The result will be Malaysia&#8217;s latest Indian-based party having two parties, two constitutions, two presidents and two CCs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Thanenthiran (<em>right<\/em>), on the other hand, has already sacked the 14 &#8216;troublemakers&#8217; from MMSP, staking his claim to being ultimate party president.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">MMSP was launched by Barisan Nasional chairperson and Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak last October as a breakaway group from Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) and intended to help Najib and his Umno-dominated federal government to regain lost Indian electoral ground.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, as predicted by political pundits then and now, MMSP had split and was believed to be nearing a natural demise.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Both factions have now referred their cases to the Registrar of Societies (ROS) to decide the legitimate inheritor of MMSP &#8211; meaning Najib is set to have the final say on the fate of MMSP.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I lost count of who sacked who, and who appointed who.
