My father left his mark on many people, says Vell Paari

KUALA LUMPUR: Tun S. Samy Vellu's only son, Datuk Seri Vell Paari says that although his father was a leader, he never shirked his family duties.

"It is a very big loss to the family. He was a person who was much orientated to the community; he was one who broke the shackles of the Indian community in education when he started the Maju Institute of Educational Development, together with his partners," said Vell Paari.
