Dato Samy velu had been following Tun M too long. The mindset and the way he spoke also looked like him. I still admire him for he could be MIC's President for so long a record quite hard for future presidents to break. He has his strong and weak points, nevertheless he is a great politician in malaysian context. The only thing I feel sorry for him at his retirement ages he has to face a civil suits from "so called mistress" to claim maintenance fees from him, but vehemently objected by his son, hopefully this matter can solve amicably so he can live in peace for the last phase of his life no matter up to what age. We wish him long life and live in peace of mind and happy.
See back, 10-years now! Samy vellu might not do enough for the Indians because of UMNO & Mahathir racist policy & blockage, but he certainly do his best for the Indian & Indian unity, compare to today clown's Government!
See Samy Vellu opinion about Tun Mahathir in this interview ,he praise him as great builder of Nation but today Samy died, Tun Mahathir did not say a word about him or gave him last respect .Tun Mahathir used Samy for his privatization project govern owned asset and companies transfered by Samy to many UMNO politician and UMNO man became billionaire and millionaire overnight, e.g Plus , telekom , pos Malaysia under Samy Vellu ministership
He is the man for Indian community, I like him very much because of his dare to any one, he don’t care what people said bad about him. He do what he want to do, I as a PERTUBUHAN BANTUAN SHASTA SELANGOR PRESIDENT, I wish to be like him.
Until and unless all/ most Political corruption cases are dealt with and cases initiated .At least Untill Najib and Hamidi cases are all in the courts and hamidi is also in Jail this man ( Sabri) cannot be free to contest for PM. The world is watching. Political thieves, dont deserve pardons.
kalah dengan calon PSM bukan Pakatan. Parti PSM yang begitu kecil jumlah ahlinya,dapat mengalahkan seorang Pemimpin yang tinggi dalam BN. MIC akan bubar dengan sendirinya selepas PRU13 ini....Samy ... enough of your opinions... you destroyed the Indian community and their future ....
he is always a very good politician nevertheless, and he was a good leader too. corruption wise yeah, but who is perfect end of the day? and i dont get the logic of blaming a poor old man for each and every problems of individuals which they can solve by themselves most of the times.admire his confidence, bravery, and intelligence at this age.
For the past 2 generations, Malaysians especially the majority of the major community had been trained to seek rental as the sole mean of survival. How long this will take to change is any's guess. It may take another 2 generations, if we are lucky to retrain the mind to think that the survival of any nation is to be competitive as the general mindset of the whole world is changing. I think it is a waste of time interviewing such leaders who could only talk but pocketed all the aids due to his community! It is a waste of time!
SV U failed to create Indian majority constituencies during Ur tenure.... That's why we're still begging, discriminated & etc in this country... Ur not fit to b called Tun
Dei sambarani...you should not contest in 2008..must walk away like Lim Keng Yaik..whom not disgraced by lost election.No other component of BN party leader overstayed like you..because your bombastic drama speech does not work out in the new era...and systematically installed gangsters into M.I.C.What l legacy you leave behind..is MiC turn gangster partyand gangster become leader..shame to you samy...remember Indians ditch you finally.Lesson for all leaders..
