Samy stated in a press before election that if he wins the party presidential elections then, it will be his last term and he will retire from active politics in 2012. Lets see what's going to happen then. Samy joined the party in 1959 and became the Youth Chief in 1971 before becoming the vice-president in 1975. He took up the acting party president in 1979 after the death of Tan Sri V Manickavasagam. He then got elected to the top post in 1981, which he held on until today.
The very fact that Samy Vellu lost his seat in Sungai Siput to Dr Jeyakumar was evidence that people had rejected him totally, he should just accept the fact that he has overstayed in the politics. The message was further amplified when he never got a "Tun" from Yang Dipertuan Agong but Gerakan’s advisor deserve it. It’s another obvious signal that Samy Vellu’s 'highly praised contribution' to the society was not recognised although he stayed for 30 years in cabinet.
Samy vellu also involved in Maika scandal which 66,000 Maika shareholder’s RM120 million Telekom shares hijacked, where nine of ten million Telekom shares allocated to Maika were diverted to three private companies. So he better escape quietly before Malaysian Indian seriously start investigating and reveal all the scandals that he did. Don't forget that the latest MiED scandal that exposed by Chitrakala was another blow to him.
MiED: ANOTHER FAILED VENTURE IN THE MAKING UNDER SAMY VELLU
Hope he leaves the post and let younger members to lead MIC professionally and efficiently. He will do it if he really cares about Malaysian Indian! And the most important thing is MIC itself not relevant for future Malaysia, because Malaysians are firmly rejecting race based politics!
