MIC or MTC?


An IANS report stated that Datuk Samy Vellu is planning to bring in more non-Tamil Indians into the party.

The Indian community is a heterogeneous community. And going by the history of the MIC itself , the party actually had non - Tamil Indians during the initial stages of the party.

This call by the current MIC president makes me wonder whether there is a Indian party to represent the 1.8 millian Indians in Malaysia. Apparently this move comes a minute too late since the electorate has moved beyond race based politics.

Lastly, the Indians here have been duped into believing that there is Malaysian Indian Congress when in fact there has been Malaysian Tamil Congress.
