Ironically, politics was a game of logic before but now it’s just a game of numbers. As the case of MIC, it would prove, politics is just a numbers game.
MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu
It was claimed that the new cabinet line-up saw the absence of a senior ministerial portfolio for MIC.
MIC is considering pulling out its ministers from the new cabinet as a protest over the lack of importance accorded to the Indian community.
Should any differences exist within Barisan Nasional, it ought to be discussed behind closed doors based on reality and resolved amicably, instead of asking for a big deal.
It was claimed that MIC had lost support of the Indian community and has virtually been annihilated in the last general election.
MIC heavy losses in the election had decreased the popularity of the party. Politically, it is believed that the action of MIC is unjustified although the party will nevertheless continue to remain in the ruling BN coalition.
MIC’s main representative in the new Cabinet is Datuk Dr S. Subramaniam who was reappointed as the Human Resources Minister. The two deputy ministers are Datuk M. Saravanan (Federal Territories Ministry) and Datuk S.K. Devamany (Prime Minister’s Department).
It is reported that MIC felt that as the third largest component member in the Barisan Nasional, the party had not been given due respect or accorded the deserving treatment by the new government.
The main reason for the pull-out threat, claimed to be the new cabinet line-up saw the absence of a senior ministerial portfolio for MIC despite the party's repeated appeal to return the Works Ministry to MIC.
