KUALA LUMPUR:
People’s Progressive Party (MyPPP) president M Kayveas has called for a special meeting with MIC president Dr S Subramaniam to resolve the issue of the Cameron Highlands parliamentary constituency in the next general election (GE14).

Kayveas, in a statement, yesterday said he hopes the meeting would be held in the near future to discuss and find a solution in the best interest of Barisan Nasional (BN) achieving victory.

“My decision is to resolve the matter in the best way and avoid conflict. I am also worried that if this situation persists on social media, it will cause tension between MyPPP and MIC, thus affecting BN’s reputation,” he said.

He said MyPPP was confident Prime Minister Najib Razak, who is also BN chairman, would make the best decision to nominate the candidate most suitable for the parliamentary seat.

Previously, Kayveas had claimed the Cameron Highlands seat would be returned to MyPPP based on a promise made by former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad in 2000 but Subramaniam, who is also health minister, said the constituency will be contested by MIC as announced by Najib earlier.
