Many Malaysians know fully well why Pak Lah had declared Thaipusam a public holiday in Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya.

MIC and Samy Vellu had been asking for Thaipusam to be declared a national holiday since1986 and that is 22 years , but to no avail.

Just two months after the Hindraf rally, the government finally took note.

It may be too late now to save the day for BN and MIC.
