(The Star) - The PPP supreme council, which met Saturday, has called for the dismissal of supreme council member Datuk T. Murugiah from the party.
PPP president Datuk M. Kayveas, who said this, added that the decision was made based on Murugiah’s actions which were deemed to be detrimental to the party’s interests. Kayveas, however said, that no action would be taken against the Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department until the PPP annual general meeting, slated to be held on June 7. Kayveas said Murugiah, who is a PPP supreme council member, would be barred from contesting any party post as his own Silibin branch in Perak was declared invalid. “Murugiah’s Silibin branch in Perak was struck off from the Registrar of Societies (ROS) list on August 21, 2006. “He then issued a statement that he was not challenging the top post in the party after he discovered that his own branch was declared invalid. “So, he has to go back to the ROS to sort out his branch problem,” he said. Kayveas said he had strong evidence to back up his claims that Murugiah had offered money and contracts to win votes, adding that several party members had also lodged complaints with the PPP headquarters. “We also asked our members to report to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission,” he added. Kayveas said Murugiah did not turn up for Saturday’s supreme council meeting although he had said earlier that he would attend. He added that Murugiah had been neglecting his party work. “He should work with the party, attend meetings and come to the party headquarters and perform his duties,” he said. Murugiah could not be reached for comments Saturday. It was reported on Saturday that Murugiah would continue to support Kayveas as PPP president. He also challenged his critics to report to the authorities if they have proof that he had been bribing them.

I think press statements like this just have one purpose, and that is for saying "Hey look, we are still around. Don't forget about us ok?"
Go to hell. Period.
