KUALA LUMPUR: The Parti Keadilan Rakyat International Bureau looks forward to constructive engagement and closer people-to-people ties with Tamil Nadu following the appointment of film star-turned-politician C. Joseph Vijay as its new chief minister .
Its chairman, Dr Maszlee Malik, said the bureau aims to strengthen cooperation, particularly in the fields of education, youth empowerment, technology, culture and regional cooperation.
"Malaysia and Tamil Nadu share longstanding historical and cultural bonds, especially through the vibrant Malaysian Indian community, whose roots and heritage remain closely connected to Tamil civilisation and identity,” he said in a statement on Monday . Maszlee also congratulated Vijay on his appointment, noting that the victory reflects the democratic aspirations of the people of Tamil Nadu and signals a new chapter of leadership grounded in hope, reform, and the empowerment of ordinary citizens.
He further noted that the bureau recognises the deep political consciousness and rich civilisational heritage of the Indian state, citing its contributions to social justice and economic development as an inspiration to the wider region.
"We believe that the strengthening of democratic institutions, inclusive governance, and people-centred policies remains essential in navigating the challenges of our time,” he said. Maszlee also extended his well-wishes to the new Chief Minister, wishing him wisdom and success in serving the people of Tamil Nadu with justice and compassion. Vijay, 51, was sworn in as Tamil Nadu’s new chief minister on Sunday after garnering enough support from other parties to command a legislative majority.
His Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam party won 108 seats in April's assembly election, falling short of the 118 needed for a majority of its own in the 234-member chamber. - BernamaFour Bukit Indah houses set ablaze in Molotov cocktail attacks
