PPP gets greenlight to contest in Melaka


PPP gets greenlight to contest in Melaka
KUALA LUMPUR, -- The People's Progressive Party (PPP) has received 'green light' to contest a seat in Melaka for the first time at the general election.
Its president Datuk M.Kayveas said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam and MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek had agreed to hand Kota Laksamana state seat to PPP.
He said MCA's decision to give up the seat showed Barisan Nasional (BN) unity where winnable candidates from other component parties are given the chance to contest.
"This is the Barisan Nasional strategy. Previously, seats allotted to a party were rarely given to others but things have changed," he told reporters after chairing the PPP supreme council meeting here today.
Betty Chew of DAP won Kota Laksamana with a majority of 3,642 votes at 2008 general election, beating Lim Eng Teck of BN.
Kayveas said the candidate for Kota Laksamana seat will be decided by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
