Gerakan Anti Samy Vellu gathering will be held in the new selected venue in Seri Kembangan. Today will be the day for Malaysian Indians to send a strong message to MIC top leadership that Samy Vellu is no more needed to head MIC.
Malaysian Indians (Tamils) has been in Samy's regime for the past 30 years and still in lime light about the faith. The community has been marginalize by Samy and the biggest issues which contribute to the slow down fall of Samy and MIC is the lost of Maika shares.
Besides the Hulu Selangor issues, which rejected Palanival and sideline Mugilan has left sparking fire to start the whole explosion in MIC.
Mugilan has hinted earlier, if this gathering failed, Samy will be the life President of MIC and the index support from Malaysian Indian for BN surely will go down in the next GE.
Many have failed, many have left MIC and many are still living without MIC. It was to believe more than 100,000 Malaysian Indians are not MIC member include me as well.
The question is how many Indians still have the balls to fight for their rights. If they fail to change the leader, they are incapable of deciding their own communities faith. Do I say it right?
Do we Malaysian Indians need MIC? Does this party still relevant to M.Indians? What does this party going to for M.Indians in future?
Venue: Mines International exhibition and convention Centre Seri Kembangan (Sg Besi)
Time: 2.00pm
Good luck.

When Mugilan formed Gerakan Anti Samy Vellu (GAS) which will be conducting its first meeting this coming May 30th, I was called to my memory flash back on how the talented MG Pandithan was sacked and carried a coffin protest back in 1988 and the later formed Indian Progressive Front (IPF).
It was back in my school days when I attended my first free stage show organized by MG Pandithan to celebrate Samy's 50th birthday a year earlier in 1986. This grant function was held in PWTC. I still remember how the both were hugging and calling each other brothers and prayed to be born biological brothers in their next life.
I saw a tear dropping theater drama with a question, actually who is the black sheep? Years fly by and MG Pandithan past away with a senatorial and a Tan Sri. Nothing he was able to do for his more than 300,000 members who die hard for him to fight against Samy Vellu.
I had few friends back than and one of them was a elder brother to current Deputy Minister Of Federal Territory. We were quite active in getting the back ground work in moving Hulu Selangor forward to be a strong constitution to oppose Samy Vellu.
Back than , when Semangat 46 was formed by Ku Li, immediately IPF announce their support to Ku Li and variant function and programs was conducted to recruit new members. I guess it was a big success to us to see so many individuals was opposing Samy Vellu and MIC.
Our only motive was to save those people who left MIC for a new hope. We were fighting for a new light of hope and a platform of stage to hear our pledge. Many followed and many turn their back on us.
So much money was donated from our own pocket in order to shed a new organization and a leader who will bring our voice of pledge and hope. Every positive action of ours were denied entry. IPF were denied to be a BN component. The submission was rejected each and every time. The only reason is because MIC doesn't approved. Not MIC but Samy Vellu in person and he was so bold as he had Mr.M by his side. It took many years of failure till today.
Than came another force full of energetic HINDRAF organization. I am pretty sure those who supported this movement were those from IPF too. Only those in IPF were those hard cores who fought still they got the taste of FRU's baton and tear gas.
Every one knows what happens to Hindraf to date. The tough guys were busted in ISA and this incident does effected the 2008 GE result.
It reminds me again, after the latest ex MIC youth champion Yogeswaran's sacked, Mugilan's voice sounds roaring to his own master. I wonder where is Yogeswaran? Will he voice out support for his team member use to be?
Will Mugilan tough enough to face the thunders? We will wait and see.
Let me tell ya, Hulu Selangor hold a big numbers of Tamil Indians. They were not taken care by MIC Mr. G for the past 4 terms. They have shown their voice in the last by Hulu Selangor by-election with the grant of promises. They will turn around if they were denied.
In the current Mugilan's issue, Samy's action has created a turn back in Hulu Selangor and the effect will be tremendous in the next GE.
A week left for the first meeting of the GAS movement. I don't know the venue but i guess soon it will be announce. Be in touch.

P/s: Inter Milan won the European Championship last night against Bayern Munich with the score of 2-0. Great match to be watched.
KUALA LUMPUR, May 18 — MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu said today he would step down “eight or nine months” before his term expires on May 21, 2012.
He told The Malaysian Insider today that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak had already been informed about his decision.
“I have told the PM and now I am telling you,” he told The Malaysian Insider.
“I don’t want to stay a day longer,” he said.
Samy Vellu has been president of the MIC since 1979, holding for the post for 11 consecutive terms.
He has held off all challenges to his position and was the longest-serving member of the Barisan Nasional (BN) Cabinet until he was dumped from Parliament in Election 2008.
The MIC president has been accused of abuse of power and being a dictator by his party rivals.
He has also been blamed for his party’s poor electoral performance by the Indian community as well as Umno, which sees him as major liability.
Since assuming the BN chairmanship and becoming PM last year, Najib has taken extraordinary steps to bypass the MIC in reaching out to Indian voters.
Samy Vellu’s retirement plan is not likely to appease his detractors who want him to quit immediately.
They want his immediate removal so that the MIC can make the transformation to become a more energized political party able to win the support of the Indian community for BN.
Samy Vellu said today that he wanted to first reorganise the party and ensure branches are more active before he leaves.
However, MIC sources say he may use the remaining period to reshape the party and ensure he controls the party from behind the scenes.
Despite Samy Vellu’s announcement, his No. 2 Datuk G. Palanivel cannot be certain that he will take over as party president, party sources said.
Palanivel was unceremoniously dropped as a BN candidate in the recent Hulu Selangor by-election because of objections from Umno.
MIC vice-president Datuk Dr S. Subramaniam is also fast shaping up as a presidential contender.
It is understood that Umno favours the hard-working human resource minister to become the next MIC president.
** The above piece of news is from Malaysian Insider.**
I am not going to say anything. I simply don't trust this guy. He will somehow find his excuse to stay until the GE and hope to hold up minister post. Trust me.

The most shocking case is perhaps N Subramaniam, a father of four. This 42-year-old plantation worker was only left with RM33, following the deductions to his April salary. By S Rutra, Free Malaysia Today
SPECIAL REPORT KUALA KUBU BARU: Palm oil and rubber prices have rocketed, and industry captains are laughing all the way to the bank. Shareholders, some of whom have never been to a plantation, are ecstatic about their expanding bank accounts.
But FMT learnt that the plantation workers do not share the same kind of excitement, and so a team was dispatched to two estates in Hulu Selangor to find out why.
Welcome to the Nigel Gardner and Sungai Jernih plantations, whose inhabitants were recently treated to round-the-clock sumptuous feasts and top-notch entertainment.
No, it was not a reward from their paymasters for their hard work, but rather baits thrown by political masters to fish for their votes in the recently concluded by-election.
When FMT visisted the estates last week, the fanfare had ended. No more colorful lights, Tamil songs blaring from mammoth speakers or politicians with hampers making a beeline.
But why are these folks not excited about the soaring rubber and palm oil prices? Because some of them still cannot afford a meal in a fast-food restaurant.

The above news I stole it from Malaysia Today without their permission. Hope RPK will understand my plead for the minority of Malaysian specially when I am a local from KKB.
The people of SIBU mainly Chinese community in majority which hold more than 60% of the voting power made their choice by choosing DAP as their represender in the parliment.
SIBU which use to be a BN strong hold made a tremendous turn over sending clear message to BN that Pakatan is spreading their wings to East Malaysia.
Different from the Hulu Selangor by-election which most popularly known as buy-election, SIBU which hold Chinese majority sent a reminder to BN that money can't buy everything.
People never changed but they were made to change. The hope and the waiting for more than 50 years without much changes has given a clear picture to the rakyat that BN is no more relevan.
This message indirectly goes to Taib who have been the KING of Sarawak for more than 4 decades. His time has over and coming to the end. He has to step down now or may face the lost of total Sarawak in the next general election.
The Chinese have proven they are not beggars who can be bought with goodies and some pocket money. Unlike the Hulu Selangor by election where by the rakyat were blind with money and groceries.
SIBU by-election result:
DAP - 18,845 BN - 18,447 Ind - 232
Majority - 398

It has been a whole since I pen down my thoughts. Not because I am busy, but because there are too many stories and issues need to be high lighted. I was simply got shocked over the un-counted hot issues lingering around us daily.
Those hot issues are from;
May 13 gathering in Terengganu.
Sibu by election
Police shooting Malays teenagers
DSAI’s sodomy II
KelantanPalace issues
Kapar MP’s revelation
Never wash anus for two days
Soi Lek to stay away from being a cabinet member
Kampua mee turn out to be a by-election issue in Sibu
Religion possession in Sabahan’s mykad.
Sime Darby lost of 964 million and
Wangsa Maju MP quits PKR.
Almost a dozen and more issues are lingering around Malaysian politics but definitely oppositions were the scape goat for it.
Today is the polling day for SIBU. More than 60% Chinese voters shall be deciding new MP for their constitution. More RM was invested. More promises were made. Many questions were answered and many more questions aroused.
Sibu shall decide and their decision shall reflect the voice of the Chinese in majority. The voice of the Chinese shall be heard. Justice for Teoh will be heard. The injustice of PDRM claimed will be answered. DSAI’s sodomy case will be justified.
SIBU shall be the voice of Chinese of Malaysia. The voice that was remain in silent will be heard. The third largest party in BN MIC should learn from this by election of SIBU. How the rakyat remain demanding and hoping for the fair country for all.
Pakatan should take this as a benchmark for their boarder invasion. SIBU can be their first measurement for East Malaysia entry.

Chelsea won their FA cup. Malaysia lost their Thomas semi to China. I felt good about their lost. They fought really hard. Their spirits were very high. It was ok to me for the lost as long as they die hard for it.

Habib RAK: Be a 'Greater Malaysian' - I like that. It resonates well and it moves me. This speech by Anwar Ibrahim is more positive and raises his ability to motivate Malaysians to strive harder for a greater Malaysia. It appeals to the generosity within us to give and share. I do think that this theme should be furthered.
WandererAUS: A handful of 'professional samsengs' from Umno who shouted "buntut, khianat" was that the only response Umno can offer? Surely, it takes more that this cheap shot to knock down the champion for a greater Malaysian.
There was never any doubt in Anwar's message, spoken as a true Malaysian... a vision for a better country and for its people - a Malaysia for all Malaysians immaterial of race and religion, a country with room for all who wish to prosper together.
Umno feared this man who have paid a high price for his sins for being an ex-Umno member.alis
Kgen: Anwar gives the same message to all races unlike BN which spews out different messages to different races. How many Umno politicians will go to a Malay crowd and tell them to fight for the rights of all Malaysians regardless of their race or religion?
They will be talking about Malay rights and tell them to beware of non-Malays threatening Malay rights while to a Chinese crowd, Umno will be mouthing equality and fair treatment.
Cala: Bravo. 'You are a greater Malaysian'. This newly-coined slogan of Anwar together with his 'Save Malaysia' slogan sit well in Lim Guan Eng's Middle Malaysia motto, and blend seamlessly with Zaid Ibrahim's Pakatan Rakyat framework proposed earlier.
I can see a lot of efforts have gone into all the three components of election tools and no doubt they will be well-received. Clearly Pakatan is practicing an inclusive policy for every ethnic group. Who else but Anwar is the hope of a better Malaysia?
Sarawakian: His message is simple but very effective and is appropriate for all races. The opposition should stick to this especially when addressing rural and semi-rural crowd.
Keep at it so that it will become a common theme. Let the BN use whatever dirty tricks they are capable of because at the end of the day, people will not be swayed by them.
Everyone wants a better future for themselves and their children. The BN is now painting themselves as a rouge government akin to the Burmese junta by their action and words.
Satinah Osman: To the initiated, there is no difference between Malaysia and Burma. Only the strategies are different. The end is the same. But some of Burma's brutalities are coming to the forefront in the country and this does not foretell a bright future for our children and future generations.
Aramsa: Between devil and the deep blue sea, I would choose an unknown angel rather than a known devil. The devil in Umno/BN is beyond redemption. The unknown angel in Pakatan is the next alternative choice.
There is no option but to save this country from the plunderers and from our messed-up institutions. Selamatkan Malaysia.
SaveMalaysia: Great speech, Anwar. This is what rational and progressive Malaysians want to hear. Pakatan is the way to go to save Malaysia economically and from the narrow mindedness of the false protectors of race, religion and rulers... and two decades of misrule.
Geronimo: The Malays must now make it their credo by ridding themselves of the corruptive practices of Umno who have been ripping them off for the last many decades.
It's time for all good men to come to the aid of his country, and at the end of the day, bear in mind what Sir Winston Churchill said, "Never in the field of human conflict, was so much owed by so many to so few."
