BANDUNG, Nov 26 (Bernama) -- The MIC has set up the Putera MIC Indonesia to cater to the Malaysian Indian students in the country.
MIC Youth chief T. Mohan, who launched the movement here recently, also announced the appointment of S. Moganaraj, a fourth year medical student at the Universiti Padjajaran, as the movement's coordinator.
Moganaraj would coordinate the formation of Putera MIC Indonesia committees throughout the country, Mohan said.
"For a start, we have registered about 80 students as Putera MIC Indonesia members. We hope to register at least half or about 400 of 800 Malaysian Indian students in the country," he told Bernama.
Announcing the formation of Putera MIC Indonesia at a Deepavali celebration organised by Indian students here last Monday, Mohan said Putera MIC Indonesia would ensure Malaysian students abroad were able to receive accurate information on events back home.
Just like Umno clubs overseas, which catered to the Malay students, Mohan said the Putera MIC Indonesia would not be involved in politics but would focus on student activities and maintaining close relations with central MIC.
Mohan said that at this initial stage, Putera MIC in Indonesia would also cover activities involving Indian female students.
Meanwhile, Malaysian Students Department director in Indonesia Datuk Dr Junaidi Abu Bakar said the department welcomed the Putera MIC.
He said that the movement would be an additional platform for students to carry out activities in the 1Malaysia spirit.
He said that Putera MIC would be affiliated to the Malaysian National Students Association in Indonesia.
Like those by Umno clubs here, Putera MIC's activities would also involve the participation of students of other races, he said.
