It is now clear that MIC is not allowed to contest in the Cameron Highlands by-election.

UMNO will be contesting in the by-election.

Cameron Highlands had never been contested by UMNO in the past sixty years since Merdeka, and the latest development shows the arrogance of UMNO as far as the other BN parties are concerned.

MIC should immediately quit Barisan Nasional if it has any honour or dignity left, as it should not be another MCA.
