All state PPP annual general meetings (AGM) held since Sunday would not be recognised by the party, said newly 'elected' party president T Murugiah.
"I don't recognise (the meetings)," he told reporters in between his meet-the-people session in Sentual, Kuala Lumpur today in his capacity as deputy minister in the Prime Minister department.
Murugiah's latest move is likely to further frustrate M Kayveas, who was "ousted" as president during a controversial emergency general meeting on Sunday.
The Pahang PPP AGM held yesterday was attended by Kayveas and officiated by state information committee chair Mohd Sharkar Shamsudin, representing Pahang Menteri Besar Adnan Yaakob.
At the time of Murugiah's press conference, Kayveas was attending the Perak PPP AGM. Several more are scheduled to lead up to the May 30 nominations for party polls.
On the scheduled June 7 party elections, Murugiah said it has been postponed indefinitely and a new date would be announced soon. He declined to comment on the May 30 nomination process.
He added that the party now has up to two years to hold an AGM, after the May 24th EGM.
Waiting to meet DPM
Murugiah also denied accusations that he was trying to cause PPP to be de-registered, as alleged by Kayveas.
"Leaders come and go, but it doesn't mean we have to bury the party. The party is not at fault. As long as our documents are in order, the Registrar of Societies won’t bother us," he said.
PPP's position with the ROS has been the focal point of attacks against Kayveas by Murugiah's faction.
Kayveas is accused of failing to submit its list of office bearers and financial records to the ROS since 2002.
Kayveas has denied this, saying PPP is in good stead with the ROS as documents have been submitted up to 2007.
Murugiah added that he had submitted some documents to the ROS yesterday morning, informing them of the May 24 EGM and submitted a list of new office bearers.
To a question, Murugiah said that he would meet deputy Barisan Nasional chairperson Muhyiddin Yassin and attend the BN supreme council meeting only if he receives an official invitation.
Yesterday, Muhyiddin said he would meet both leaders to clear the air. However, only Kayveas has met him, during a meeting this morning in Putrajaya.
Murugiah also revealed that he had moved into a new PPP president's office located in Sentul.
The party's current headquarters is in Kampung Attap, Kuala Lumpur.
