MIC is considering pulling out its ministers from the new cabinet over a number of unresolved issues, chief among them is the "treatment accorded by the new administration to the Indian community", said a party insider today.
Although this might appear to be an unlikely scenario, he said MIC was willing to become a standalone party within Barisan Nasional and concentrate its effort to unite the Indian community.
"The decision is expected to be made soon, perhaps at the next MIC central working committee meeting later this month," he said.
The party will nevertheless continue to remain in the ruling BN coalition.
According to the party insider who is close to the MIC leadership, topping the list of grouses is that the Indians were still being 'treated as second or even third-class' citizens in the country.
That's the problem with race-based politics lah. Can you not trust One-Malaysia PM to take care of every Malaysian regardless of race, Mr. Samy? ;-)
