PPP MEETING TO DECIDE TO REMAIN WITH BN OR TO EXPEL KAYVEAS FOR HIS UNWARRANTED OUTBURST

People's Progressive Party (PPP) announced that its schedule to hold an emergency meeting today to discuss on the statement made by Barisan Nasional Chairman and Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi that PPP can leave if it feels since its demand to amend or abolish ISA had been rejected. Recently, PPP President Datuk M Kayveas made a media outburst that PPP will quit the BN if the BN government does not amend the Internal Security Act (ISA), since according to the PPP, the disastrous March 2008 general elections were due to the dissatisfaction of the people with the BN in administering the country.

PPP is considered a mosquito party within the BN and has no significant impact. The party only has a Deputy Minister's portfolio through the Senatorship position since it lost its sole parliamentary seat to the Opposition at Taiping.

Its was further reveal that PPP President Datuk M Kayveas is currently in the United States.

Insiders reveal that the existence of the PPP totally depended on its position within the BN, there are calls that Datuk M Kayveas be expelled from the party immediately due to his frequent attack against the government and also usually trying to seek cheap publicity without evaluating the PPP position with his unwarranted statements. This was confirmed by the fact that Party Advisor and former Senator, S.I. Rajah had met with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah and BN Secretary-General, Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan this afternoon to express its desire to remain in BN and will fully support all its agenda and policies.

At the same moment there seems to be some form of dissatisfaction arising among members against Datuk Kayveas in his style of 'unfair' administration.

But whatever the circumstances, PPP will be forced to apologise for this remark and beg that it wants to remain with BN.
