@indian_malaysian_online: MIC Branch Leaders disrupt GAS 2 MIC’s Culture of Violence MIC, one of the oldest political parties in Malaysia, recently marked its 80th anniversary. Founded with left-leaning roots by Devasar as an elite organisation, it was later transformed by Sambanthan into a mass-based party representing Indian Malaysian plantation workers. Under Samy Vellu, the party reached its peak in influence and organisational strength. However, following his era, MIC’s popularity declined and the party gradually weakened. Beyond issues such as the Padang Jawa demolition controversy, another key factor behind MIC’s decline is the legacy of internal conflict and a culture of violence that emerged during the power struggles among Samy Vellu, Subramaniam, and Pandithan. Each faction has blamed the other for introducing and normalising this violent political culture rather than strengthening party unity. Incidents of physical confrontations, including fistfights and chair-throwing, reportedly occurred even at branch level, reflecting deep internal divisions that have undermined the party’s cohesion. #MIC # Samy Vellu #realtalk #Hisory
