Dr M backs Makkal Sakti

PUTRAJAYA, Sept 26 — The latest addition to the proliferation of Indian parties in the country, Makkal Sakti, received a confidence vote today from Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who also pointed out that MIC president Datuk Seri S Samy Vellu had become a much hated leader.

The former prime minister told reporters today the potential inclusion of Makkal Sakti into the Barisan Nasional (BN) fold could be a good thing as it had garnered a lot of support from the Indian community.
“There is a lot of support for this party, which I think is a good thing. The party has proven itself to receive a large amount of support of the Indians,” said Dr Mahathir.
He said that BN needed to regain the support of the Indians, and that by supporting Makkal Sakti, the ruling coalition would be headed in the right direction.
