KANGAR – MIC president Tan Sri S.A. Vigneswaran has reminded the party machinery not to be dependent on the data collected by Barisan Nasional (BN) to face the 15th general election (GE15).

Instead, he said MIC should make an effort to strengthen its election machinery to gain support from the Indian community.

Vigneswaran also urged all party members to work hard to ensure a victory for BN in GE15.

“We do not want to continue to ‘burden’ Umno, which has been working hard for BN. MIC must learn to work like Umno.

“We will ensure that MIC will also contribute to BN’s victory in GE15,” he told reporters after officiating the 75th and 76th Perlis MIC Convention here, today.

Also present were Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Azlan Man, several MIC central working committee members and Perlis MIC chairman S. Ilanckoh.

On the distribution of seats for GE15, Vigneswaran, who is also the Prime Minister’s Special Envoy to India and South Asia, said the matter would be discussed with Umno and other BN component parties. – Bernama, August 12, 2022
