KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 16 — The president of the newly-launched Makkal Sakti party, R.S. Thanenthiran (picture), has issued a warning to his political rivals that he will take disciplinary action against six central committee members including the deputy president for tarnishing his image.
However, he said he will leave it to the central committee to make the final decision.
The central committee was supposed to meet today, but it was called off and re-scheduled for Saturday. However, the Saturday meeting was subsequently called off by Thanenthiran, citing safety issue, among others.
"I do not know whether as the president I have the power to take action against my deputy but I leave to the central committee to decide," he told reporters today.
Makkal Sakti was launched last October by Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
It is one of a host of disparate political parties formed from what remained of the Hindraf movement and is currently facing turmoil with a majority of its central committee member calling for its president to quit with immediate effect.
The group of dissidents, led by deputy president A. Vathemurthy, is claiming the backing of more than 15 out of the 27 central committee members.
