SG BESAR POLLS MIC will not be informing voters in the twin by-elections of the party's opposition to the 'Hudud Bill'.

MIC president S Subramaniam said this when asked if his party would follow MCA's example of making its rejection of hudud known to voters.

"On the ground up till now that is not an issue; so for the present moment we will not use it in our campaign," Subramaniam told reporters when met in Sungai Besar today.

Asked if this would affect chances of rejecting hudud in Parliament, the health minister said: "We will face it when it happens."

Subramaniam, together with MCA president Liow Tiong Lai and Gerakan president Mah Siew Keong had previously said he would quit the cabinet if hudud law is implemented in Malaysia.

Meanwhile on support from the Indian community for BN, the MIC president said he expects there to be a five percent increase.

"Out of the 829 Indian voters, we expect there to be 70 percent support. Previously it was 65 percent."

Subramaniam said the increase was due to dissatisfaction over DAP and the Selangor state government's handling of temple and school issues in the area.

He added that the only obstacle now was getting the Indian voters out to cast their ballots.

Sungai Besar is a Malay majority seat, although in the three-way fight between BN, PAS and Amanah, 800 votes could make a significant difference.

BN had previously won the seat in 2013 with a razor-thin majority of just 399 votes.
