Samy's son Vell Paari apologies to UMNO

Perpatah di kalangan  orang-orang tua kita.  

Bercakap waktu siang pandang-pandang, bercakap waktu malam dengar-dengar.  

Sebab pulut santan binasa,  sebab mulut badan binasa.  

Terlajak perahu boleh diundur, terlajak kata buruk padahnya.

Sendiri buat sendiri tanggunglah.

KUALA LUMPUR: MIC Central Working Committee member S. Vell Paari has apolgised for claims that Umno was employing political assassins to get rid of his father, MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu.

In a statement, he said it was clear that Umno was not involved in any way with the Gerakan Anti Samy (GAS).

“Many Umno leaders have clearly stated that they have not encouraged or worked with former MIC Youth deputy leader V. Mugilan in any way.

“Therefore I would like to say sorry to the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister and Umno for my earlier statement,” he said.

Vell Paari said that it was his duty to defend his father when he came under attack by GAS leaders like Mugilan, K.P. Samy and G. Kumar Aaman.

“I was also reacting to the fact that Mugilan and Kumar had repeatedly and publicly dragged Umno’s name into their recent statements and actions,” he said.

He said he had also explained his position to the Prime Minister earlier Friday.
“Moving forward, I hope we can all put this behind and work together as we always have in the Barisan family,” he said.
