 Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim introduced DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang as the Gelang Patah candidate last Monday.


DAP's Batu Gajah MP Fong Po Kuan has said that she will not contest in the southern state. Fong, whose husband is Johor DAP secretary Tan Chen Choon, told The Star yesterday that she would not contest in Johor. 

Ipoh Barat MP M. Kulasegaran, another of DAP's leaders said to have been identified to contest in Johor, has not opposed the proposal publicly but party insiders say he had voiced his preference not to follow Lim to Johor.

Fong and Kulasegaran have been identified to contest in Kluang or Kulai, and Segamat, respectively.

Johor PKR chief Datuk Chua Jui Meng sudden “disappearance” affects morale  campaigning for the general election.
