Datuk Seri S Samy Vellu could be considered as one of the best Stateman Malaysian Indians ever had, since during his lawmaker years, he did fight for the rights of Indians in this country. But as usual, you can't please everyone and you can't do wonders - you know what I mean.
I had on a few ocassions met and spoken to Datuk Seri S Samy Vellu. Please note that I am not a MIC member. Although being arogant in nature, he admires those who stood up to their belief.
We can never deny that this 'great' Stateman has help the Malaysian Indian community but his struggle to achieve these goals were fought individually by himself with the help of a few (then) loyal servants, who were MIC leaders, looking for political opportunities and platforms for themselves.
Datuk Seri Samy Vellu successfully established MIED - a foundation that could offer loans to deserving Malaysian Indians to further their studies, AIMST University - a platform for Malaysian Indians to complete university education, Tafe College, Seremban - which provides skill courses for every deserving Malaysian Indians. I had only touched on EDUCATION, since this is the best platform to raise any community. If not for the efforts of Datuk Seri Samy Vellu, these dreams would never have been materialised thus this far.
Datuk Seri Samy Vellu formed and funded YSS which was suppose to look into and uplift the Malaysian Indians and propose to MIC the best ways of achieving this. As usual, the officials of YSS had their best times and the community was negelected.
But everyone of us have our own weakness too. Datuk Seri Samy Vellu has his weakness too. May be his greatest failure was he had trusted his 'double-headed loyal' lieutenants. Datuk Seri Samy Vellu had brushed aside complaints from the grass-roots that their plights were never fulfilled.
Even after the 'historical' street demonstrations, Datuk Seri Samy Vellu never ever thought the MIC would have a disastrous defeat in the 2008 general elections. Datuk Seri Samy Vellu was so confident that he himself would retain his own Sungei Siput parliamentary seat. What happen is history now.
Datuk Seri Samy Vellu, after his disastrous defeat, decided to concentrate on hearing and fullfilling the Indian communities grouses. Since the demands are so huge and without having the 'power' he once had, it was difficult to satisfy most of them. The Indian community felt they have been betrayed by him once again.
Everyone started blaming this poor Datuk Seri Samy Vellu. People who were once loyal started taking matters in their own hands and dissent group started portraying him as the main CROOK and CULPRIT.
One thing Malaysian Indians need to realise is, every politican is a crook in their own way.
Now it seems the best way for the upliftment would be if Datuk Seri Samy Vellu resigns from MIC immediately. Do you think that there is any capable leader in MIC, then this Datuk Seri Samy Vellu, now?
If we take a clear picture we will see that Datuk Seri Samy Vellu is the only person who can deliver since he has nothing to gain. He has already gain so much after years in political life.
So why don't Malaysian Indians give this gentleman, Datuk Seri S Samy Vellu a chance to prove his worth?
