KUALA LUMPUR, May 13 (Bernama) -- PPP president Datuk M.Kayveas today urged all quarters to understand fully the contents of his "NST Live with Datuk M.Kayveas" interview on Monday.
He said all the remarks he made on PPP's position in the Barisan Nasional (BN) were spontaneous replies to questions posed from readers of the NST (New Straits Times), which totalled 283 in all in the interview which lasted almost four hours at Balai Berita here.

"As such, I regret it when my friends in the BN make comments that are not based on the overall interview," he said in statement here today.
Kayveas was responding to a report in Utusan Malaysia today which carried the headline "Ugut BN: Kayveas perlu ukur kemampuan diri sendiri" (Threatening BN : Kayveas should gauge own capability first) which had comments from two Umno vice presidents, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal and MCA Youth chief, Datuk Wee Ka Siong, all of which were critical of Kayveas.
The three of them had taken Kayveas to task for allegedly threatening the BN in the interview that he would pull PPP out of the coalition if it was not given any seats to contest in the next general election.
"In the online interview, I repeatedly stressed that the PPP would never leave the BN, more so at this critical juncture when the coalition is not as popular as it it used to be," said Kayveas.
He added that he had also reiterated PPP's support for the national leadership and the party's solid backing of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's "1Malaysia, People First, Performance Now" vision for the country.

Four Quizzed Over Threatening Note
KUALA LUMPUR, May 13 (Bernama) -- Police have quizzed four people over the threatening note sent with two bullet casings to Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Senator Datuk T. Murugiah on Monday.
City CID chief Datuk Ku Chin Wah, however, declined to say when the four were interviewed by police.
"We are conducting a comprehensive investigation on the matter and the findings will be made known later," he told a press conference here, Wednesday.
The note and bullet casings, which were sent to Murugiah's office in Putrajaya, were to warn him not to contest any posts at PPP's upcoming elections.
The senator is a supreme council member in PPP.
