KUALA LUMPUR - Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today said he will look into a request for greater MIC representation in the government.

Anwar said he will also discuss with his deputy Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and other party leaders in the Unity Government regarding the issue.

Speaking in front of thousands of MIC members and party president Tan Sri SA Vigneswaran at the MIC headquarters here, the prime minister said as of now, he doesn't see any difficulty with that matter.

"I must again reiterate that you're showing enough confidence (towards the Unity Government) and I'm of course, very appreciative of that.

"I've been going all over the districts (for state elections), particularly in the states on the West Coast, and at every function, I've seen MIC leaders attending and given the commitment and respect. I salute them for that,” he said.
