Quit now to save BN, Mugilan tells Samy
By RK Anand, Free Malaysia Today
PETALING JAYA: MIC Youth deputy chief V Mugilan has urged party president S Samy Vellu to vacate his post with immediate effect or latest by December this year.
Mugilan told FMT that he was only doing what Samy Vellu had done in the past when the latter asked the then president VT Sambanthan to step down.
“Samy Vellu has no reason to stay on for another year. Does he think he can do what he had failed to do in 30 years within the next year?
“Last year, he said he will leave this year. Next year, he will say that he is leaving when his term expires in 2012. Enough is enough, he should quit now,” he said.
Mugilan was responding to Samy Vellu’s statement yesterday that he will resign “eight to nine months” before his presidential term draws to an end.
Continuing his salvo, Mugilan said Sambanthan was president for only 16 years, and had been a successful leader.
Despites this, he said, Samy Vellu had asked him to step down on the grounds that the community needed change.
“But what about Samy Vellu? He has been there for three decades… the party and the Indian community want change. Ninety-nine percent of them want him to go,” he added.
