Malaysiakini exclusive Two unrelated political developments on the ground are primed to pile the pressure on long-time MIC chief S Samy Vellu to relinquish his iron grip on the party which claims to represent the Indian community...First, the Manikavasagam situation. While it has been reported that Manikavasagam will be quitting PKR by next week following growing frustrations with the party leadership, he however told Malaysiakini that he would be stepping down from his two party posts on Dec 31, but would however remain as party member...However, sources from within and outside MIC told Malaysiakini that plans are afoot to bring Manikavasagam into the Indian-based party...While this plan involving Manikavasagam is taking shape, another MIC grassroots leader is taking it on his own to oust Samy Vellu. Businessman KP Samy, a long-time ally of former deputy president S Subramaniam, is expected to form a movement that would incorporate all sacked or suspended MIC leaders. Interesting plans indeed. I think Mani (or popularly known as 'Mike'?) should just stick to his decision of becoming an independent MP as reported in The Star. There is no point to oust Samy Vellu. KP Samy knows better! Let him resign humbly like Tun Dr M lah. Don't make him look 'badder' than he already is. ;)
