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.
