Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak will have the final say on who will be contesting in the Cameron Highlands parliamentary seat, said MIC president Dr S Subramaniam.

"PM knows what decision to make," said the Health Minister, when commenting on the tussle for the Cameron Highlands seat between MyPPP and MIC.

Met by reporters after attending a Deepavali celebration with Health Ministry staff today, Subramaniam said MIC's stand on the matter was very clear and it had been conveyed to Najib, who is also the Barisan Nasional chairman.

Subramaniam said he was sure the matter would be resolved and would not be an issue.

MyPPP president M Kayveas had expressed his intention of contesting the Cameron Highlands seat, currently held by former MIC president G Palanivel.

It was reported that Kavyeas wished to meet Dr Subramaniam to discuss on the issue of candidate for the seat.
