KUALA LUMPUR, April 12 — The Home Ministry has approved MyPPP’s appeal against its deregistration as a political party by the Registrar of Societies (RoS) back in 2019.
MyPPP president Datuk Seri Maglin Dennis D’Cruz said his party was notified by the ministry in a letter yesterday.
“This latest development marks the end of the leadership crisis that has plagued myPPP which has lasted for almost five years,” he was quoted as saying by national news agency Bernama last night.
D’Cruz posted the ministerial letter in his Facebook account last night.
In the letter dated April 11, the ministry also confirmed the validity of the MyPPP supreme council decision that listed D’Cruz as its elected party president in its March 19 annual general meeting here.
The RoS deregistered MyPPP on January 14, 2019 following a leadership tussle between D’Cruz and Tan Sri M Kayveas who had been its then president following the latter’s resignation just before the 14th general election in 2018, which was later withdrawn.
Kayveas had been in favour of taking the party out of the Barisan Nasional coalition while D’Cruz was not.
MyPPP is the successor of the People's Progressive Party, which was founded in 1953 by the late DR Seenivasagam, a prominent Ipoh-based lawyer, and his brother Datuk SP Seenivasagam after they broke away from the then Labour Party.
