SAMY VELLU ONLY HAS HIMSELF TO BLAME

The illustrious personality of Malaysian Indian politics, Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu, has had his fair share of hogging the limelight, and just when many seemed to wonder what had happened to him, he returned with a blast yesterday.

In an interview with the New Sunday Times, he openly blamed his fall from grace on former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

Blaming Dr Mahathir for his loss in the Sungai Siput seat in the 2008 general election, Samy Vellu said the former premier went so far as to tell Umno members not to vote for him.

Although he might have his reasons, Samy Vellu should also ponder what took Dr Mahathir so long to exact his so-called revenge on him.

After all, Samy Vellu said the reason Dr Mahathir did so was because the latter was unhappy that he did not allow the Indian Progressive Front to come into the Barisan Nasional fold.
