The People's Progressive Party (myPPP) president M Kayveas has raised questions about the disbursement of government allocation to the Indian Malaysian community.

He said that while the prime minister has allocated much money to community, the allocation is always channelled through the same people whom he brands as “show artists”.

“They think they represent the Indians but they don't represent the Indians. They represent themselves.

“And today they are a failure, completely illegal, fighting, don't know who is (whom) [...] So much so that we don't want to call anybody (because) we don't know how to call.

“You call this group, that group is angry. You call that group, this group is angry,” he told reporters when met at the sidelines of the party's annual general meeting in Kuala Lumpur today.

However, Kayveas was coy when asked whom was he referring to, saying the he does not want to ruffle anyone's feathers (" cari pasal" ).

A prominent Indian-based BN component party is the MIC, which leadership crisis has led to a split in the party and legal wrangles.

'Can't get appointments'

Kayveas said myPPP should be allowed to provide input on the disbursement of the allocation, and the party is prepared to do so.

At the very least, he said, the party would be able to provide answers when people come to their office asking for allocations.

“(But there is) no opportunity for me to talk. People like me cannot speak. We are prepared to say what is the direction, what is the future […]

“We have been there at the back all the time, without being able to perform because these people have kept us away all the time,” he said.

He lamented that the voice of the Indians grassroots are currently not being represented by BN component parties, in an apparent jibe against MIC.

“(They) can't get appointments to see Indian leaders, can you believe it or not? You cannot see them when you go there, they don't entertain you, they're always busy. No replies.

“I've written letters to Indian ministers who don't bother to reply. What more ordinary people?” he said
