SEPT 2- The new de facto MIC president is none other than Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak. MIC seems to be inefficient in addressing their internal party woes for ages and clearly lack the wisdom of leadership.
It is embarrassing to the highest degree for the fact that their houses are in such a pandemonium ever since G Palanivel took over the helm.
Party president Palanivel never could take control of the troubled party. In essence, over the years MIC has done more damage and dent on the morale of the Indian community than bringing tangible benefits in general.
MIC gyrates on selfish and self-agenda platforms and has conveniently neglected the Indians per se.
Though given the doubt, with a pinch of salt, MIC tries very hard in projecting an image of championing Indian agenda in the Malaysian context, it has failed miserably.
From the Maika scandal right up to the AIMST University, it has fumbled in all projects. It is so entangled with its internal power struggles and dilemma.
MICs’ top leaders are behaving nothing more than class monitors in primary school. Frankly they do not even deserve to be school prefects.
Will Umno or MCA ever listen to the MIC president on how to run their houses? It is a big slap on the Indians in general to showcase to the world that they are just paraplegics in handling issues.
Their in-fighting that compelled the Prime Minister to intervene at presidential level warrants a serious and critical reflective view on themselves.
Have they gone to such a low level in politics that an Umno man has to advise them; and that too in the open?
There is no forgiving to the irrelevant leaders in MIC to have escalated their dirty linen droppings into the public court, so much to the extent that they stand corrected by Umno literally.
MIC has and never will learn what it takes to be the pulse of the nation, especially to those few die-hard Indian fans that they still boast about.
MCA was tossed out like a stale roti canai from the political mainstream during the 13th general election. On the other hand MIC is like a fish being fried alive in rancid oil. And yet unheedingly, MIC forerunners are too deaf and dumb to realise that their leisurely drive is long gone.
The mamak stalls are well known for their notoriety in recycling day before curries and dishing them out in the next day meals. Looks like MIC has taken an evening stroll on the same path. Are there no any Indian talents left in the country?
Beaten class monitor
A capable leader and one that demands respect from the majority will never take the path of a no-contest when time comes. Above that a good leader will always have the optimal leveraging power in the event consensus is to be negotiated when the moment comes.
But Palanivel, like a beaten class monitor ran crying into the arms of the headmaster and complained about the school bullying. He was pretty sure, being the monitor; the head master will pacify him and provide the necessary lollipops.
And that is exactly what happened when Najib took the cane out and said “look here you two, time to be good boys and go back to class. This year, no need monitor election. Palani, you can be monitor until standard 6, no problem.”
MIC, the all Malaysian Incapable Corporation, has once again proven to the people that as long as we are happy in the party, why bother about the voters.
MIC agenda supercedes community agenda. Dr S Subramaniam is still immature in politics and as punishment must stand by the class door for the next three years before we can allow him in.
The Indian community is battered in terms of economy and equal opportunities for their own making. Their unwarranted contribution to brutal crime in the country is making headlines almost daily.
A significant percentage is still in the lowest income group and many drop out of the mainstream education upon reaching their teens.
Discriminative policies for long have further pushed them into their shells. A community that has been ridiculed and belittled during elections with pittance. MIC is an unpalatable leftover in line for the trash.
PM Najib hails the blue ocean strategy in all aspects of management. Being a strong advocate of the strategy, he has tried his level best in infusing its principles in all transformation agendas.
Nevertheless, MIC and its members are definitely colour blind. Wonder if they even have an inkling what blue ocean strategy is all about. Time to dissolve MIC for good. When a diabetic limb goes gangrene, it has to be amputated to save a life; that best describes the current MIC situation in Barisan Nasional.
The 14th GE is not too far. A Nostradamic prediction will only point the compass towards the exit for BN if they continue dragging maggot filled limbs into the next election battle.
Even a lame duck is worthy of soup, but not MIC. It is idealess, crippled, and gangrenous; thus achieving nothing but negative publicity all this while.
Negative publicity is better than none but eventually it mounts into hatred, anger and disgust. That is the current reality of the all Malaysian Incapable Corporation.
