Malayisian Indian party a threat to the Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC)

Malaysia's top ethnic Indian minority group was shunned years ago after the launch of the rival party, the reason why this is a harsh to the MIC is because the BN coalition has ruled since independence in 1957. They say that Najib needs to reclaim support from minority Indians and Chinese who are shifting towards a resurgent opposition, cannot rely on the MIC, which is widely seen as out of touch and beset by cronyism.

And:
"That the PM himself is backing a small, insignificant Indian party shows he has lost faith in the MIC, and the MSP is now a threat to the MIC, which will definitely try to block it from joining the ruling coalition," said political analyst Khoo Kay Peng.

Najib said he is willing to work with anyone who is in support of the government, and that he is trying to improve the living conditions of the Indian community. Ethnic Indians make up 27 million of the Malaysia population.
