MIC confirms support for PM Anwar regardless of the coalition

MIC confirmed support for PM Anwar even if it breaks away from BN

MIC president Tan Sri SA Vigneswaran ruled out the possibility of going solo altogether.

As for the resolution to leave BN, it will now be decided by the party’s central working committee.

“Most importantly, we are in a dilemma because the prime minister himself has not committed any wrong (in this development). So we are firm about supporting him for the next two years.

“We have guaranteed before that we will support Anwar through this term. That decision is still in effect,” he told reporters after the conclusion of MIC’s annual convention at IDCC Shah Alam.

“We’re not playing politics. We’re just fed up (about our position in BN). We made this decision to make sure any power-sharing formula must be based on the principle of dignity.”

Vigneswaran said Anwar was aware of the developments and that he had discussed the matter with the Pakatan Harapan chairman last Friday.

“I spoke to him, not to negotiate seats but to tell him we want to leave BN. He advised me to rethink because we have been with BN for a long time.”

The former Senate president added that BN chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had not been informed yet about the matter as MIC viewed it as an internal affair.
