KUALA LUMPUR: MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu has streamlined the machinery of the party’s four wings into a single working engine, and introduce the Kelab Rakan MIC or MIC Partners Club to woo apolitical youths.

Under the streamlining exercise, the Wanita, Youth, Puteri and Putera movements will form a joint committee to operate as a single group without having to merge, he said.

The MIC chief also said the four movements would each form a volunteer corps to assist the party in its social work.

“These are some of the changes that we have to make in order to better serve the community,” he said when opening the Wanita MIC, Youth, Puteri and Putera annual general assemblies simultaneously at Putra World Trade Centre here Sunday.

On Kelab Rakan MIC, Samy Vellu said there were no formalities involved such as registration because it would be formed throughout the country by non-MIC members.

“It will operate as a club but with certain regulations. The club will be open to all races and age groups, and will not be a political group. It will be free from politics,” he said.

He said the club would cater for people who adopted “non-partisan and non-racial politics”, especially among educated and urban youths.

Samy Vellu also ordered the four movements to prepare a “strategy for victory” plan of action within two months to face the next general election.

He also told the movements to aggressively register voters.

“Our mission is to recapture all the parliamentary and state seats we lost in the last general election and deliver the Indian votes to Barisan Nasional,” he said.

“The Barisan leadership is counting on us to deliver the Indian votes. We need to deliver,” he added.
