As an ethnic political party like the many other parties in the ruling coalition Barisan Nasional, MIC claims to represent the Malaysian Indians for its part. However its effectiveness as a champion of Malaysian Indians is yet to be seen.

Lack of skills in leadership, teamwork, finance, planning, project management and the previous failure of MIC sponsored RM 100 million MAIKA Holdings project and infighting among its leaders had cost the party and Indians dearly.

Its records in social development and bringing progress to the Indians in the country has been feeble.

The MIC has been largely limited to have just one cabinet minister since the country obtained its independence in 1957 (except once during the presidency of Tun V.T Sambanthan), whereas the number of Chinese and Malay Ministers have been increasing ever since.
