Samy: Nothing for Indians in 8MP

MIC president S Samy Vellu has criticised former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad for not giving anything to the Indian Malaysian community under the Eighth Malaysia Plan (8MP).
According to a front-page report in Tamil daily Makkal Osai today, Samy Vellu said Mahathir had promised 'this and that but in the end told the community nehi ('no' in Hindi)'. (.....more)

Samy puts his foot in his mouth

18/05/06 “Former PM Dr. Mahathir gave nothing to Malaysian Indians” says Samy Vellu as reported by Makkal Osai, yesterday.

Now, Samy Vellu puts his foot in his mouth, accusing the paper of twisting his words and threatening lawsuits to silence his critics. Worried of negative impact on his statements, he has quickly moved to do some damage control by heaping praises on Mahathir.

Samy Vellu Hits Back At NGO

By S. Retnanathan

PUTRAJAYA, Aug 17 (Bernama) -- MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu today launched a stinging attack against a non-governmental organisation, the Hindu Rights Action Force (HINDRAF), which claimed that the Barisan Nasional (BN) government had done little to address the woes of the Malaysian Indian community over the last 50 years. (......more)

 

Speaking at the Johor BN convention on July 25, the prime minister Mahathir quipped that it was very cheap for him to treat Malaysian Indian Congress president S Samy Vellu to a meal because he was a vegetarian.
All he had to do, Mahathir said, was to go and cut some blades of grass to serve the MIC president. Mahathir subsequently apologised for the joke.

Mahabharatha started in MIC says Samy in a closed door meeting held in Puchong for MIC branch leaders of Puchong, Serdang and Subang divisions. Malaysia Nanban headline - 16/09/05.

Some excerpts from samy's speech:

"I have been president for several years but till today never gave away anything to my family that belongs to Indian community. MIC got 5 petrol stations and I gave it MIC."

"55 police reports were made accusing me of swindling Maika holdings money. When did I ever manage Maika? Velpaari (Samy's son) went in only when Maika was about to collapse and he saved it"

"Lots of problems in society but some are playing politics from morning till night."

Samy: Government action needed for Indians to get 3% equity “If it doesn’t happen in the next five years (when the OPP3 runs out), there is no point in talking about it anymore. What is the point of meeting in forum after forum on how to achieve the 3% equity?

“If nothing happens by then, we won’t ask anything from the Government anymore. We’ll close shop,” he said after attending a briefing on economic issues by the National Economic Action Council to 500 Indian corporate leaders and politicians here yesterday. - The Star 14/10/05
