AIMST UNIVERSITY

Tun S. Samy Vellu, former President of the Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC) and Chairman of MIED, was an inspiring leader who embodied the aspirations of the Malaysian Indian community. His political career began in 1979 when he was appointed Minister of Local Government and Housing, later serving as Works Minister until 2008, with a brief tenure as Minister of Energy, Telecommunications and Post from 1989 to 1995. His significant contributions earned him the role of Special Envoy on Infrastructure to India and South Asia in 2010, strengthening Malaysia’s development presence abroad. Among his greatest achievements, the establishment of AIMST University stands as a lasting symbol of his dedication to expanding educational opportunities for all Malaysians. He also championed initiatives in housing, employment, and business to uplift the Indian community. Although he is no longer with us, Tun S. Samy Vellu’s legacy of leadership, service, and resilience continues to inspire Malaysians across generations.
