A newspaper report anonymously claims I have disappeared mysteriously. FYI my party leaders and branch chairmen and members know I have been going  on the ground, not merely attending state AGMs but also meeting grassroots.

I take my politics seriously and I have stated my stand on all party issues clearly, especially on issues relating to my loyalty to the MIC and my support to the president. On the matter of sacking MIC leaders, I have also discussed my opinions directly with the president. These are party matters and where transparency is required I have made public the necessary issues but where confidentiality is required  I have also respected the need to be confidential.

I will not be compromising the party’s procedures and  where and when I will make public what concerns the public. As for the party, MIC leaders and members are well informed of my actions and action plans which is done through party communication lines.

I have never been one to jump into a public bandwagon for publicity and make mileage of conflicts and crises.

One does not have to busy in the newspapers to express views. I am traveling division by division in Selangor to explain the  current political situation. For example, yesterday I was in Puchong. the other day in Gombak and in the next few days I will be visiting other divisions.

I have been to the MIC state conventions in Penang, Wilayah Persekutuan, Negeri Sembilan, Melaka, Johor and Pahang. And the last statement I issued was quite recent…. so where is the so called ‘mysterious disappearance’?

We have been always supporting the president and standing with him on party issues.  Anyway, keeping quiet and calm is a very difficult job especially when you are second in command!

In addition, DS Samy Vellu is well qualified to handle all eventualities and knows the stand of all his supporters and loyalists.
