MIC may follow Umno to put off party polls

comments     Published     Updated

The MIC may follow Umno's move to defer party elections scheduled for next year to concentrate on preparation for the next general election.

MIC president Samy Vellu was quoted by Bernama as saying that it was possible for the party to postpone its elections, but no decision has been made.

"Otherwise, we will continue with the meetings (and elections). We do not know when the general election will be held...but we can consider such a proposal," he told reporters after opening the Tamil Youth Bell Club general assembly in Seremban today.

Samy Vellu said according to the schedule, MIC branch meetings should be held by Feb 28, division meetings by March 31 and state meetings by April 30 next year.

"The MIC general assembly should be held before August. If it is to be held after August, we need approval from the Registrar of Societies," he said.
