Mugilan reveals document on Samy's 'stashed funds

By G Vinod

PETALING JAYA: Sacked MIC deputy youth chief V Mugilan today continued with his attacks on party president S Samy Vellu by making fresh claims that the latter had misappropriated the Indian community's funds since 1982.

“I have the evidence to prove that he started his hanky panky from 1982,” said Mugilan who claimed he received an anonymous parcel on June 7 which contained the evidence.

“I received two detailed documents. One is a 1982 bank transfer note which indicates US$815,900 was transferred via telegraph to S Samy Vellu.

“The other is a copy of an MACC report, which alleged Samy Vellu in his capacity as chairman of Maju Institute of Education Development (MIED) had misappropriated RM800,000,” said Mugilan.

He showed reporters the MACC report, filed under Complaint No: 0050/2010, which was taken down by an officer named Barbara Anak Panit in February 2010.

“Why is the MACC is pussy-footing over its investigation into this report? I urge the anti-graft body to hasten its investigations,” he told reporters at a press conference today.

Mugilan alleged that Samy Vellu had even purchased a watch worth RM113,000 using MIED funds.

“This a serious matter and I urge the government to set up a special Cabinet-level committee to get to the bottom of the matter. I will be making a police report after consulting my lawyers,” he said.

In another development, Mugilan said that he will be filing a RM2 million suit against Tamil Nesan for labelling him “anti-MIC”.

“Kumar is also suing the daily for a similar sum for tarnishing his name,” he said, referring to former central working committee member G Kumar Aamaan who was present by his side
