Samy Vellu plagiarises poem to congratulate Pak Lah
Yesterday I repost a blog about Samy Vellu penning a poem to congratulate Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi on his wedding this Saturday.
This morning, I saw a response from KNS that the poem is plagiarized from “Blessing For A Marriage”. KNS provided the link, http://www.churchofancientways.org/spirituallove.html
I then went into Google Search to see what had Samy Vellu actually penned for this joyous occasion. I found it in Bernama but not Malaysiakini.
Eh.. I found that there is another part to Samy’s “poem”. If he could plagiarise the second part of his “poem”, then I thought he would also do likewise for the first part.
I went into Google Search again and bingo there it was found at http://www.wedding-references.com/poetry-on-marriage.htm
I also found out that someone else has already found out yesterday that Samy Vellu had indeed plagiarized his poem from parts of two poems as listed above.
What are you going to say, Samy Vellu?
wow!!!! He set a good example of plagiarism to the public!!!

Actually an anonymous commenter mentioned on the site that the first segment of the poem could be from one author and the second segment from another author.
