Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said the MIC crisis needed be tackled with the help of a third party.
He said the Barisan Nasional component party's leaders would not reach a consensus if the crisis was to be settled among them.
"MIC always has problems. I think their problems should be resolved with the help of people outside MIC. If it's to be done among them, they will never reach an agreement... this had happened before."
Mahathir said this when asked by reporters to comment on the MIC crisis after placing a plaque at the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia as a national heritage in Kuala Lumpur today.
On whether he would agree if asked to be a mediator, Dr Mahathir said: "I am not a politician anymore. I am only a critic."
He said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak was suitable to be mediator in resolving the MIC crisis.

The internal crisis came about after the Registrar of Societies (RoS) declared as null and void the election for the party's three vice-presidents and 23 Central Working Committee (CWC) members at the MIC general assembly in Malacca in November 2013.
In its letter dated December 5, 2014, RoS ordered MIC to hold re-elections for these posts within 90 days. – Bernama
