Analysts: Without the right candidates, MIC will get nowhere

Political pundit Datuk Anbumani Balan noted that the GE14 should serve as MIC's platform to come up with a dynamic, progressive and visionary line-up to win over the hearts of the people and return the Indian support to Barisan.

PUTRAJAYA: MIC has to rethink its strategies to survive the 14th General Election (GE14) or risk going into oblivion. It has to win over the voters' trust and regain parliamentary and state seats that it lost to the Opposition in the last two elections - GE12 in 2008 and GE13 in 2013.  

The third biggest component party of Barisan Nasional is cognisant of the fact that it has to field candidates with high integrity, good credibility and well liked by the voters not only to win in GE14, but also to remain relevant as the voice of the Indians, and in the bigger picture the voice of Malaysians.
