I believe what Vasantha did was the right move. RS Thanenthiran came into Hindraf fold when the H5 was detained under ISA. He has nothing much except his low business restaurant in Jln Kg Benggali in Butterworth. While many NGO leaders then were restrategying in bring the Hindraf momentum, RS Thenenthiran quickly aligned with Uthayakumar and seek endorsement as one of the Hindraf coordinator. Hindraf wave included all in without checking their backgrd or even their political motive. The vacuum of Hindraf leader quicky grapped by Thanenthiran then while self exile Waythamoorthy was relaying on remote management of the movement by installation 10 man coordinator for Hindraf which I was one of them as National Event Coordinator together with RS Thanenthiran with YB Mano of MP Tk Intan, Lawyer Suren, YB Manicka, HSS Ramaji, PKR Jayathas, NGO Selvam, Brother Tarama and friend Sambulingam. RS Thanenthiran did utilised the vacuum of H5 and posses himself as Hindraf leader. While others were in ISA, he negotiate for a ADUN seat in Bkt Selambau which finally reveal his true intention as to gain political mileage while promoting rights in Hindraf. His failure to gain the seat in Bkt Selambau may eventually made him to use back the platform to negotiate with Najib. I see now how Vasanthakumar sees RS Thanenthiran as UMNO planted guy in Hindraf. We failed to see this then, including myself when I support him to form MMSP. Now after recalling events that took place, he may be planted from beginning. He was SPM leaver whom later join a Maktab to be a teacher. Not servicing long, he took 24 hrs notice to end his service with teaching. Only the teacher and Education dept knows why he took 24 hrs notice to end his service. There many scandal that been revealled later by the local Butterworth people about him inclusive of the HYO building scandal, Mariamman Chariot fund misuse, scrap metal license forgery and many more. MMSP founding member took a move to remove him as President and passed the motion of no confidence after we found his hidden agenda to "sell" Makkal Sakti. He have gone and use backdoor to endorse him. MMSP had already issue letter and notice to all including the ROS that he is not the President. As per the fasal 18(3) of Akta Pertubuhan none can enter into the internal matter of the party including the court. It is the actual people's power that change the political lanscape if Msia and Indians in last GE. We want the Makkal Sakti to be united and back on unity to against the common enemy that is BN and its cronies including RS Thanenthiran.
Vaalge Makkal Sakti.

A former Hindraf national coordinator RS Thanendran has allegedly amassed wealth much to the shock of his ex-comrade KVasantha Kumar.
KUALA LUMPUR: How did former Hindraf national coordinator RS Thanendran, who was once an odd-job worker, become a “multi-millionaire” within a short period of time?
It’s a question which is bothering his former colleague K Vasantha Kumar.
Both have since moved out of Hindraf. Thanendran double-crossed Hindraf when Vasantah Kumar and four other Hindraf leaders were detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA).
He aligned himself with the Barisan Nasional (BN) and went on to quickly establish Malaysian Makkal Sakthi Party (MMSP), which was launched by Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak.
According to Vasantha Kumar, Thanendran, who was recently awarded a datukship by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, was planted by Umno to confuse the Indian community.
“He is an Umno plant to confuse the Indians. He succeeded in confusing the community. But my question is, how did he become a multi-millionaire in a short time?
“It is not possible to become a multi-millionaire overnight, especially if you know his background… I want to challenge him to an open debate. Let him clear his name,” said Vasantha Kumar who is with Kedah PKR.
According to him, Thanendran, a son of a plantation worker who at one time was doing odd-jobs to survive before he eventually ended up in the restaurant business, was now rolling in millions.
Millions revealed
Vasantha Kumar said that thousands of leaflets with details of Thanendran’s alleged wealth had surfaced in Sungai Petani during the Thaipusam festival.
According to the leaflet, Thanendran allegedly renovated his house which was worth RM800,000. He is also said to allegedly own a RM1.4 million house in Penang and a Mercedes Benz car worth RM800,000.
The leaflet also disclosed that Thanendran allegedly owned 80 hectares of an oil palm estate in Kedah, a 25-hectare land in Hulu Selangor and another 10 hectares in Bagan Pinang.
It was learnt that the federal government had awarded RM25 millions worth of contracts to Thanendran under his brother Ramesh’s name. Ramesh is also the vice-president of MMSP.
The revelation has shocked Hindraf and members of Thanendran’s own MMSP party which incidentally is mired in internal conflict.
Said Vasantha Kumar: “Thanendran must explain his wealth to the public, especially the Indians.
“He is not from a wealthy background… his family is poor. But today there are allegations that Thanendran is a multi-millionaire.
“I challenge him to a debate. Let him explain to the public and Indians about his wealth.
“I am giving him one week to reply to my challenge. If he fails to reply, I will expose his malpractice one by one,” he said.
