Samy Vellu: Not right to tell me to retire as MIC chief


PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu (pix) says no one had the right to tell him when he should have retired as MIC chief.

He was responding to excerpts from former prime minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's upcoming book, 'Awakening: The Abdullah Badawi Years in Malaysia', that he was asked to retire as MIC president, about a year before the 2008 general election but he had flatly refused.
