Samy Vellu To Meet India's Leaders To Explain Our Situation. Isn't This Inviting Interference In Our Affairs Nazri?.

According to a Bernama report the latest desperado in Malaysia's political landscape, Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu claimed that he will be meeting Indian leaders, including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, to 'explain the real situation' concerning the Indian community in Malaysia.

Samy Vellu, who is also MIC president, said he would undertake a similar effort with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister S. Karunanidhi.

He said that in view of negative publicity arising from the Nov 25 illegal street demonstrations in Kuala Lumpur involving a group of Indian Malaysians, he would explain to the two leaders the 'actual position' of the Indian community in Malaysia.

He hoped to meet the Indian prime minister on the sidelines of the Pravasi Barathiya Divas 2008 conference beginning Jan 7 which is an annual gathering of people of Indian origin from all over the world. He would also meet the Tamil Nadu chief minister here within the next few days, he said.

Samy Vellu said it was not true that Indians in Malaysia were deprived of so many things and that many Hindu temples had been demolished arbitrarily.

"Some of the temples were demolished because of court orders as they were built illegally," he said, adding that many of the temples were 'relocated' to alternative sites.

He also said that the Malaysian government had 'created many opportunities' for Indian Malaysians and many were doing well in various fields.

Samy Vellu expressed hope that his explanation to the Indian government would clear up any misunderstanding over the issue. |more...|
