KUALA LUMPUR – MyPPP has sacked Tan Sri M. Kayveas as a member of the party following a disciplinary proceeding prompted by a letter from Barisan Nasional (BN) secretary general Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor.
MyPPP secretary-general Datuk Mohan Kandasamy said that the party central working committee has made a decision unanimously to strip Kayveas of all positions in the party, two days after he quit as the party chief.
Vice president Datuk Maglin Dennis D’cruz will be taking over as acting president, Mohan announced.
He also said that MyPPP initiated action against Kayveas before it even received an official notice regarding his resignation from the party.
“We only knew about the letter after our CWC meeting,” Mohan said.
The letter from Tengku Adnan yesterday had asked the party to consider disciplinary action against Kayveas.
“The letter also seemed to imply that we may be asked to leave BN if we did not take action,” party information chief Simon Suresh said.
The letter came days after Kayveas threatened to bring MyPPP out of BN after MIC was given the Cameron Highlands seat, which he was eyeing.
Yesterday, MIC was also given the Buntong state seat in Perak, despite MyPPP eyeing the seat as well.
Mohan said that the action was initiated on grounds that Kayveas had acted unilaterally in matters concerning seat allocations for GE14 and hence had breached the party constitution.
“He wrote a letter to the Prime Minister saying he is willing to let go of all the seats MyPPP contested in exchange for Cameron Highlands. This was not with the agreement of the supreme council,” he said.
Mohan said that he also never gave permission for Kayveas to start working on the ground for a Cameron Highlands candidacy.
“I never gave him the permission. But he went and started work. Now precious party resources and money has been spent in this constituency,” he added.
MIC Youth chief C Sivaraajh will contest In Cameron Highlands.
