GE14 | M Kayveas, who was sacked from MyPPP last week, has declared that he is "resuming duties" as the party's president.

In an Instagram posting today, the veteran politician announced that he was retracting his letter of resignation.

This was despite MyPPP secretary-general K Mohan saying that the party had sacked Kayveas before they received his resignation letter. 

Mohan said the MyPPP disciplinary board had on April 24 convened a meeting which decided to sack Kayveas.

He added that Kayveas' resignation letter, dated April 23, was only received on April 25.

Meanwhile, Kayveas said he was withdrawing his resignation letter as it was not "presented to a proper and legally constituted supreme council meeting" in accordance with the party's constitution.

"Further, since there is an attempt to hijack the party by conspiration between the senior vice-president and secretary-general, and an attempted coup d'etat, I shall remain and resume my 'duties and powers' as the lawful president...," he said in a letter addressed to the MyPPP supreme council.

The latest letter was dated April 27.

Kayveas said he would bring "discipline and unity" in a "beautiful and truly 1Malaysia party of the future".

In sharing the letter on Instagram, Kayveas said MyPPP needed to be "cleaned up".

"It cannot be allowed to be done the way it was done.

"Therefore, I have no alternative but to withdraw my earlier peaceful and amicable intention to step down which was refused by the supreme council and resume all my duties to avoid members and office-bearers (from) being bullied.

"We need to restore professionalism over amateurism," he said.

Previously, it was reported that MyPPP acted on the instructions of BN secretary-general Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor after Kayveas insisted the party is given the Cameron Highlands parliamentary seat.

In a related development, Kayveas also penned a 10-page letter to Mohan, which was also forwarded to the media.

Titled “conspiracy and unlawful actions by you in violation of the MyPPP constitution,” Kayveas said the supreme council cannot directly or indirectly under any circumstances replace the president unless by way of a general assembly or extraordinary general assembly.

He also said that there is no discipline board or discipline committee in MyPPP.

“We only have a pengerusi lembaga disiplin (disciplinary board chairperson) appointed by me on Nov 30, 2014.

“Therefore, it is mandatory that a supreme council meeting has to be called by the president and a committee has to be appointed to assist the chairman of the disciplinary committee,” he added.

Meanwhile, Free Malaysia Today quoted Mohan telling Kayveas to "not come back", as he has been sacked from the party.
