Perak MIC will now be headed by party president Datuk Seri G. Palanivel.
He said Sunday that he made the decision in a move to strengthen the party's base in Perak
“The state MIC needs to focus on strengthening not only the party but it's reach with the voters.
“Perak is an important state for the MIC and Barisan Nasional. While everybody might be under the presumption that our votes are coming back, we have to continue our efforts to win over the hearts and minds of the people," he added in a statement.
Palanivel, who is also Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, said the move was something he had been considering for quite some time.
He said he would have a meeting with MIC division heads in Perak soon.
"The entire focus of Perak MIC should be on facing the forthcoming general election," he added.
