Young MIC VP candidate faces disciplinary charge

(The Malaysian Insider) While the rest of the candidates in the Sept 12 MIC elections are criss-crossing the country wooing voters, vice-presidential candidate P. Subramaniam was forced to sit before the party’s Disciplinary Committee this morning to answer a charge of why he should not be expelled for allegedly tarnishing the image of the MIC.

His crime — in a media interview last month he had said the party needs “wise men and not Yes-men.”

For that, the MIC disciplinary committee headed by Tan Sri G. Vadiveloo, a loyalist of party president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu, has asked him to show cause.

“I am unhappy with this action. I am busy campaigning and this move is distracting me from my campaign,” Subramaniam told The Malaysian Insider. “I am innocent but I cannot avoid the inquiry, I have to show cause or otherwise I can be expelled.”

Subramaniam was questioned for about an hour and will know his fate tomorrow when the MIC Central Working Committee meets.
