MIC is considering pulling out its ministers from the new cabinet as a protest over the lack of importance accorded to the Indian community.
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.
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.
Should there exist any differences within Barisan Nasional, it should be discussed behind closed doors based on reality and resolved amicably, instead of asking for a big deal.
Politically, it is believed that the action of MIC is unjustified although the party will nevertheless continue to remain in the ruling BN coalition. The question remains: Is politics a game of logic or numbers?
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).
The 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.
