I am shocked by the decision made by our candidate for Batu
Gajah Fong Po Kuan that she will not defend her parliamentary
seat that she has held for two terms. I have received her letter
by email expressing her intention which she informed me she sent
this morning.
Fong is still needed by the party and the people to serve and
continue as MP for Batu Gajah. Fong knows that the party has never
asked her to contest any other seat and wants her to continue to
stand in Batu Gajah. We will try to contact her to reverse her
decision the soonest possible and hopes that she will reconsider.
