Waytha to MIC: Where did the RM540 million go?

Persatuan Hindraf Malaysia chairperson P Waythamoorthy today demanded MIC president G Palanivel explain how the party had spent a sum of RM540 million purportedly allocated by Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak for the Indian community.

Waythamoorthy was referring to the sum which was mentioned by Najib himself shortly after Waythamoorthy's resignation as deputy minister in the Prime Minister's Department earlier this year.

"Hindraf demands that the MIC leader either confirms or denies that the said sum was delivered to the Indian community. If it has been delivered then they (the MIC) are accountable as to how this sum was disbursed to the Indian community," he said in a Facebook statement.

"If it is not true then Palanivel (left) should come clean and say the Prime Minister was not telling the truth," he added.

Waythamoorthy warned that if the plight of Indians in the country continues to be unattended, the community would soon go to a "point of a return".

"The communities could soon go into a point of no return like the blacks in America and England- living in ghettos," he said.

Waythamoorthy said that if MIC does not provide clarification within the next seven days, it would amount to a "tacit admission" that the PM was not telling the truth.
