The MIC president also says that the party is targeting to win seven parliamentary seats and 13 state seats in the general election

KUALA LUMPUR: MIC president Dr S Subramaniam today said that the Cameron Highlands parliamentary constituency ‘belongs’ to the party and MIC will contest the seat at the 14th general election.

He said this in reaction to MyPPP head M Kayveas who has indicated his intention to contest the seat currently held by former MIC chief G Palanivel.

Subramaniam, who is also Health Minister, however played down the ‘request’ by MyPPP, saying that such demands were normal just prior to the general elections.

Both MIC and MyPPP are in the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition. The Cameron Highlands seat is regarded by many as a safe seat for the ruling government.

On another matter, the MIC president said that the party was targeting to win seven parliamentary seats, including  Cameron Highlands, and 13 state seats in the general election.

He said these seats would be the party’s focus besides the other seats it would be contesting, totalling 28.

“Among the parliamentary seats, we want to win all seven seats out of nine eyed and out of 19 state seats, we are focusing on 13 seats,” he told a press conference after opening the Southeast Asia Public Health Nutrition Conference, here, today.

Subramaniam was asked whether MIC had identified the “safe” seats for the party in the coming general election.

Asked on the list of seats the party was confident of winning, Subramaniam, however, declined to reveal as it would be announced later.
