PRESS STATEMENT BY 

YB DATUK SERI G. PALANIVEL 

PRESIDENT OF MIC

    I had in my previous media statement stated that a purpoted Interim CWC Meeting is being called by one Mr. Sakthivel Alagappan. He had issued a Notice of Emergency Meeting of the Interim Central Working Committee of MIC dated 12 February 2015 purportedly as " Secretary General, Interim CWC". The meeting was fixed  on 13 February 2015.

    Despite my warnings as President, the purpoted meeting went on yesterday on the 3rd Floor of MIC Headquarters, at 6pm. In my previous media statement,  I had also stated my rights under Articles 46.5 and 49 of the MIC Constitution on my absolute rights as President of MIC.

 I hereby suspend Mr. Sakthivel Alagappan from being a member of MIC for a period of 4 months. This decision is reached after consultation with the Disciplinary Committee Chairman, Mr. Karuppanan. The move is made to stress my rights and prerogatives as Party President of MIC.

    On another note,  I would be meeting the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak over the next few days to inform him my stand as President of MIC concerning a few matters in regards to directives issued by ROS and the validity of my appointment of Dato Sothinathan as Secretary General of MIC. 

Until then, all meetings held in the name of Interim CWC Committee and pursuant to such requisition and notice shall be illegal, null and void.

DATUK SERI G PALANIVEL PRESIDENT 

MALAYSIAN INDIAN CONGRESS
