PEOPLE’s Progressive Party (MyPPP) president Maglin Dennis D’Cruz has died at Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital in Klang. He was 67.

The matter was confirmed by MyPPP senior vice-president Loga Bala Mohan when contacted by Bernama this morning.

“Yesterday, when he went out with his friend, he complained of chest pain before being taken to the hospital. Before that, he contacted me at 10.30pm to discuss a few things regarding the supreme council meeting this week and party-related matters.

“Then, around 1am, I received the news that he had passed away at midnight. His remains are still in the hospital for funeral arrangements,” he said.

Loga, who had known Maglin since 1997, said the MyPPP chief was a kind, caring person who enjoyed helping others.

Maglin was elected to helm MyPPP in March after he won unopposed during the party polls at its annual general assembly.

He previously served as deputy information, communication and culture minister between 2010 and 2013. – Bernama, November 17, 2023.
