Blogging bandwagon for MIC
By CHAN LI LEEN
IPOH: MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu has urged party leaders to set up their own weblogs (blogs) in an effort to re-brand the Barisan Nasional component party.
MIC would be using the Internet more widely to increase knowledge and understanding of the party's struggles and initiatives, he said.
“We will use it to reach out to professionals and youths. Our leaders need to teach themselves to use the Internet and if possible, create their own blogs,” he told reporters before opening the Perak MIC convention here on Sunday.
Samy Vellu said that the majority of leaders at division and branch levels were still not Net-savvy, so the party would teach those who were willing to learn.
“Soon, we will launch our own portal which would allow the people to take part in discussions.
“We will also make it compulsory for each state committee to have its own website and to update them daily,” he added.
MIC would be spending RM400,000 to equip some 160 divisions with computers and other equipment.
