nasional’s component party. What I saw yesterday is someone trying to overstay his expiry date, or probably someone who didn’t realize that he has expiry date too.

Samy Vellu was unofficially elected for the 1th term as no one will be challenging him for the presidency post come next party election.

I’m quite surprised by this. I found the Indians were very vocal at the last general election.

Their dissatisfaction was expressed through the ballot box. Though their numbers are small, no one can dismiss how important their votes were.

During the last general election they protested by voting against BN. This caused many MIC candidates lost their battle against Pakatan Rakyat. In some constituency where their small number can make or break a candidate, their votes were used to the full advantage.

Many Indians believe that MIC is an elitist Indian party. They ignored the Indians predicaments. They couldn’t care less about the problems faced by the Indians.

If MIC claimed to have given their very best to represent the Indians, I guess their very best is not good enough. The ballot box has proven that the Indians are not satisfied with their leaders.

One of the victims of their own undoing is their very own President, Samy Vellu who lost at his strong hold in Sg Siput. Tell me. Are they signaling that they like him? I don’t think so. Is he dumb enough to think that the Indians still love him?

At this point of time, I guess MIC is the only BN’s component party who has learnt from the recent general election is MIC. This is an opportunity for them to rebrand their party. They need to bring back the Indian votes that they’ve lost.

The old guards in MIC have to vacate their post and this includes Samy Vellu. They need to introduce new leaders as soon as possible. They can’t wait till the next general election. Re-branding and re-thinking their direction should take place now, not tomorrow.

Samy Vellu overstaying his welcome will eventually drag down BN to the bottom of the ocean.

Whats the point UMNO, MCA and GERAKAN electing new leaders when another major component party refuse to change. Like I said earlier, this selfish act will eventually bring them down.

What I’m seeing today is like another cliché Tamil movies where the local warlords refuse to give in to the demand of the local peasants. Later a young hero was introduced to save these peasants and over throw the savage warlords.

What the Indians in MIC need is a Rajinikanth to get rid of Samy Vellu and other selfish and power hungry warlords.

If nothing being done soon, MIC will play an important role in turning BN into a MICkey Mouse Club. I hope Najib will persuade Samy Vellu to step down. He won’t improve the situation. He leaving the party post is not for BN, only but for Indians as a whole. They need younger and more down to earth leaders, not another local samseng disguising themselves as politicians.
