KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 5 — Former Batu MP Chua Tian Chang today returned to this parliamentary seat to contest in the 15th general election (GE15).


As one of the founding members of PKR, Chua however said he is always in spirit with PKR and confirmed he has not quit the party.

He said he is ready to face any action by the party leadership for contesting in Batu despite not being PKR's official pick.


He arrived at around 8am near the nomination centre to a crowd of around 100 supporters who shouted “Hidup Tian Chua!”


The supporters wore white shirts bearing his face and the words “I'm back” at the front, and the words “Tian Chua for Batu” at the back.


Incumbent Batu MP P. Prabakaran is PKR's candidate for the seat in GE15.

kt comments:

When we consider Tian Chua was disqualified in GE14 for a legality which was ruled as incorrect by a subsequent Court, and his 'convenient' substitute was suspected of being an 'interfering' candidate but adopted to deny BN the Batu seat, and his candidacy for GE15 ignored by PKR, we can then begin to understand how the poor bloke must have felt, and thus his action today. I feel sympathetic to his action. Wish him all the best [but desiring to see Siti in cheongsum on 19th night at the same time, wakakaka]
