KUALA LUMPUR: A woman MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu promoted to high office is now threatening him with law suits and police reports over his financial and political dealings.
P. Chitrakala Vasu, 38, told a press conference on Saturday that she was innocent of the accusations of mismanaging MIED, the party’s education arm that manages the AIMST University in Kedah and other colleges, and of construction cost over-runs.
“I am clean… it is Samy Vellu who has to answer these accusations. He is the MIED chairman and he has to answer,” she said.
Chitrakala is on leave from her job as CEO of MIED, which she has headed for 15 years.
“The MIED has grown and expanded under my management and is now worth RM1bil. It belongs to the MIC and the Indian community,” she said refuting claims that the MIED was an independent entity.
Samy Vellu alleged recently that files and a sum of RM5mil was missing from the MIED. He also alleged impropriety in the awarding of contracts for AIMST University.
MIED director and MIC vice-president Datuk S. Sothinathan lodged two police reports earlier this month alleging MIED files were missing along with RM5mil.
Police recorded statements from various MIED officials, including Samy Vellu, who was interviewed for nearly five hours last week.
Chitrakala said her relations with Samy Vellu turned sour after the MIC suffered massively during the March 8, 2008 general election which saw Samy Vellu himself losing his Sungei Siput seat.
She said she incurred his wrath when she resisted Samy Vellu’s moves to change MIED members and directors, move the MIED out of the MIC building and disconnect MIED from the MIC.
She said she was “very scared” of Samy Vellu even as she was willing to criticise her former boss publicly.
She was also going public because she feared she would be blamed for all sorts financial and other improprieties connected with the MIED.
“I don’t want to be the fall guy,” she said.
Chitrakala lodged two police reports in Subang on Saturday morning
