Much has been said about the poor Indian community and the MIC and in summary, everything points to the common denominator that the Indian community is akin to an orphan in his own house and the MIC is irrelevant. Yes, it is not an exaggeration to say that the MIC is irrelevant, and whether it exists or not is immaterial. The crumbs and leftovers which the Indians are getting now will continue irrespective of the MIC's presence.

To make the MIC more relevant to the Indian community there has to be a complete overhaul with the present redundant leader told to just vamoose. The present leadership with a paper tiger (also known as the MIC president) has lost its dignity over the last 25 years or so. He has made the party a stooge and an easy pushover at the mercy of the Umnoputras.

He has sold out the Indian community outright. His ego-incensed megalomania has also made him do away with the party's second full ministership (not that with another minister the community will be imbued with milk and hone). With a group of the deaf and dumb swaying under his orders, his authoritarian dictatorship continues unabated.

It is worth noting that this is the same guy who had vociferously and viciously questioned the late Tun Sambanthan on what the latter had done for the community after 17 years of being the MIC president. Now it's time for the Indian community to ask Samy what he has done for the Indian community after being MIC leader for 27 years. The Indian equity when compared with the other communities is a pittance amounting to beggary with not even a two percent.

The rides he has taken the community on is there for everyone to see. MIC delegates, the redundant, deadwood, whoever you are, please wake up and do something for the Indian community. For the start, what you can do is to get rid of this guy and his cohorts and infuse fresh blood devoid of any mutant from the past into the MIC. Please do it and find salvation!
