Malaysian Indian Congress
Encyclopedia : M : MA : MAL : Malaysian Indian Congress
The Malaysian Indian Congress (Kongres India Se-Malaysia, MIC) was established in August 1946 at the end of World War II. It was established in the cause of the community's struggle during the inter-war years, to end British colonial rule, as well as in the need for representation on behalf of the Indian Community in the post war development of the country. The MIC joined the Barisan Nasional (National Alliance) in 1954. The current head of the MIC is Dato' Seri S. Samy Vellu.
