KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 25 (Bernama) -- The People's Progressive Party (PPP) deems Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Senator Datuk T. Murugiah to be an "illegal deputy minister" because of his refusal to give up the post although sacked from the PPP in June.
PPP president Datuk M.Kayveas, however, said he was leaving it to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak to determine Murugiah's position as the senator had refused to give up the post voluntarily despite the appointment coming under the PPP's quota for ministerial posts.
Kayveas told this to reporters at the PPP's Christmas open house held at the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC) here on Friday.
He added that Murugiah was an ungrateful person in that he did not champion the PPP's interests but instead used the opportunity to pursue his own political ambitions to become the president of PPP and in doing so tried to "stir trouble" in the party.
Among the VIPs who attended the open house were Umno secretary-general Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor and Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing Minister Senator Datuk Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin.
