COMMENT Various explanations have been advanced as to why P Waythamoorthy resigned as deputy minister and why the memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed between the BN and Persatuan Hindraf Malaysia never got off the ground.

Predictably the two parties to the agreement have sought to blame the other side for this debacle.

Waythamoorthy has pointed the finger squarely at Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak and his lack of leadership qualities and insincerity in implementing the MOU.

From the other side, statements from the PM’s Umno cabinet colleagues, Khairy Jamaluddin and Hishammuddin Hussein, have depicted Waythamoorthy as being selfish, ineffective in representing Indian issues and “not a team player”.
