Home Ministry rescinds MyPPP deregistration

The Home Ministry has annulled the Registrar of Societies' decision in 2019 to deregister MyPPP.

MyPPP president Maglin Dennis D'cruz said the ministry notified his party of the matter on April 11.

He claimed that the ROS also recognised the validity of the MyPPP supreme council elected on March 19.

D'cruz won the party presidency unopposed during the annual general meeting.

"This latest development marks the end of the leadership crisis that has plagued MyPPP, which has lasted for almost five years," he said in a statement yesterday.

MyPPP was deregistered in 2018 after two factions claimed to be the legitimate leaders of the party.

M Kayveas led one faction while D'cruz (above) led the other.

Kayveas had led the party for two decades, helping secure MyPPP’s return to both houses of Parliament in 2004.

In 2018, just weeks before the general election, Kayveas suddenly resigned as party president but withdrew his resignation letter a few days later.

This resulted in a situation where Kayveas and D'cruz both claimed to be the MyPPP president. At the time, Kayveas' faction was adamant about leaving BN while D’cruz's group was not.

As of today, MyPPP is not part of BN.

MyPPP is the successor of the People's Progressive Party (PPP), which was once a powerful Ipoh-based political outfit.
