KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 24 (Bernama) -- The People's Progressive Party (PPP) wants the Barisan Nasional (BN) to be selective in admitting non-political bodies as members of the coalition when its constitution is amended.
Its president Datuk M.Kayveas said that this was to ensure no racial and problematic organisations were admitted into the BN's fold.
"I am totally against racial politics," he told reporters here Sunday.
Kayveas said this when asked to comment on the plan to amend the BN's constitution to admit friendly individuals, non-governmental organisations and political parties as members, as was announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, who is also BN chairman, earlier this year.
Earlier, Kavyeas had opened a forum on Sri Lankan Tamil refugees in Malaysia which was organised by a non-governmental organisation.
Kayveas said he sympathised on the fate of 3,970 Sri Lankan Tamil refugees in Malaysia which still remained uncertain even though they had been here for six months and that he would be writing to the government to suggest that they be allowed to work here while awaiting for deportation to a third country by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
