MIC is ready to discuss with the Barisan Nasional (BN) component parties to swap seats in the upcoming 14th General Elections (GE14), its president Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam said.
But the discussion, he said, would not change the MIC's intention to defend the nine parliamentary seats and the 19 state seats it contested in GE13.
He said the existing seat allocation principle should be maintained because any change will have implications on the system and traditions practiced for a long time.
"So far there are no plans to give up the existing seats, but in terms of swapping seats, we can discuss. MIC is ready to talk, but not about reducing the number of seats to be contested by the party.
"We will find a good solution through the spirit of kinship in BN, I believe it can be resolved," he told reporters after chairing the MIC Central Working Committee (CWC) meeting, in Kuala Lumpur today.- Mkini
