PPP - Salvage whatever dignity you still have.

As someone who is born and brought up in Ipoh, I'm much acquainted with places like Taman DR Seenivasagam and Jln SP Seenivasagam (that's where my beloved school St. Michael's Institution is situated) from young. I know too the influence the Seenivasagam brothers and PPP had on Ipoh. Since the death of the Seenivasagam brothers, the political fortune of PPP has been going downhill and it's an understatement to say that it is a pale shadow of its heydays.

In recent years it has been humiliated again and again by big brother UMNO. The latest is the call by the PM for PPP to quit BN if it insists on the ISA being amended/reviewed. There is not going to be any amendment or review. Period. Sadly some of its leaders like its Youth Chief are still in denial mode. Though shocked, T Murugiah thinks Pak Lah didn't mean what he said because he is a nice guy.

Well, PPP, do the right thing and quit. Salvage whatever dignity you still have. Otherwise, in another generation the only memory left of PPP is a park and a street. (That is also provided the politicians do not change their names). Gerakan should do the same too.
