Delegates at the PSM annual general meeting today are expected to thrash out the party's direction following the party's mixed results in GE13.
Secretary-general S Arutchelvan said delegates will likely examine the party's relationship with Pakatan Rakyat coalition.
PSM was involved with three multi-cornered contests with PAS and PKR in Selangor and DAP in Perak.
Arutchelvan (right) said that the party would also be exploring ways to re-brand the party, the post-election scenario and the socialist world after Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez's death.
This year, the three-day meeting is held in Cameron Highlands involving 300 delegates, including those from Sabah and Sarawak.
Most sessions will be closed off to the press but party leaders are expected to issue statements every evening.

Party polls
Party elections will also be held. All positions are open for contest, except the party presidency and secretary-general's position which has been won uncontested by Dr Nasir Hashim and Arutchelvan respectively.
Previously, it was reported that Pakatan has set-up a panel to discuss PSM's application to join Pakatan despite secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution's insistence that there is no room for PSM in Pakatan.
The opposition to PSM's entry stems from its clenched-fist party logo and its socialist ideology. However, PSM and PAS has had formal talks earlier this month.
Arutchelvan said PKR vice-president Tian Chua has confirmed that he would represent his party at the event, while local DAP and PAS representations have also confirmed their participation.
