In Taiping, Kayveas said he had not issued any ultimatum to anybody “let alone to the Barisan Nasional” on the allocation of seats.
He said his statement was “misinterpreted and misunderstood.”
“I know when to speak my mind and when to mind my speech and I don’t simply give statements and ultimatums.
“I think we are not in the position to give any ultimatum to anybody but I must say that it is just a struggle for PPP which has been a very strong party and which has been in the opposition.
“We were close to forming a government in Perak before we joined the Barisan in the early 1970s.
“We are a founder member, a very senior member in Barisan Nasional,” he said after handing over financial aid to needy students yesterday.
