With the MIC election for the deputy president post being less than 2 months away, incumbent G Palanivel has countered S Subramaniam with left-right jabs on the face.
Subra started the ball rolling by terming Palanivel as a deputy in the shadows to which Palanivel countered with the left-right jabs.
He questioned Subra's two decade tenure as deputy president as can be seen here.

Backing president's men a hindrance to flourishing democracy
The Malaysian Indian Congress has a democratic system where delegates can choose whomever they want to be their leader.
There are no minimum nominations needed as seen in Umno or position sharing amongst those who have won the largest number of votes
Unfortunately there seems to be the culture of backing all the president's men. As a result of which was the defeat of M Muthupalaniappan in his quest to wrest the party top post from incumbent, S Samy Vellu.
Now that all attention is turned on guessing who would his anointed deputy would be.
Despite announcing that he would not be throwing his support candidate, Samy Vellu has lashed out at former deputy president, S Subramaniam and vice president S Sothinathan - both contenders for deputy presidency - in recent times.
Is Samy backing his current deputy Palanivel? Current developments affirms that pattern. Hence the choice is now upto the delegates to continue their culture of backing the president's men or practise democracy and initiate the winds of change in the MIC.

What's wrong, Mr PM
One minute, Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak says that BN is fine if Hadi Awang's proposal for unity government does not materialise as seen here.
Now he turned the plot and says it is religious duty to have unity government.
Odd, isn't it?
What's wrong, Mr PM? Disappointed that BN can't take over other Pakatan Rakyat administered states?

No to unity government
I am glad that the Pakatan Rakyat has jointly turned down the Umno-PAS idea for a unity government as seen here.
I mean why is there calls for Malay unity whenever Umno seem or perceives to itself to be weak in the arena of Malaysian politics.
Had the unity government become a reality Pas may have been the biggest losers in the next general election since non -Malay support did jolt them into making political inroads.
