KeADILan, not DAP, to contest Teluk Kemang
Ng Boon Hooi
3.30pm, TUES: KeADILan will be fielding its candidate for
the Teluk Kemang by-election
although it has been earlier speculated that DAP would be
representing Barisan Alternatif
against Barisan Nasional's MIC.
According to a source, the candidate's name and the
banner to be used - either
KeADILan or DAP - would be announced by Opposition Leader
and PAS president Fadzir
Noor this Sunday.
KeADILan will most probably field its Negeri Sembilan
head and information chief Ruslan
Kassim.
It has been reported that DAP and KeADILan were at
loggerheads over who to field in the
by-election. Joining the fray in Teluk Kemang is another
KeADILan breakaway group Parti
Reformasi Insan Malaysia (Prim), represented by its
protem president, P. Uthayakumar.
According to a reliable source within KeADILan, its
deputy president Dr. Chandra
Muzaffar has put his foot down on not giving the seat to
DAP, under whose banner
KeADILan supreme council member N. Gopalakrishnan fought
and lost in the November
general elections.
"It was said that if KeADILan is not allowed to fight the
seat, KeADILan might withdraw
from the BA coalition," the source said.
The source pointed out that the seat allocations was
discussed by Chandra with other
BA leaders during the last general elections, and some
quarters had faulted Chandra for
not fighting hard enough to obtain more seats for
KeADILan.
Another source from BA also admitted that the fight for
the seat has been seen as a "do
or die" battle for Chandra, for if the seat was
surrendered to DAP, the party's No. 2 would
open himself to attacks from members.
On the argument as to which party the seat originally
belongs to, the source within the
KeADILan claimed that the allocation has been settled
during the last elections, that
Teluk Kemang belonged to KeADILan but it could use the
DAP banner.
According to an informal analysis, while about 50 percent
of Malay and Chinese have
voted for BA in last general elections, the majority of
Indian voters backed BN in the Teluk
Kemang parliamentary seat.
Initially it was speculated that DAP deputy secretary
general M. Kulasegaran will be
fielded by DAP after it was learnt that party's chairman
Lim Kit Siang and vice-chairman
Karpal Singh were not interested in the seat.
The nominations for the by-election will be held on May
30 and polling on June 10. The
by-election is being held following the death of the BN's
S.A. Anpalagan, who was Health
Ministry's parliamentary secretary.
Anpalagan won the seat in last November's with a majority
of 9,942 votes, making it a
tough seat for BA to wrest.
According to the voters records, Teluk Kemang has 66,646
voters, with Malays
accounting for about 45.44 percent, Chinese 33.23
percent, Indians 20.64 percent, and
others 0.7 percent.
