JOHOR BARU: MIC will campaign across Melaka to help Barisan Nasional (BN) secure victory in the upcoming state election, despite contesting only one seat.
MIC president Tan Sri S.A. Vigneswaran said the party would mobilise its machinery statewide, with strategic discussions underway to strengthen support among Indian voters.
He said MIC had secured nearly 49 per cent of Indian voter support in the Negri Sembilan state election despite losing both seats it contested and having no parliamentary or state assembly representation.
"Even without state government support or official allocations, we still managed to secure nearly 49 per cent of Indian voters' support. This is not easily achieved without grassroots acceptance," he said after opening the Johor MIC convention yesterday.
