I refer to The Star's report entitled President: IPF won't be dissolved as long as I'm alive . I am disappointed that this paper has resorted to hyperbole with regards to the events at the recent IPF general assembly.

The supposedly 'anti-Samy Vellu vernacular paper identified was Makkal Osai , a new Tamil paper. It gives equal coverage to both IPF President MG pandithan and his opponents. It reports facts with reason.

It is neither 'anti-Samy Vellu nor pro-anybody. It is a people's paper. It respects the readers who pay to buy the paper unlike Malaysia Nanban and Tamil Nesan of which some of the reporters are on the payroll of MIC President S Samy Vellu. So much for journalistic integrity among some Tamil journalists.

The opponents/dissidents in IPF are not against Samy's and Pandithan's renewed friendship despite both being vitriolic calling each other names in the past. What they want is proper accounting of party funds and of other donations to IPF. Perhaps the dissidents are being totally unfair in the eyes of The Star in wanting what is considered legal and decent.

Makkal Osai is the only Tamil paper that reports without rear and favour the truth of the Indian Malaysian community. The other two Tamil dailies have become MIC's propaganda papers.

Samy and Pandithan will realise that Indian Malaysians are more than them in the coming elections.
