I start my blog today to thank all my supporters who worked hard, stood by me and delivered a historic victory to me and to the MIC.

To the MIC delegates who chose to stand by me, work with me for a better future and who overcame many obstacles, I congratulate you on this victory. This win is not mine but a collective one! It is OUR victory. Thank you very much.

I am humbled by the support, devotion and belief in me and my work. You give me great confidence to continue with my journey and my mission. I thank God for giving me the opportunity to work with so many people who have much to contribute and share. I will work hard to reflect all of their collective goodness and abilities.

While we celebrate this victory we must do it with due respect to those who lost and hope that they have the grace to close ranks and work together because our goals are the same – to work for the betterment of the Indian community and all Malaysians.

Thank you and God bless all Malaysians!
