The former MIC secretary-general said he took legal action simply to ascertain Samy Vellu’s mental condition as he has “poor recall and registration of events”. “Consequently, my father needs to be assisted in managing his personal and financial affairs,” Vell Paari said. In the statement, Vell Paari denied that he had any differences with his father. Vell Paari, 57, named his 82-year-old father as the sole defendant in the originating summons, filed on Dec 2. It is also aimed at discovering the properties owned by Samy Vellu.
