Tan Sri M. Kayveas has taken legal action to challenge the appointment of Datuk Seri Maglin Dennis D’Cruz as the president of the People’s Progressive Party (MyPPP). Kayveas, 69, filed a motion for leave of a judicial review at the High Court in Kuala Lumpur on July 7. The Home Minister and Registrar of Societies (RoS) are named as the first and second respondents in the motion. The motion requests an order to annul a decision made by Badrul Hisham Alias from the National Registration and Organisation Division of the Ministry of Home Affairs. The decision, stated in a letter dated April 11, reversed the party’s deregistration.
MyPPP was deregistered on January 14, 2019, after a leadership dispute between D’Cruz and Kayveas. Kayveas has also requested that the party’s annual general meeting (AGM) held on March 19 be declared void. He argues that Maglin’s appointment as MyPPP president goes against the party’s constitution.
One of the reasons given by Kayveas for filing the motion is that Badrul Hisham’s approval of the appeal, as stated in the April 11 letter, is unlawful. Additionally, Kayveas claims that both respondents failed to acknowledge that the 67th AGM on March 19, where Maglin was elected president, was invalid. According to Kayveas, the 13 individuals who attended the meeting were dismissed as members in April 2018.
The motion is scheduled to be heard before Judge Datuk Amarjeet Singh on August 3, according to the court system records.
