PETALING JAYA: MIC shouldn't "jump the gun" over the issue of Umno supreme council being the "caretaker" of the party until the Registrar of Societies (ROS) has completed studying all evidence pertaining to the matter, says Umno information chief Shahril Hamdan. On Thursday, MIC president Tan Sri SA Vigneswaran called for a Barisan meeting to be called as soon as possible to discuss the direction of the coalition. According to Vigneswaran, this was because the ROS said the Umno supreme council was only a "caretaker" of the party. Ahmad Zahid said Umno would not accept the ROS' demands for the party to hold its elections this year. ROS director-general Jasri Kasim said the Umno supreme council led by Ahmad Zahid can only carry out administrative matters before party polls.
