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.
