His social media post reads:

“It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I received the tragic news of the demise of Tun Samyvellu the Former President of MIC and a legendary Minister in the Malaysian Cabinet from his son DS Velpari.

To many of us, he was the ultimate mentor. His contribution to the nation and to the Indian Community will be permanently etched in our memories. MIED, Aimst University, and Tafe College were his immortal contributions.

My deepest condolences to Toh Puan, DS Velpari and the rest of the family on his demise. He led a full and glorious life and is going off filled with deep respect and appreciation. May his soul reach the abode of the Lord. Om Namashivaya.”

Always will remember this pic @ the Parl lobby in 99'.
Though we had disagreements, at opposite sides of the aisle, he was a good friend.
A fighter in many ways.
Many debates we had, including the South Indian Labour Fund, as depicted in the picture.
