Video – SAMY Facing his Final Countdown Defeat Slams at Hindraf; Despite Form irregularities allowed to Contest facing Dr Jeyakumar & Independant

SMSes are floating around the last two days calling Indians NOT to vote MIC Candidates. They are no longer Credible.

Time is running out for Samy Vellu and he is in a state of despair. Right up to election time, he still cannot fathom the problems faced by his countrymen when he declared he would lead MIC's elected representatives on “a state-by-state visit to find out the problems on the ground after the elections”. In the meantime he questioned Hindraf motive when he said (listen to his words in the Video Clip”

“You want to finish up the MIC. After that who is going to be there? You are not a Political Party, you don’t have politics. You have a handful of 10,000 Indians with you all young people. What is your plan? What is the future for the Indians? What are you going to do for the Indians? Do you treat the sick people? Do you educate the Indian youths?”

To his dying days in politics, Samy is still unable to perceive the sufferings of the majority of the Indians living from hand to mouth in the lower rungs of society. And all this is his doing. In his efforts to help the community, he and his right hand men have helped themselves to the lion’s share of the little goodies that were given to them.
Samy your time is near, in a matter of days when the final curtain is drawn for you to exit shamefully. You can only hope to win on a single vote. You have finally sober up and realize the reality swelling on the grounds. It is the river of no return for you.

Monday February 25, 2008; STAR; MIC to woo 250,000 non-members
IPOH: The MIC will go all out to woo the more than 250,000 Indians who are not members of the party to vote for Barisan Nasional, its president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu said. He said party members have been working continuously to identify the voters, and brief them. “We have 630,000 members, of which 65% are voters. We are confident they will support MIC candidates and Barisan,” he told reporters after submitting his nomination papers to contest the Sungai Siput parliamentary seat here yesterday. The 71-year-old Samy Vellu, who is also the Works Minister, will be facing Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) candidate Dr Michael Jeyakumar Devaraj, who is contesting on a PKR ticket, and Independent Nor Rizan Oon. In the 2004 general election, which also saw a three-way fight, Samy Vellu defeated Jeyakumar by 10,235 votes. DAP's Sanmugam Ponmugam Ponnan was the third contender for the seat. On whether he was confident of a bigger majority this time, Samy Vellu said that even a win with a single vote was a victory.

“When I contested for the first time in 1974, I got a majority of only 626 votes. I worked hard and tried to meet the wishes of the electorate, and increased the majority in the next general election,” he said. Samy Vellu said the number of candidates fighting for the seat was not important but that attention should be given to the preparations undertaken by Barisan to win the full support of voters. On MIC’s chances of securing another 100% win in the nine parliamentary and 19 state seats it was contesting, he said a lot of hard work had to be done in three difficult consti-tuencies – Lunas (Kedah), Prai and Bagan Dalam (Penang).He said he would lead MIC's elected representatives on a state-by-state visit to find out the problems on the ground after the elections.

DAP candidate, Sanmugam Ponmugam Ponnan was the third contender for the seat. Samy Vellu said the number of candidates fighting for the seat was not important but instead attention should be given to the preparations undertaken by the Barisan Nasional to win the full support of the voters in the area. Meanwhile, the Elections Commission received three protests from three individuals believed to be members of Party Socialis Malaysia (based on the T-shirt worn by them which spotted the word "Parti Sosialis Malaysia"). Two of them protested to the description of "Minister" as Samy Vellu's occupation in the nomination form. The other was a protest to Samy Vellu's date of birth which was different from the date of March 8 as previously reported by The New Straits Times paper. However, Election Returning Officer, Raya Mad Dan Hassan rejected all three protests. He said the registering of "Minister" in the application form was allowed to be used by the administration of the temporary caretaker government as provided under the Constitution. As for the date of birth, he said the EC took into account the date as given in the nomination form and not as reported by a newspaper.
