No Supporters Group In PPP For Murugiah - Info Chief

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 19 (Bernama) -- People's Progressive Party (PPP) National Information Chief A. Chandrakumanan said Saturday there was no such thing as a "supporters group" in the party for Senator Datuk T. Murugiah who was sacked as supreme council member in May.

"If he has supporters out there, go and form a team and do what you have to do or form a party. There is no such club, don't try to confuse the public on matters like this," Chandrakumanan, who is also Federal Territory PPP president, told Bernama.

He was commenting on a media report quoting Murugiah as saying that he was working on a plan to secure his political future with a "supporters' group" of party members.

After he was sacked, Murugiah convened an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) and was elected president, but last month, the Registrar of Societies (ROS) recognised Datuk M. Kayveas as the rightful president of the party and declared the EGM null and void.

The deputy minister in the Prime Minister's Department is appealing to the ROS to review the decision.
