Kayveas said there was no member-pinching as those who joined the PPP yesterday had resigned from the MIC earlier and did not belong to any political party.<br \/>\n&#8220;One thing we can assure the MIC is that they will still get strong support here. We are, after all, a BN component party and will support our fellow component party members.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another tit for tat starting?
