PPP's 59th annual general assembly on Sunday

A total of 4,047 delegates are expected to attend the People's Progressive Party (PPP)'s 59th annual general assembly at the Putra World Trade Centre here on Sunday.

PPP president Datuk M. Kayveas said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak would open the assembly which would also be attended by former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

On his policy speech, Kayveas said it would focus on the party's preparations for the general election, among others.

"I will make a short speech, on two or three issues including what needs to be revamped in order for us to garner more support," he told reporters before chairing the party's supreme council meeting here tonight.

Also present were party vice president Datuk Maglin Dennis D'Cruz and secretary general Datuk Mohan Kandasamy.

Kayveas said the PPP Cluster Insurance would also be launched at the assembly: "It is open to all PPP members; they only have to pay an annual premium of RM15 for a maximum protection of up to RM20,000," he said.
