MIC MPs should team up with their Pakatan
counterparts to improve the lot of Indians while MCA should rescind its
stupid decision to stay out of the cabinet
Although
MIC did not achieve magnificent victories in the 13th General Election,
its lawmakers are still part of government, thus they can do a lot to
help the Indian community.Appended below is the list of MIC MPs:
1 G Palanivel (Cameron Highlands MP, Natural Resources & Environment Minister)
2 S Subramaniam (Segamat MP, Health Minister)
3 P Kamalanathan (Hulu Selangor MP, Deputy Education Minister)
4 M Saravanan (Tapah MP, Deputy Youth & Sports Minister)
However, the Indian voice in Parliament is still more from Pakatan Rakyat’s (PR) side as shown below:
1 N Surendran (PKR, Padang Serai MP)
2 Michael Jeyakumar Devaraj (PKR, Sungai Siput MP)
3 G Manivannan (PKR, Kapar MP)
4 Kasthuriraani Patto (DAP, Batu Kawan MP)
5 M Kulasegaran (DAP, Ipoh Barat MP)
6 V Sivakumar (DAP, Batu Gajah MP)
7 Charles Santiago (DAP, Klang MP)
8 Gobind Singh Deo (DAP, Puchong MP)
9 Karpal Singh (DAP, Bukit Gelugor MP)
Although MIC has said that it captured 60% of the Indian vote, it still has less seats than DAP’s Indian MPs! Even if one were to say that Gobind and Karpal are Sikhs, it only shows that DAP and MIC have an equal number of Indian MPs at four each, but DAP is the only party which has put Sikh MPs in Parliament.
