Known also as Kongres India Se-Malaysia, MIC is one of the founding members of Barisan Nasional (BN) and a political party. Established in 1946, it was first envisioned to fight for the India against the British colonial after the second World War for independence. After that, MIC was involved in the fighting for the independence of Malaysia. MIC is poised as the Indian community voice in the country's post-war development where they joined the earlier National Alliance, which eventually became the Barisan Nasional in 1973.

Headed by its president Dato' Seri S Samy Vellu, it was founded by John A Thivy, to contribute to the inter-racial harmony and cooperation among all component parties of the BN.

The most significant leader of MIC, Tun V T Sambanthan was one of the leaders who tirelessly helped to contribute to the country's independence, of which he was a signatory of the Merdeka Agreement but it was only the next president, Tan Sri V Manickavasagam was when MIC became a part of the BN. It then championed various programmes like The Nesa Multipurpose Cooperative, the MIC Unit trust and the MIC Education Fund which was fundamental to the development of the group.

Its longest serving president is also the current one, Dato' S Samy Vellu, who have held the post since 1979 has often been criticized and accused of various allegations of corruption and most recently been accused for being the reason of MIC's huge losses of the general elections.

It has been reported that for the past 20 years, MIC has been able to obtain loans and scholarships totaling RM60million and benefited 10,000 Indian students under the Maju Institute of Education Development (MIED) fund.

MIC also reported that among their efforts include prompting the government to step up their efforts to achieve the 3% equity for Indians by 2020 under the Ninth Malaysia Plan.

MIC owns an education project known as the Asian Institute of Medicine, Science and Technology University (AIMST), a move not welcomed by many as it is difficult to align education with politics.

One of the major downfalls of MIC is in the previous general elections where the party president S Samy Vellu lost his seat at Sg Siput his stronghold for the past 20 years. Along with him, the other main losers include 2 other VPs of MIC, the head of youth as well as the head of the women's wing.

What life has taught me
I would like to share with
Those who want to learn...

Until the philosophy which hold one race
Superior and another inferior
Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned
Everywhere is war, me say war

That until there are no longer first class
And second class citizens of any nation
Until the colour of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than
the colour of his eyes
Me say war

That until the basic human rights are equally
Guaranteed to all, without regard to race
Dis a war

That until that day
The dream of lasting peace, world citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion
To be persued, but never attained
Now everywhere is war, war

War in the east, war in the west
War up north, war down south
War, war, rumours of war

Of good over evil, good over evil, good over evil
Good over evil, good over evil, good over evil

My advice to Dato Samy Velu, please for once open up your mind and look into the reality of the INDIANS in Malaysia.
You cant do much anymore for indians if you are still in BN.
BELIEVE ME!!!!! Please joint the PKR, then you can even do more for our people.

Eksklusif: Bongkar, Dosa Najib Razak Semasa Menjawat Jawatan Menteri Besar Pahang !!


Dikatakan semasa jadi Menteri Besar Pahang beliau bersahabat baik dengan seorang ahli perniagaan muda dari Pekan sehingga boleh duduk sekereta resmi dan selalu berulang alik ke Singapura memburu perempuan. Ahli perniaan ini sentiasa mendapat kawasan balak dan sentiasa mendapat maklumat di atas segala keputusan EXCO bersabit dengan perkara-perkara untuk mencari rezeki dari Kerajaan Negeri. Sekarang ini beliau telah kaya raya. Apa betulkah atau hanya satu fitnah?

Dalam tahun-tahun 84-85 Datuk Najib juga dikatakan pernah dijumpai di Singapura di tempat-tempat yang sulit bersama-sama seorang datuk bekas orang kuat Promet dengan artis-artis perempuan. Katanya membincangkan hal-hal pembangunan Wilayah Janda Baik, Bentong. Dari laporan yang dipercayai satu raket korupsi di belakang pembangunan Wilayah Janda Baik, Bentong telah berlaku. Cuba siasat siapakah orang-orang yang banyak memiliki tanah-tanah di Janda Baik. Kononnya beliau juga dikatakan dalam tahun-tahun 84-85 telah mengadakan banyak perhubungan sulit (seks) dengan seorang kerabat diraja salah sebuah negeri di Semenanjung. Datuk Najib dikatakan pernah pergi ke rumah Tengku itu pada waktu malam dihantar oleh salah seorang bekas Setiausaha Sulitnya yang dibawa dari Kuala Lumpur. Perkara ini bukan rahsia lagi bagi penduduk Kuantan, tidak dihebohkan kerana melibatkan keluarga raja.

Kononnya cerita ini diceritakan sendiri oleh orang istana yang paling hampir dengan Tengku itu. Jika ini betul ia tidak patut berlaku atau dilakukan oleh seorang pemimpin yang menjadi ketua pemerintah negeri dan melibatkan pula kerabat di Raja. Inilah dikatakan orang harapkan pagar, pagar makan padi. Apa dihairankan, kebuasan nafsu Najib memang amat diketahui sejak belum menjadi Menteri Besar lagi. Hubungan sulit dengan perempuan-perempuan dari segala bangsa dan artis-artis tempatan adalah cakapan harian orang di Kuala Lumpur.

Dikatakan orang juga, amalan “corruption” (rasuah) sangat hebat berlaku semasa Encik Hamid menjadi P.A. Datuk Najib. Semasa Encik Hamid berhenti, satu sijil ‘fixed deposit’ sebanyak $500,000.00 telah dijumpai oleh isteri Encik Hamid yang sekarang sudah dicerai. Fixed deposit itu dijumpai dalam beg “james bond” Encik Hamid. Ini kalau kita fikir adakah wang Encik Hamid atau wang Datuk Najib. Encik Hamid pernah berkata, Datuk Najib tak pernah menukar ceknya untuk berbelanja di rumah atau lain-lainnya, kerana cash (wang tunai) banyak terlonggok di rumahnya. Encik Hamid pernah berkata yang hal dan rahsia Datuk Najib semua dalam poketnya. Ini mungkin fitnah orang yang iri hati pada Encik Hamid kerana dia sangat dipercayai oleh Najib. Sabarlah…

Datuk Najib sentiasa menggunakan ketua-ketua pejabat dan agensi-agensi Kerajaan (berkanun) untuk mendapatkan wang. Alasan kononnya untuk ‘political fund’, seperti LKNP, LKPP, ASPA dan Syarikat Permodalan Pahang. Kegiatan-kegiatan agensi tersebut perlu disiasat, terutama LKPP atas hal jual dan beli ladang dan kilang-kilang. Bekas Pengurus Besar Syarikat Permodalan Pahang, yang sebelum itu hanya seorang guru biasa lulusan maktab, rumahnya macam istana, selalu berulang-alik ke Jakarta dan luar negeri bersama seorang pembantu wanitanya, kononnya isteri orang. Hubungan mereka berdua dikatakan sangat rapat. Kerja-kerja beliau dikatakan sentiasa mendapat restu dari Datuk Najib. Maklumlah mereka berdua ni dalam perahu yang sama. Apa sudah jadi dengan syarikat itu sekarang? Beratus juta duit rakyat Pahang lesap Syarikat terpaksa ditutup kerana bankrap. Bossnya senang lenang. Najib patut bertanggungjawab.

Kononnya di Kuala Lumpur sentiasa mengadakan parti-parti sulit, mabok dengan perempuan-perempuan artis yang selalu ada bersama boss Promet itu dan yang ada hubungan perniagaan rapat dengan seorang peniaga Cina bersama Andrew Leong dari Syarikat Johan Holding. Datuk Najib juga dikatakan kononnya telah bersekedudukan dengan seorang yang berasal dari Kementeian Kewangan yapng mana ada hubungan dengan kontrek pembelian computer yang berharga di antara 3-4 juta ringgit semasa beliau berkhidmat di Kementerian Kewangan sebagai Timbalan Menteri.

Encik Hamid bekas PA nya itu adalah salah seorang orang suruhan Datuk Najib untuk mengutip wang-wang korupsi di sana sini, maka itulah Datuk Najib membawa Hamid dari Kementerian Kewangan yang berasal dari seorang Kerani sahaja ke Kuantan. Encik Hamid dikatakan banyak menyimpan rahsia Datuk Najib dan tahu banyak tentang projek-projek yang Najib ada berkepentingan.


Artikel ini dipetik dari blog sahabat matsamankati. Sebenarnya semasa Najib jadi MB Pahang itulah juga dipercayai Rosmah Mansor mula masuk jarum untuk memancing anak Tun Razak itu. Ikuti pendedahan seterusnya bagaimana Rosmah boleh memperdayakan Najib hingga beliau sanggup memisahkan isterinya untuk membeli Rosmah dengan harga jutaan ringgit. Apakah rahsia disebalik perkara ini. Ternyata, langkah Rosmah menjadi orang nombor satu sudah bermula sejak Najib bergelar MB Pahang lagi. Najib juga dikatakan tidak sempat menamatkan pengajiannya di England, dan dalam usia muda beliau telah dipanggil balik ke Pahang untuk menjadi Menteri Besar ketika itu

MIC is in bad shape. It needs a complete overhaul. It will be quite messy and complex. Only the person for this mess can undo the mess.

If the mess is not attended then be assured that IPF would be admitted as another party in the BN fold.

If this happens MIC will slowly but surely will loose whatever prominence it is having.

Please don't let our own people curse you.
