KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 15 — Tun S. Samy Vellu’s time in the forefront of Malaysian politics may have passed but his presence has left an indelible mark on many of his Barisan Nasional colleagues, adversaries and even today's up-and-coming generation of politicians.

International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Azmin Ali said that Samy Vellu’s service and devotion played a great part in the country’s physical development. “My condolences to the family. Had the opportunity to be his deputy minister in the Works Ministry from 1999 to 2004. An inspiring person full of advice. May his soul rest in peace,” he said.

“He also ‘recruited’ me to criticise him on Indian issues in Parliament by disclosing on the quiet the necessary information so that he can ask for more on behalf of the Indian community in Cabinet. He would then give me the ok sign after getting the extra allocation.

A giant indeed. His giant greed for money and bribes and all manner of ill-gotten gains. All done while ignoring Malaysian Indians' needs. A giant piece of faeces Mr No Value.

My condolences to Tun’s family. May his soul Rest In Peace. 🙏🏾

Thank you Malaysia 🇲🇾
