In 2008 he defeated Barisan Nasional’s Lim Si Pin by a 9,455 majority and was re-elected in 2013 with a 13,284 majority.
He called a press conference this evening, in the wake of speculation that he would be leaving in a dispute about selection of election candidates.
He said he had no problem if not nominated and would help the chosen PKR candidate.
“I didn’t say I was quitting the party, I am confident with my struggle and have been with the party for more than 20 years, since I was a young man, till now. I am committed to the party, I have faith that the PKR leadership will choose the Batu candidate wisely. I am a reformist.
“I have no problems if not selected as a candidate, I will still play a role in the party,” he said.
