"Sole Existence Of MIC Is For The Well-Being Of Malaysians Of Indian Origin," Says Samy Vellu!

Harvest a good future through unity. That, in essence, is Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu's Ponggal message to Malaysians, especially those of Indian origin.

As unity is the key to a good future, the MIC president urged them to be united and strengthen their ties to work as a team, and with one voice.

"We must not allow ourselves to become tools of those who wish to split the community for their own agenda," Samy Vellu who is also Works Minister, said Monday.

Ponggal (Harvest Festival), which will be observed by Malaysian Hindus tomorrow, is a celebration to thank God for a good harvest and offer gratitude to nature.

"There are many more things to be done, many more challenges to overcome. So, let us unite for the good of everyone. Unity is our strength. When we speak with one voice, we will achieve our goals. When we act with one determination, nothing can stop us from fulfilling our dreams," Samy Vellu said in a statement.

In this context, he added, the MIC would continue to safeguard the rights and interests of all Indians in the country, and "we will never fall because we know the people are behind us."

He said the largest Indian-based political party in the country would not bow to any pressure from any quarters because it believed that its sole existence is for the well-being of Malaysians of Indian origin.

"We will continue to fight for the betterment of our community and nation. This is our pledge, this is our mission and this is our destiny," added Samy Vellu.

***** Desperate claims of a desperate man. But I have to admit that in a way Sam is right when he says, "we will never fall because we know the people are behind us." It is this arrogant belief that no matter what they do the people will always back them which has led these politicians to act like emperors who are answerable to no one.
