Although Samy Vellu said he may leave if the Indian community does not want him anymore (Source: Malaysiakini), it is now obvious that this veteran MIC leader still thinks he is still needed and the only Indian leader that can deliver the changes as requested by the Indian community. Most importanty, his boss Pak Lah also thinks that only Samy Vellu can do the job, thus his nomination to defend the Parlimentary seat of Sungai Siput where the majority of voters are Malaysian Indians.

The question now remains, how badly the Malaysian Indians want to get rid of Samy Vellu from representing them. The only revenue left for the Malaysian Indians to walk their talk now is the 12th general election that is going to happen on 8th March 2008. So far, they have proved that they mean business by taking their demands to the streets, boycotting the Thaipusam celebration at Batu Caves, and lately have been very brave to even heckle Samy Vellu while he was in his car after attending some functions… all of which still had not convinced Pak Lah to drop Samy Vellu from the BN’s candidate list.

Will Makkal Shakti on 8th March 2008 be able to bury Samy Vellu from Malaysian politic once and for all? Only the voters of Sungai Siput constituent can decide come the 12th general election.

If the Malaysian Indian community is really serious about sending a clearer message to Pak Lah and Samy Vellu that the present MIC leaders have failed in their duties to serve the Indian communities, the battlefield should not just be in Sungai Siput only but had to be extended to other election war zones as well where majority of ’soldiers’ are of Indian ethnic.

Do you think Makkal Shakti will decide on Samy Vellu’s fate? Let us know in the comment area and please vote wisely in the 12th general election.
