Subramaniam's defection was not a boost for Pakatan Rakyat

The political influence of powerful individual is the ultimate way to help the BN government maintain its political dominance.

S Subramaniam

Former vice-president Subramaniam has little influence left in the Barisan Nasional as well as MIC, thus his defection was not a boost for the Pakatan Rakyat.

The ultimate cause for him to jump is because it was to his political benefit. He is irrelevant in BN and by joining PKR with the hope he might regain political power.

Undeniably, this defection probably did not affect the political dominance of MIC and BN in particular in any significant manner as Subramaniam had not contributed much in the struggle to champion the cause of the Indian community.

It’s a well known fact that Samy Vellu had enjoyed political dominance and still maintained dominant political power in MIC.

Subramaniam had opposed Samy Vellu on many occasions, causing him to be dropped from the vice-president’S post in 1994 in favor of his successor Dr S. Subramaniam. It was proof that he had no place within MIC.

Although Subramaniam had exploited it for his political gain but MIC president S Samy Vellu does not see it as a loss. In fact, what Subramaniam has done is a good thing as far as MIC and Samy Vellu was concerned.

S Subramaniam announced he had joined PKR and that 10 MIC branches with 1,700 members in the Klang Valley would follow suit in the near future.

Samy Vellu denied the claim and said that only 300 members were involved.
