Kuala Lumpur, Mar 1 : Malaysian Indians are set to play a crucial role in this year’s general elections in the country, as in around 62 parliamentary and 130 state seats they comprise 10 per cent or more voters, enough to tilt results in one’s favour.
Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC) president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu said that Indians form a significant size of voters and the MIC’s role is to bring in these voters for the BN (Barison National). "This is our commitment and duty", the New Straits Times Online quoted him as saying in an interview.
