Red Alert for MIC

Since Independence and MIC join BN(Barisan National), its become a usually any candidate who compete under MIC seat will win . But this 12th Malaysian in a big turnaround for this factor . Indians emotional change rapidly caused by some major political and religion issues issues .

The first signs of trouble for MIC appeared in Penang and Kedah last October, when Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) leaders went on a nationwide tour lambasting the demolition of Hindu temples.

Thousands of Indians attended their road shows in parts of Kedah and Penang. A MIC state representative was booed vehemently when he eulogised the work of Samy Vellu and his party.

Further anger was provoked by the forcible dispersal of the Hindraf rally on Nov 25. A different form of dissent was triggered against the MIC when Hindraf leaders were detained under the ISA and the movement was labelled as extremists.


All this issues caused MIC candidates now pushed into danger in upcoming 12th Malaysian election .
Five of the parliamentary seats that MIC is contesting look like they are in the bag.

These are Hulu Selangor (deputy president G Palanivel), Tapah (new face M Saravanan), Cameron Highlands, (incumbent SK Devamany), Segamat (secretary-general and incumbent Dr S Subramaniam) and Subang (newcomer S Murugesan).
