“I will be contesting (because) I am not going anywhere except Cameron Highlands.
“I don’t know what ticket. If Barisan Nasional doesn’t give me a ticket, I will be contesting on my own ticket.”
He spoke to reporters after the opening of the 17th Melaka myPPP convention at Melaka Media House, Ayer Keroh, here today.
The convention was officiated by Chief Minister Idris Haron and attended by myPPP vice-president M Gandhi and state myPPP chairman Chiw Tiang Chai.
Kayveas, who is also the transport ministry’s adviser, said he had asked for the “blessings” of BN chairman Najib Razak before serving the people in Cameron Highlands about two years ago to ensure the victory of BN.
Earlier, the media reported that MIC president Dr S Subramaniam had insisted that the party would contest the Cameron Highlands parliamentary seat in GE14.
In another development, Kayveas took to task allegations by certain quarters that the country’s leadership was “bankrupt” and “failed” to govern and manage the country in various aspects, including in development, economy and infrastructure facilities for the people.
“If they say Malaysia is a failed country, then they are also responsible (for the failure) because they were the leaders of the country at one time,” he said.
As such, he added all parties needed to be united to create national stability.
