Parliment ah ? I thought it was assembly by election. I might have missed the details. My pick was : 'appachi yoda kodiya sattaila kuthatheenga, en nenjila kuthunga' :)Quote:

Selva,
What happened in Malaysia was never witnessed in our 51 years in history. Okay, in 1963 Singapore left the country, that was big. But here we witnessed people's power, namely tremendous influence from the Malaysian born Indians. My comments on the election can be found here:http://grouchydays.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
And this is not the first time MGRs songs were used for political reason. The late political leader, MG. Pandithan, used the songs to woo lower class Malaysian Indians during the late eighties and early nineties, when he was part of the opposition pact. Unfortunately, he reverted and joined the ruling party, and in an embarassing moment (to his supporters) he used MGR song to praise one of the ruling party leaders. Nov, do you remember which song?
So, yes, MGR songs are relevant. It did play a small part in this years election, and Pandithans small rise to power amongst the Indian folks.
