Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department T Murugiah, who is without a post in People's Progressive Party (PPP), said he would leave it to the prime minister to determine his fate.

"I leave it to the prime minister because it is his prerogative, and he understands that I had played my role since being appointed as deputy minister in JPM (Prime Minister’s Department).

"I believe he will decide on my future and my supporters of nearly 157,000 people. They are important to win back our seats which we lost in the last election," he said.

"My supporters agreed to be with me, therefore I have no plans to set up a new party or to support the opposition. We will continue working with BN and support Najib Razak's leadership.

"We agreed and accepted the decision by the Registrar of Societies (ROS) now. Meanwhile, we will make an appeal," he told Bernama.

Murugiah was dismissed by the PPP's disciplinary board as a supreme council member of the party on misconduct, where he declared himself as the new president of PPP following an extraordinary meeting in Putrajaya last May.

In a blow to Murugiah, ROS has two weeks ago declared Murugiah’s rival M Kayveas as the legitimate PPP president .
