Weighing in: Dr Sivamurugan (left) and Anbumani are among the pundits who feel that without the right candidates, MIC will get nowhere.

PUTRAJAYA: MIC has to rethink its strategies to survive the coming general election by fielding the right candidates to regain the seats that it lost to the Opposition in the last two elections, say political researchers.

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