Two separate political developments are percolating with both sharing the same aim – to oust Samy Vellu and make MIC attractive to the Indian community again.

Political analyst Tricia Yeoh says the government must find the will to re-examine its policies to resolve persistent problems of the Indian Malaysian community.

Party president S Samy Vellu-mooted rebranding exercise - seen as being vital to regain the trust of the Indian community - has so far been very cosmetic in nature, claims a former party leader.

It is learnt that the leaders of the two Indian-based parties have started unofficial talks on the possibility of a merger for the sake of the community.




Vigneswaran also takes a potshot at party president Samy Vellu, challenging him to step down from the party for the sake of the community.



The Hindraf chairperson, who is in self-imposed exile in London, accuses the Home Minister of lying in suggesting that the government did not revoke his passport.


The ISA-detained Hindraf leader needs to be referred to the National Heart Institute (IJN) urgently for a proper treatment, says his brother Waythamoorthy.









Opposition parties forming state gov'ts in Selangor, Perak, Penang and Kedah have been urged to repay the 'makkal sakthi' by appointing Indians as deputy menteris besar.

Party leaders and family members deny rumours about his death and that the news was being kept under wraps until after tomorrow's general elections.

AP Muguntha, a once close associate of MIC president S Samy Vellu, says the time for change has come and the community must wake up to the realisation that the party has failed to represent them.
