GAS to invite Samy to gathering

The Gerakan Anti-Samy Vellu (GAS)’s next gathering will include MIC president S Samy Vellu, that is if he accepts the movement’s invitation to address the crowd.

GAS member and former MIC central working committee member KP Samy in revealing the movement’s intentions today said: “This time I am going to extend an invitation to Samy Vellu.

“Let him come and address the crowd. We will be there to raise questions and he can rest be assured that we will not behave like the thugs he sent on July 4.”

Samy was alluding to the incident on July 4, when Samy Vellu allegedly sent “hooligans to disrupt” an Indian Unity gathering organised by GAS .

According to Samy, the “hooligans” were led by Selangor MIC information chief L Sivasubramaniam who alleged that the gathering aimed to discredit Samy Vellu and therefore had to be stopped.

“We repeatedly told them (Sivasubramaniam and team) that the gathering was peaceful and will not go on a character assassination spree but they refused to listen.

“So now we are going to give him an avenue to express his side of the story.

“If he declines, it will show Malaysia that he is nothing but a coward.” said Samy adding that there would also be no reason for SamyVellu to send “his hooligans” again.

Samy also lashed out at Siva Subramaniam for using foul words to disrupt the unity gathering in Klang.

“Samy Vellu had appointed him as Selangor MIC information chief. But is this how a leader behaves? “ he asked

Samy also drew attention to the fact that “SivaSubramaniam and his gang’s “misbehaviour” at the July 4 gathering was recorded by several media.

“I am sure Samy Vellu is aware of the wrongdoings of his people. A lot of media played the video where Siva and his gang were misbehaving in the event.

“SamyVellu should refer them to the disciplinary committee and reprimand them according to the party constitution,” he said adding that GAS will distribute a copy of the video of the July 4 incident to MIC central working committee members and the party's 3600 branch chairmen.

“Let them see the real character of the Selangor MIC information chief,” Samy said.
