Instead, alleged Kayveas, Murigiah had pursued his own political ambitions to become the president of PPP and in doing so tried to "stir trouble" in the party.
Sacked and 'elected'
Murugiah was sacked in June and then called for an extraordinary general meeting that ‘elected’ him as the party’s president.
In early August, the Registrar of Societies affirmed Kayveas as PPP president as well as confirmed the sacking of Murugiah. The ROS also ruled that the EGM was invalid.
Kayveas then said he was prepared to re-admit those who had left – or had been sacked from - the party except Murugiah, who was labeled a rebel leader who broke away from the leadership to lay claim to the presidency.
Murigiah, however, continues to be a Deputy Minister in the PM’s Department; in charge of public complaints.
Name proposed to replace Murugiah
Kayveas said he was leaving it to Najib to determine Murugiah's position, as the senator had refused to give up his position voluntarily despite the appointment coming under the PPP's quota for ministerial posts.
He also said he has proposed to the PM the name of the person to replace Murugiah.
People’s Progressive Party president Datuk M Kayveas said he had proposed the name of the person to replace Senator Datuk T Murugiah as Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister to the Prime Minister.
“The Prime Minister has asked for a name (to replace Murugiah). I have given him the name,” he said.
Asked whether he was confident that Murugiah would be replaced, he said : ”That’s the Prime Minister’s prerogative. It’s not important to me at all. I’m not concerned. I just want to save the party from this troublemaker.”
Kayveas claimed Najib was aware of the problems in the PPP and probably needs an appropriate time to make the necessary change.
“For 15 years, the party had never had as much trouble as we are facing now,” he added, denying that he was trying to influence the PM as he was seen at most of Najib’s functions. - Malaysian Mirror
KUALA LUMPUR - The People's Progressive Party (PPP) has accused sacked T Murugiah of being an illegal deputy minister.
This is because the former PPP Youth chief and challenger to party president M Kayveas has refused to give up his post in the administration of Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.
Kayveas told reporters at a PPP Christmas ‘open house’ at the PWTC here on Friday that Murugiah, a senator, was an ungrateful person in that he did not champion the party’s interest.
