This afternoon I had a chance to speak to MIC members at meet the branches sessions in Sepang and Hulu Langat. I spoke at considerable length about how we should focus on achieving unity within the party.

Achieving unity within the party should be our priority. That should be part of our KPI. Only a united party will have the strength to function politically, especially in a state which is being ruled by the opposition.

Now that the division and national level party elections were over, we should set aside our differences and function as a united force. Our constitution has given us the right to contest for posts and party members have the right to vote people in and out. We are eligible for this role every three years. Once the elections are over, we must return to the fold and unite as one voice politically.

I stress again that political unity should be part of our KPI. Only a united MIC will have the recognition to represent our members and the Indian community in important forums.
