Samy Velu's Twist

You may have read about the recent land deal fiasco in Bandar Utama,Selangor where some prominent VIPs and political figures name popped up. These plots are supposedly to be allocated for a Surau, Tamil School and other community projects. When the news was flashed those involved denied any wrong doing.

More so by the self proclaimed “The Chosen One & Only” MIC leader Samy Velu. He denied any wrong doings and emphasized that all the documents were in order and he was only acting as a trustee for MIC and he has no self interest but rather working very hard to up lift the Indians in Malaysia.

On top of that the party’s Secretary General who is also the Minister of Human Resources, reiterated the same. As quoted in Malaysiakini, in his own words “There is no impropriety in MIC’s ownership of the land adjacent to the Tamil school in Bandar Utama, party secretary-general S Subramaniam claimed today.”

"In addition, each of its trustees executed a ‘Pengakuan Penempatan’ addressed to the land office confirming that they (on behalf of MIC) as trustees were making the said application.

Interestingly both sang the same tune verily denying any wrong doing on the land deal. Subramanian further went on to say that “The recent press statements, to the effect that Samy Vellu is the beneficial owner of the said land, are untrue and calculated to disparage him.

“These statements are made by persons associated with the present state government, purely for a political agenda,” said Subramaniam.

He further mentioned that “The MIC president has never claimed ownership of the said land. In fact, the land has been disclosed as an asset of the MIC in all its audited accounts since 2000,” he emphasised
