Samy slams upper class Indians who only talk big

comments     Published     Updated

MIC president S.Samy Velly has taken to task "upper class Indians" in the country who are bent on criticising the party but do little to help the community.

"These people talk big but do little to help the poor Indians. When we embark on some projects to help the community, they get angry and influence others not to support us," he was quoted by national news agency Bernama as saying today.

Samy Vellu said this attitude was very much evident in the on-going fund raising drive for the party's Asian Institute of Medicine, Science and Technology (AIMST) which is currently being developed in Sungai Petani, Kedah.

"These rich Indians have not contributed a single sen and also ask others not to give. If we don't help ourselves, who is going to help us," he said at a fund raising dinner for the AIMST organised by three MIC branches here in Ipoh, Perak last night.
