Samy Vellu, Enough is enough, stop cheating Indians in Malaysia

Majority of the Indian community are disgusted with the leadership of MIC president S Samy Vellu because despite not doing much for the Indian community during his 29-year tenure, he still insisted that he remain the supreme leader for the Indian community.

Samy Vellu has no self-dignity. The marginalisation of the Indian community would have not occurred if Samy Vellu had placed the Indian community above himself and honesty, service and sacrifice above greed.

The dilemma facing the Indian community will continue as long as it is led by Samy Vellu, because the Indian community’s trust in him is a total failure.

Maika Holdings wiped out millions of dollars – the hard-earned savings of thousands of poor Indians. Investors were left clinging to the valueless Maika shares, their dreams and aspirations destroyed forever. But Samy Vellu planned to sell the Maika shares, worth RM127 million, to a bumiputera company overnight. Luckily, a court order was filed to stop the sale of the shares.

Samy Vellu's asserts that the three percent equity for the Indians had been on the national agenda for a long time. But nothing had been implemented for the community, and the failure to reach that equity level lies wholly with him because he failed to demand it from the government.
On the Tamil school issue, Samy Vellu failed to provide Tamil schools with the same (or equal) facilities granted to other (Malay and Chinese) schools. Facilities at most Tamil schools are very poor and the conditions are very pathetic.

Despite this, he arrogantly stated that he had already spoken to the government to allocate funds for Tamil schools. On Hindu temples, Samy Vellu boldly stated that these temples were in the way of development and had to be demolished.

Samy Vellu claims that the temples demolished were re-sited, but he cannot furnish any documented proof of land or funds granted for these re-sited temples. This is so because the temples that were demolished were not to be rebuilt. He can't cheat the Indian community anymore. Enough is enough.

Samy Vellu has failed miserably in all capacities – he never has had and never will have the ability to restore the Indian community’s dignity in Malaysia.

So, on behalf of Indians, we, Malaysian Indians want to ask Samy Vellu to step down and make way for another Indian leader who can work toward the betterment of the Indian community in Malaysia - now and for future generations.
