After branding Murugiah as small boy, now Kayveas is under pressure to investigate of Murugiah went to see Teresa Kok over her complaint on food during detention. Teresa Kok not bothered to reply!!!

I think PPP council member Shanmuganathan will be next target because he was quoted as supporting Murugiah.

PPP Youth chief Senator T. Murugiah’s aggressiveness in overseeing the Public Complaints Bureau has landed him in the soup with his own party.

Party president Datuk M. Kayveas has written to Seputeh MP Teresa Kok to enquire if she had made an official complaint to the bureau concerning the poor quality of food served to her during police detention.

Kayveas wanted to know if Teresa had personally approached Muru­giah, the Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Depertment, to handle her case.

Your feedback is important to the party as to whether he responsibly discharged his duties as a deputy minister, wrote Kayveas in a letter dated Sept 29.

Kayveas, when asked, said he had been questioned by someone (whom he did not want to identify) whether Murugiah went to Teresa’s office on his own initiative.

I am being asked why a BN official went to an opposition party member’s office to see Teresa and I have to reply.

When contacted, Kok said she was not going to reply to the letter because she did not want to get involved in PPP’s internal politics.

I have ignored the letter and I really do not know what is the purpose of the letter.

As far as I am concerned, Murugiah had genuinely executed his duties as a deputy minister and there should be no reason for the letter to be written to me, she told The Star.

On Saturday Kayveas was asked at a press conference if there was any problem with Murugiah’s public service, to which he answered no.

Meanwhile, PPP supreme council member Dr N.A. Shanmuganathan said Murugiah was doing excellent public service attending to problems faced by the public.

His work has created a great impact on the public as he has been able to resolve problems immediately by getting the parties involved to communicate and iron out issues.

Mosquito party president says that its Youth chief is just small boy growing up. Hmm…very interesting. Maybe he meant it as a joke or the newspaper quoted him wrongly. Anyway, the issue is that PPP youth wing is having election this month, but Murugiah won’t be standing as he is way pass the age limit of 40. So, he will be without a party post until PPP elections next year.

Kayveas says Murugiah doesn’t want to continue as Youth leader:

“But he didn’t want. I think he wants to contest for a higher post,” Kayveas told a news conference after chairing PPP’s supreme council meeting yesterday.

Asked whether he and Murugiah have any differences, Kayveas said: “There is only a difference of style. I don’t know how Murugiah handles these stories but I’m mature enough.”

Asked if he sees Murugiah as a threat to his post, Kayveas replied: “What threat? He’s just a small boy growing up. I don’t think he will even get the support and nominations from the members.”

Hmm…a president shouldn’t belittle his own men. He cannot ridicule those who want to stand for party elections. Let the members decide want to nominate or not. Isn’t it ethically wrong to suggest that members don’t nominate A or B?

By the way, 3000 KIMMA members joined PPP, with two of leaders getting supreme council member position.

Well, Gerakan is trying to shed its Chinese party image. A Malay member is contesting vice president’s post. The guy is Dr Asharuddin Ahmad. This is an historic moment because he is the only Malay contesting for the post, and its the highest ever post contested by a Malay since 1980s, says The Star (NST says since 1968).He is the CEO of International College of Health Sciences and has been a member for 10 years now.

PPP, also known as the mosquito party due to Samy Vellu, reiterated that it will stick with BN. Its been quite some time since PPP appeared in news (except its Deputy Minister Murugiah and his Public Complaints Bureau), so I guess it was due. Nothing much to say, so they just repeat the old stuff. The party president Kayveas said PPP may leave BN in the future if a one-party system does not materialise.

The time has come to discuss how Barisan can be a single party and to do away with race-based politics, which can lead to political instability.

“Even Datuk Onn Jaafar who founded Umno, talked about a single party almost 60 years ago.

Kayveas said PPP had submitted a draft report on the single party system to the Barisan supreme council. Not bad! He should check if the report is still sitting along other reports and memorandums. You never know, so better check from time to time.

Gerakan and PPP may have same type of members in the future, so it makes sense to merge. Even MCA can join in if Ong Tee Keat gets his way and renames MCA to Malaysian Community Association, as told in his interview recently in the papers.

Note: Man Utd leading 1-0 at Blackburn, a headed goal from Wes Brown. Half time now.
