MIC is crossing the Rubicon

MIC deputy president Datuk Seri M Saravanan pointed out that his party is crossing the Rubicon while officiating the party’s women, youth, Putera and Puteri delegates convention in Shah Alam today.

He also used the controversy sparked off by International Islamic University’s Associate Professor Solehah Yaacob’s claim that Rome learnt to build ships from the Malays.

“The future lies in where we are respected. President told me not to say it even in a flow of thoughts. I am reminded of a phrase by Julius Caesar since people are talking about Rome.

“Rome learnt to make ships from us,” he said, in reference Solehah.

“There was a request to Julius Caesar not to cross the river. The phrase today is, we are crossing the Rubicon. We are crossing the river of Rubicon.

“I am not talking about current politics. Just because she spoke about the ships and Rome, I am telling you about Julius Caesar,” he said.

Despite his denial that he is not speaking about MIC politics, it is the clearest indication of where MIC is sailing out of the BN armada.

Rubicon the river was the boundary of Rome.
