MIC on transformation – New Era, New Dimension


Prime Minster Najib Tun Razak has done a remarkable job by uplifting the hope of the Indian community in Malaysia. He had resolved many issues related to Indian community successfully, for an example, the MAIKA fiasco.

Further by giving two ministerial positions in the new cabinet and creating various Indian related departments within government to resolve various problems face by this community is another remarkable achievement of our PM.

Then there is a big question which needs an urgent answer. What are the directions and measures that Malaysian Indian Congress [MIC] supposed embarked on to materialize the efforts of our PM?

Malaysian Indian Congress in crossroads now.  A great opportunity is given to them to reinvent themselves to cater the needs of Indian community in Malaysia. Before this, MIC used to be the champion of Indians causes in Malaysia. That was eroded significantly in past years.

The current leadership needs to be reenergized and invented them to suit the current needs of this community.

In my opinion the current leadership is not suited for this need. The change of leadership is vital for the continuous support of this community to the BN led government.

Datuk Seri Dr Subramaniam was elevated as the Health Minister in the new cabinet. That’s a great recognition and the trust that our PM had on him. It is a promotion given by the PM for the efforts that he have done as the Minster of Human Resources. This is so significant. This community needs a leader who has the good working relationship with the top brass of our government to make sure that the waves of the society is always transmitted to our PM.

It’s time for Datuk Dr  Subramaniam to step out from the shadow to take lead role to uplift the community further in this beloved nation.

If he does, then he has the backing of the Indian community, grassroots MIC supporters and even the immediate past president of MIC Datuk Seri S Samy Vellu who had indicated publicly that he is unhappy and unpleased with the way MIC been managed recently especially the approaches of the current leadership.

With general Indian supports swing towards BN led government, the timing of change of leadership in MIC is so crucial for its survival. Therefore the Central Working Committee of MIC which is the decision making body within the party must courageous enough to listen and impose the aspiration of the grassroots supports view that the change is necessary.

Even though the party’s election is not held in near future the rise of new leadership within MIC is so decisive for its own endurance or otherwise the government will finds alternatives that are knocking the door to eliminate MIC from its position in government in imminent.

Brexit: A lesson for Malaysians

Yesterday, Britons through a referendum made a decision to leave European Union. The ruling Conservative Party divided on this referendum and David Cameron in favour of ‘Remain’ was defeated outright. Even though he is disagreed with the decision of Britons, he announced that he is resigning from his premiership in respect of people’s decision. We can expect in a mature democracy country like United Kingdom this is vastly anticipated to be transpired.   A few days ago, the current Chief Commissioner of Malaysian Anti-Corruption of Commission made a statement that he is stepping down from his position and there are some rumours indicating that a few prominent officers from the said Commission will either resign or retire. It’s very eccentric news for Malaysians as it will have a profound impact on bribery and corruption issues in Malaysia as a whole. Recently, the results of two by elections were won by Barisan Nasional, the ruling party of Malaysia. Many promises had been...

Two Tales, Two Leaders - PART 1

Man has dual nature; he is both his own person and a member of his country. On the one hand, the law must protect the individual from the injustices of the multitude.  History has shown how individuals fall prey to mass perversity, their crime being simply a refusal to conform to the beliefs and prejudices of the majority. Anwar Ibrahim, The Asian Renaissance, 1997., Page 63. The value system and ethical code therefore determine the success or failure of corrective measures. If the value system is wrong, corrective measures will not be productive or will be only slightly productive. When the value system motivates, very little corrective measures are needed. Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad, The Malay Dilemma, 1970., Pages 172-173. Introduction Malaysia is our motherland. We love our country. This country has so much of wealth. Even though, Malaysia has agonized considerably in past three decades because of the malpractices of the corrupted characters but she is never fail t...
