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.
