| Taiping: Game of high stakes |
Observers have noted that as PPP's sole parliamentarian, M Kayveas is facing a 'must-win' situation to ensure that the party is represented in Parliament.

In addition to this, Taiping voters have also been recently reminded by the DAP that Kayveas had not fulfilled monetary pledges to several Chinese guilds and pledges to build two new Chinese schools.
In a swift counter attack, Kayveas claimed to have resolved the matter with the guilds and the schools board members over the past two days.
Details however would only be released closer to polling day to avoid the opposition from using the announcement as campaign issues.
At a speech during the function yesterday, Kayveas said he had fulfilled his pledges of RM4 million and RM1 million for Chinese guilds and Chinese schools respectively.
