Money politics did me in: Subra

KUALA LUMPUR, Sat: Datuk S. Subramaniam, who lost in his bid to regain the MIC deputy president's post, attributed money politics as largely contributing to his defeat.

He said, money was openly given, a minimum of RM300 to each delegate.

"I accept the defeat. It was very disappointing. I did not expect (the loss)," he told reporters.

Asked whether he would join another party or form a new political party, or what his next move would possibily be, the once long-time deputy president said: "I will take some time to think about it (next move).

Asked whether the prime minister's "message" today was not heeded by the delegates, Subramaniam said: "I think the prime minister made an important call. I think the message got lost." - + selanjutnya
