MCA leaders must teach Samy Vellu
The turnout at the Gerakan Anti-Samy Vellu (GAS) gathering may have been much lesser than the anticipated number but the fact that people had actually gathered to boot the shameless Samy Vellu out as MIC president is good enough to show him the door.
However, knowing the kind of person he and his goons are, Samy Vellu will probably cling on to the power seat until he is dragged out by his defective hair by the Indian masses.
To make matters worse, Samy Vellu has shown the type of leader he is by sacking party secretary-general M Murugesan simply because the latter spoke up against the president's dictatorship.
By sacking all those who had questioned him, Samy Vellu has proven once again that he is not much better than ousted Ugandan dictator Idi Amin.
Speak to anyone from within the party, promising them the strictest confidentially, and they'll tell you that they want Samy Vellu out but dare not speak up because of fear that the party president and his son would victimise them.
These include the party's state chairmperspns and elected representatives.
Only cohorts like youth leader T Mohan would continue to support the disgraced leader.
Mohan has also shown the kind of person he is by warning party members not to attend the GAS gathering and threatening them with action if they did.
This is not democracy. The MIC gangsters should emulate the MCA which accepts dissent from members and acts on it accordingly.
The shameless Samy Vellu has much to learn from MCA leaders Ling Liong Sik, Lim Ah Lek, Ong Ka Ting, Chua Soi Lek and Ong Tee Keat.
MIC leaders must also stop being cowards and speak-up against Samy Vellu openly instead of castigating him in private and pretending to be his ally in public.
We do not need spineless leaders who are willing to forego their principles simply because they are frightened of being sacked by Samy Vellu.
It is also time for Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak to step in and get the much hated Samy Vellu out.
His son Vell Pari's recent outburst against Umno is merely a tactic to ensure the PM does not step in.
Najib must not fall for this ploy and must involve himself in the mess and remove Samy Vellu in his capacity, not as the Umno president, but as the prime minister for all Malaysians including those of Indian ethnicity.
The prime minister must not allow the Indian community to be taken for a ride over and over again by Samy Vellu and his gangsters.
