Samy Vellu Turns Reporter At MCA Assembly

MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu turned reporter when he was seen busily taking down notes as the MCA president, Datuk Seri Ong Kah Ting, delivered his welcoming address at the 54th MCA Annual General Assembly at the Wisma MCA, here Sunday.

As the MCA president raised several issues concerning the Malaysian Chinese community in his address, including asking the government to open up more opportunities for the Chinese community in the various economic sectors, Samy Vellu was vigorously jotting down notes.

The MIC president's vigorous note-taking did not go unnoticed by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, who is also the Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman.

When delivering his opening speech, the Prime Minister asked Samy Vellu how many pages he had written down, which amused the delegates. "I have never seen Samy Vellu taking down notes (on Ong's speech) so furiously. How many pages have you written?" asked Abdullah, drawing laughter from the audience.

Samy Vellu, on his part, acknowledged the Premier by waving his notepad from the floor.

Ong, in his opening remarks, also said that not all Chinese were rich as perceived by some people because there were poor Chinese in urban and rural areas who needed assistance.

Abdullah, while thanking Ong for speaking up his mind, said similar grouses would probably be raised by the other BN component parties that had yet to hold their annual assemblies. (Bernama)
