Kayveas loses bid to challenge Maglin as myPPP president
PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal today dismissed former myPPP president Tan Sri M. Kayveas’ bid to challenge the recognition of Datuk Seri Maglin Dennis D’Cruz as the party’s president.
The Court of Appeal has ruled against former myPPP president Tan Sri M. Kayveas' attempt to challenge Datuk Seri Maglin Dennis D Cruz's recognition as the party's president. A three-member panel unanimously agreed with the High Court's decision to deny Kayveas' request for judicial review proceedings. MyPPP was deregistered in January 2019 following a leadership dispute between Cruz and Kayveas.
Kayveas had also sought to invalidate the party's March 19, 2023 general assembly, alleging that Cruz's appointment as president violated the party's constitution. The panel ruled that Kayveas was no longer a myPPP member and was an undischarged bankrupt, thus having no right to hold office in the party. The court stated that the dispute was an internal matter and not justiciable under Section 18C of the Societies Act.
Kayveas' lawyer expressed that they were awaiting further instructions on whether to appeal the decision.
