PSM, which is now an officially recognised political party, will continue to cooperate with the opposition alliance Pakatan Rakyat on a 'minimal programme' basis.
On the same note, it's secretary-general S Arutchelvan had reporters and party members in stitches when he declared: "We will never join BN (Barisan Nasional), we can guarantee you that."
He said if PSM is invited to join Pakatan Rakyat, the matter will have to be discussed by its congress before any decision can be made.
Speaking at a press conference in Kuala Lumpur, he also stressed that the socialist party, which claims to have some 10,000 members, will remain as opposition.
