PETALING JAYA: The Registrar of Societies (RoS) has declared that Datuk Seri G. Palanivel is no longer an MIC member, claims acting party president Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam.
Dr. Subramaniam said the RoS sent a letter addressed to the party’s Central Working Committee 2009 and it said that as per article 91 of the MIC constitution, Palanivel was no longer a member of the party.
“The RoS has also recognised that Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam will function in the capacity of acting president to lead the CWC 2009 to conduct the party’s re-elections as per the RoS decision,” said Dr Subramaniam in the statement on Thursday.
Last week, Dr Subramaniam announced that branch elections will be held next month, and the whole process to be completed by October.
Palanivel’s call for the meeting sends the message that he will also be organising the re-election, meaning there will be two re-election plans.
To add more drama into the mix, Dr Subramaniam had earlier announced that Palanivel was no longer a member when he took the matter to the RoS without endorsement from the CWC.
The High Court here on Monday dismissed two judicial review applications filed by four MIC leaders and its strategic director.
