Samy: PKR ’samseng’ behind demos
With due respect to our Indian Leader Datuk S.Samy Vellu, ex Works Minister of Malaysian Parliament, at the age of 72, is hallucinating, incoherent, babbles, and based on his age tottering not physically, but …….your guess is good as mine. Permit me to refer to 2 posts, here and here, I wrote today. With all the Police and FRU, where were the thugs. Is he telling all Malaysians the Police and FRU are idiots who cannot comprehend thugs. Sorry boys, I mean the Police and FRU, for referring you as idiots not you are one but that is something alluded to by a senior ex Minister. To gain political advantage he may even go further.
Samy says, PKR thugs, why not DAP and Pas. Sin Chew newspaper says the crowd was around 3000, but Samy as usual in a confused could not have counted or assessed the number of people, he was in a state of shock, and says there were 600 t0 700, an illusion, as I told you earlier he is hallucinating or what.
They, the 3000, 600 or 700 carrying rocks and knives, rocks for what, to build him an altar as he is a Sami, and knives to kill the sacrificial goat - ha, ha, ha, all these time I thought Sami refers to some Hindu Gods but with knives and sacrifice, he is just a village deity. No offense to all Indians.
Finally he has something nice to say of Hindraf, those 3000, 600 or 700 are not from Hindraf but PKR. What graceful thoughts.
Liquor, two Tamil dailies, war, cut me, words uttered by him. I did say babbling, please help me to put it eloquently and I will do so.
Now back to basics, if there were thugs around carrying rocks and knives, the Police and FRU would have dealt with them. See the video, does it show any thugs. For MIC to use thugs, it is not new. Any meeting of Maika or Telecom shares issue, the MIC thugs are there to stifle them from asking questions. Some body jokingly said, MIC is a thug party led by a big thug, what can be done.
Samy: PKR ’samseng’ behind demos
Samy: PKR ’samseng’ behind demos
Andrew Ong | Feb 27, 08 6:47pm
MIC president S Samy Vellu lashed out at PKR today, warning the opposition party that MIC is also capable of launching a ‘war’ but its members chose to abide by the law.
He also blamed PKR and its ‘thugs’ for being responsible for the recent spate of demonstrations involving the Indian community.
“People who bunyi-bunyi di jalan raya (make noise on the streets) are all from the opposition. They are using the name of Hindraf. But they are not Hindraf.
“They are all samseng Keadilan (PKR thugs). They are causing fear amongst the public,” he said.
Speaking to reporters after a function in Sungai Siput, Samy Vellu was referring to the cancellation of his Lunas visit yesterday due to a stand-off with a large crowd, reportedly linked to Hindraf.
According to Sin Chew Daily, the crowd numbered around 3,000 and Samy Vellu was advised to avoid his Lunas dinner appointment at a Chinese temple.
However, Samy Vellu said today that there were only 600 to 700 people but they were armed with rocks and knives.
“If you want to use the knife use it in the market. If you think you can slash me in the market, pergi potong lah (then go ahead and cut)!” he said.
“They think it is easy to finish a person. That won’t happen,” he added.
Samy Vellu has been dogged by hecklers and small demonstrations during several of his functions nationwide ever since the Hindraf mass-rally last November.
This not the first time that Samy Vellu faced humiliation in Lunas. In a bitterly fought 2000 by-election between MIC and PKR, he vowed not to return to Kuala Lumpur without a victory in Lunas.Subsequently, MIC was dealt a major blow when the party stronghold fell into opposition’s hands after a major swing of votes against the government.
The ‘liquor’ technique
Continuing his verbal tirade against the opposition, Samy Vellu accused the parties of using underhanded tactics to instigate Indians to take to the streets.
“Opposition parties give liquor to people to cause trouble. This is the new technique of the new century.”
Describing the action of the demonstrators as “war”, the MIC president warned that his party was capable of retaliation.
“We can do that too. If they really want to have war, we can show them war (to show our strength). We have thousands of MIC Youth (members). But they follow the law,” he said.
Samy Vellu also slammed two Tamil papers for publishing reports on demonstrations involving Indians and blamed his political rivals, who own the papers, for doing so.
He said these politicians were pretending to be friendly to the Barisan Nasional but secretly urging the opposition and the Indian community to organise more demonstrations.
“It is a tactic to get the Indians to do more and more demonstrations. They are not demonstrating against MIC. They are demonstrating against Barisan Nasional,” he said.
Tamil dailies Makkal Osai and Malaysia Nanban are aligned to Samy Vellu’s rivals, former MIC deputy president S Subramaniam and Malaysian Indian United Party (MUIP) president S Nallakaruppan respectively.
Samy Vellu, 71, who is seeking his ninth-term as Sungai Siput MP, is contesting against PKR’s D Jeyakumar for the third time.
Samy Vellu, MIC, Kapar, Lunas
Malaysiakini reports of problems in Kapar. Malayan Indian Channel reports problems in Lunas with pictures. You can also see a video.
Things are not rosy for MIC and Samy Vellu. If the two cases referred to opposition parties, Samy will be ready with a song possibly in Tamil, “Sothanai Mel Sothanai, Pothumada Sami” translated, trials after trials, enough of it Samy (God).
But Samy is not deterred. See my comments on his interview with Star newspaper. It helps readers to remember Hindraf opened the eyes of Indians, although Samy and gang were pulling the fleece over our eyes.
MIC may be shaken and stirred in Kapar
Syed Jaymal Zahiid | Feb 27, 08 3:49pm
For all that the MIC considers Kapar to be its fortress, the parliamentary seat will be one to watch this time around.
Incumbent P Komala Devi won the seat comfortably with a 14,588 majority in the 2004 elections, but an upset may be on the cards - all because of the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf).
Her opponent this time will be PKR’s S Manickavasigam (photo), known to close associates as Mike, who hopes to cash in on the Hindraf factor and latent discontent in the Indian community.
Kapar has 112,224 registered voters - the largest constituency in the country - with Malays forming the majority at 51.4 percent and Chinese at 35.4 percent.
Indians make up 13 percent, working mainly in oil palm plantations and the factory sector. With an average household income of about RM900, they feel the sting of recent increases in the price of fuel and consumer goods.
But resentment rooted in racial discrimination has become the single-biggest catalyst in recent months, manifested in strong support for Hindraf and its leaders. Manickavasagam counts himself among supporters.
“I have the support of almost 98 percent of the Indian community here. This time, Komala will lose because the voters know that MIC and its members have done nothing but cheat the people,” he claimed when met at a pasar malam in Taman Intan.
.
“Komala was chased out when she came here (Taman Intan) what more evidence that you need to show that MIC has lost its relevance here?”
During his walkabout, his supporters - all Indians - waved PAS flags and shouted out ‘vote for PKR and PAS’.
Dislodging Komala will be no walk in the park, although a local resident offers the view that Malays are “50-50″ in their support and that Chinese voters are known to be pro-opposition.
‘Disregard rumour’
Komala discounted speculation that she will be booted out, expressing confidence that she will be able to retain the seat.
“We have the strongest support, not only from the Indian community, but from the Chinese and Malays as well,” she said after meeting with some 50 supporters near Taman Intan.
Asked to comment on the apparently strong anti-BN sentiments among the Indians there, she denied that such feelings exist.
“There are no anti-BN sentiments but confusion. MIC has always been the favourite party in Kapar and will remain so,” she claimed.
MIC has addressed the main issues - crime, employment and vernacular education - about which all voters are concerned, she added
Some obviously think otherwise. One resident said he is upset with Komala, claiming she has not visited Kapar even once following the 2004 elections to listen to the grouses of the residents.
“We have called her and sent text-messages and she has not replied even once,” he alleged.
Another resident echoed the comment, and added that it is high time the MIC is taught a lesson.
“Kena ajar diorang ni sikit bang, tak buat kerja. Harga barang naik, minyak naik, (We have to teach them a lesson, they don’t do their work; the price of goods and fuel has gone up),” he said, asking not to be named for ‘fear of getting into trouble’.
Chicago Bull was not welcomed in Lunas yesterday ( 26/02/2008 ). More than 10000 people gathered with bannners and slippers to block Samy Vellu from entering to Lunas. He was suppose to meet the people there and also attend a dinner organized by MCA Lunas and Pemuda MIC . Roads to enter the Chinnese hall was blocked wif the poeple there.. and refused to let Samy Vellu in. He then had no choice.More than 100 policemen were placed there to control the situation. Yet they could not control the crowd, more than 10 units of FRU was brought to control the situation there.. No tear gas and water canons were used. But they are all in postion. Padang Serai Parliment candidate Gopalakrishnan was on the spot to ensure the safety of the people there and to calm down the situation there. His son was arrested by the police. The police again has shown their brutality agaimst the minority Indians. This are part of the pictures which i manage to get.. I was asked to delete all the pictures which took there by a higly ranked senior officer.
note: videos will be uploaded soon..
*** kind information,, the guy above is no one else than… Gopalakrishnan The Legend….
Samy And MIC
I would like to comment as under:1. Where ever on earth did Samy Vellu get the information the Indian community, or only a section of it, are angry. If this is so, I don’t see the necessity for MIC to advertise in papers, change candidates, and under take the hive of activities, as Samy has undertaken. The minority can never influence the majority. If the majority of the Indians are with MIC, there is no problem at all, like always, Indians will vote BN and why worry. The truth of the matter is, MIC has been naive and disillusioned, Indians won’t let them down or to put it mildly, the Indians have no where to go, it is MIC and MIC alone. Not getting Government jobs is an old issue, backdated years back, or to be conservative for the last 20 years or so. If MIC had made noise earlier, changes could have been noticed. But MIC did not want to annoy their bosses UMNO and kept quiet. Indians had accepted getting a government job is rare as getting a lottery, and look around now, the bulk of the Indians are in the private sector or self employed. Indians earlier thought jobs in government is a must, but now it is a second option, first the private sector or self employment, then if you are lucky a government appointment. Indian history in this country led us to believe, once your education is completed, you dash off an application to a government agency. Knowing the difficulty in procuring jobs in government agencies, Indians starting applying in companies etc. Indians lived with it. There were many other obstacles placed by the government, education, scholarships, business opportunities, religion etc but they still bore the stuff patiently. The boiling point was reached when religious fanaticism touched the Indians, temples were destroyed and if MIC had been pro-active, if there was noise made, would Indians think MIC is redundant. The Indians are smart enough to know that everything they ask for will not be given by the government, what they wanted was a voice or a timid whisper, did MIC do that. MIC carried on playing their own game of politics, Indians became annoyed, MIC is not helping them, and eventually Hindraf came about to make MIC and its leaders to wake up with a nightmare. I still dare say that, if not for Hindraf, MIC will still be in slumber land looking after their own interests and not bothered about the welfare of the Indians. With Hindraf people realised there was an alternate means than MIC to tell the government what they were missing.
2. Hindraf, fortunately or unfortunately, did not start of as a cohesive political group to be an alternate to MIC. On the contrary, they left MIC alone, but carried out activities like defending people who were maligned by the government, keeping track of injustices suffered by the Indians and so forth. It was never an organised big association but led by individuals. Some sections of the community or those who were directly involved in the wrongs done by the government were the main participants. Hindraf was not playing any politics but catering to the needs of individuals, and sometimes in small groups of temple representatives. It was never pan Malaysian. In fact most of the Indians only knew of it after November 25 and became aware what it stood for. What started as a spark became a flame and Indians once knowing what it stood for and its aims started questioning why MIC had not done this. Most of the Indians only know how badly the MIC representatives were treated in Parliament without any recourse and there the head of MIC was pleasantly rubbing shoulders with his buddies in UMNO assuring himself semua-nya okay. There were annoyances here and there but Hindraf brought in figures and instances to prove something was wrong. So, Samy please don’t say innocent, poor Indians are being made use of. None of the leaders were aiming for high posts in the government hierarchy or into money making ventures. Unfortunately, the Indians have suffered more thinking MIC is there for them. But you personally, with your style of administration, you made MIC a one man show, which prerogative still exists today. In reality the Indians could not suffer more than what they have been suffering, and MIC becomes irrelevant.
3. What representation are you talking about. Even your own kind, MIC representatives, suffered in the hands of UMNO, religious bigotry was taking place, Indians were ill treated by the Police, and all the time did you raise a finger of protest, why, afraid you will rock the boat. If you had, like what you are doing now, like the 7 issues and all, will any Indian blame MIC, knowing any request by the party will not be reciprocated in full.
4. You had a wonderful opportunity to redeem the importance of MIC, it was just after November 25 or even later, but you chose to fight Hindraf rather than compromising with the people. You quoted wrong statistics, you went all the way to India to tell everybody the Malaysian Indians were living in luxury. Lie after lie, and the hate for you and MIC increased. In Parliament, words like keling, pendatang, go back and racist were used. What did you do. Afraid of your position in the government to protest. I don’t know.
5. So, do you know why a large number of Indians don’t like you, and MIC becomes a scapegoat.

Ong Ka Ting The Chinese Savior

It would have been a historical, monumental, and true statement, if he had started to say “By sheer hard work and determination the Chinese have improved their position blah, blah blah”This is a fact.
At the end he bemoans Chinese have been left out in education, public service and government procurement and so the ending should have been…..in spite of all the impediments set up by the government we Chinese have succeeded.
Honestly the Chinese have succeeded by hard work and not by help by the government. Q.E.D.

Ex Works Minister Samy Vellu

A reader of my blog, Kesava, referred me to this archived news about the explanation given by Samy Vellu on a new bride. Husbands, wives, new brides, MIC, anybody in need of a marriage counselor? Wait awhile.Dear husbands please heed the advise by Samy, don’t use your wife like another chattel or equipment, or else she won’t be beautiful anymore. He is busy with the elections as otherwise good info can be obtained from him to keep a wife beautiful,.
The Reluctant Independent Candidate
|
Independent candidates are also known as convenience candidates in Malaysia. They stand in elections not for any cause except maybe to earn a salary, but this does not happen as eventually they are unsuccessful.Some say, Independent candidates are put up by political parties, and later told to withdraw after the full list of candidates are known. Money is often involved it is alleged.
But I wonder what made Shahul Hameed MK Mohamed Ishack to contest in the first place, and what made his wife and two brother-in-laws to withdraw support having signed as witnesses in the nomination form, only Shahul Hameed knows.
But one thing is sure, if you do see him in Penang, don’t mock him wearing a bullet proof vest or some other type of protective wear, because of the preventive measures taken by him. When you are back-stabbed by your own wife and her brothers, what else can he do.
Feb 26: Polls round up
Our toupee hero Samy Vellu is immune to shoes, screwdrivers, atomic bombs and any other missile.Please read this:
http://aarvidi.wordpress.com/2008/02/26/samy-not-shoe-they-threw-atomic-bomb/
Another one is:
Here again he is a Malaysian Indian and wants to meet Indians. But what I do not understand why he did not want to meet the women who were screaming at him in Bagan Dalam.
Let me guess. Samy is worried these women want to know more about husband wife relationship that exists between MIC and the Indians. He was worried he had stirred up the hornet’s nest, and questions by the women would be embarrassing especially if they wanted examples. He will be dumbfounded if the women ask him, what if the rolls change and MIC becomes the wife and the Indians the husband, can MIC ask the Indians to vote this party.
The fear, the worry, the cold sweat that he may have to endure if the women ask him more details, which a male mind may not even think about, perhaps his conjugal life style. Surprises and surprises, thats why he told the Police, make sure no women please.
