The Malaysian Indians Progressive Association (Mipas) fully supports and appreciates the excellent service done by the federal government that has set up in the Prime Minister’s Department as a special unit the Socio-Economic Development of the Indian Community (Sedic) to channel money to selected non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and training institutions.

The Malaysian Indians Progressive Association (Mipas) and all Malaysians were shocked with the Court of Appeal’s decision in kindergarten teacher M Indira Gandhi’s case. No one expected such an outcome in a trial and it’s such a sad New Year’s gift for Indira Gandhi.

The Malaysian Indians Progressive Association (Mipas) expresses its condolences to the family of Malaysia’s missing Attorney-General’s Chambers Appellate and Trial Division deputy head Anthony Kevin Morais who was found dead on Wednesday (Sept 16th) with his body stuffed in a concrete-filled drum. Based on the chronology of the case since his abduction on Sept 4, it shall be deemed to be gangster-style, high-profile and involves public interest.

The Malaysian Indians Progressive Association (Mipas) strongly disagrees with Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak’s statement in a pre-recorded interview with TV3 last night that he is answerable only to the people, not to any individual. Mipas would like to stress here that an individual person is a part of the people, too.
