KOTA KINABALU: MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu should consider relinquishing the party’s helm so its internal crisis could be resolved, Barisan Nasional Backbenchers Club deputy chairman Datuk Bung Mokhtar Radin said.
He said the crisis affecting the MIC could eventually spill over and affect the entire Barisan Nasional.
“If the MIC does not change and continues to be looked down by the community it is supposed to represent, Barisan will bear the brunt of this weakness,” Bung said in a statement here yesterday.
He said there were already signs of this happening, adding that the MIC had not been able to muster support for Barisan in recent by-elections.
“What has happened is that the Indian community is disunited and forming parties,” Bung added.
He said Samy Vellu should listen to voices from the Indian grassroots to give up the party president’s post that he has held for 30 years.
