| After tussle with DAP, PKR’s Chua Jui Meng to get seat in Johor Posted: 03 Apr 2013 01:58 PM PDT Azmin said the PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim met with Chua on Tuesday over the matter. "... Anwar has met and had a long discussion with Chua (Jui Meng) last night about that matter. "We need to see the political scenario that happened there and will offer a suitable area for Chua (Jui Meng) in Johor," Azmin was quoted as saying by Sinar Harian yesterday. Chua (picture) had previously engaged in a public spat with Johor DAP chief Dr Boo Cheng Hau over the Gelang Patah parliamentary seat in the state, but Anwar announced last month that DAP veteran leader Lim Kit Siang would contest the seat instead in Pakatan Rakyat's (PR) drive to make inroads into the state known as Barisan Nasional's (BN) stronghold. Last week, Johor PKR was reported by news portal Malaysiakini as nudging Chua towards the Segamat seat, which party insiders believe it can win.

| Open Letter to Tengku Razaleigh: Time to Take a Bold Stand Posted: 03 Apr 2013 01:53 PM PDT As the election date draws nearer, it is important that all politicians wishing to take part should make known to the public what they stand for. Among our political leaders, there are few that have earned the respect of Malaysians in the same way that Tengku Razaleigh has. Through his actions he has struck many as a man of honour, decency, good sense and ability. These qualities – not superhuman virtues – are the ones needed at the helm of the nation to guide us through this difficult time of racial and religious extremism, and unquenched opportunism and power craze. On what Tengku Razaleigh stands for, there is little or no doubt. However, given his marginalization in the mainstream media, many Malaysians may not be aware of his political philosophy. This philosophy which I heard him elaborate on in Ipoh in 2012 could serve as the template for the nation's political development. It has served as the template for my book, Malaysia: Road Map for Achieving Vision 2020. I call on all election candidates – as well as parties – across the political divide to read and endorse Tungku Razaleigh's 10 principles contained in his speech to the Perak Academy event. These '10 Golden Political Principles' are necessary to ensure Malaysia's political future, irrespective of whichever coalition party wins the elections. Ku Li's Ten Golden Political Principles 1. All political parties are required to include in their constitutional objectives the equality of citizenship as provided for in the Federal Constitution. 2. An economic and political policy that political parties propagate must not discriminate against any citizen. 3. All parties shall include and uphold constitutional democracy and the separation of powers as a fundamental principle. 4. It shall be the duty of all political parties to adhere to the objectives of public service and refrain from involvement in business, and ensure the separation of business from political parties. 5. It shall be the duty of all political parties to ensure and respect the independence of the judiciary and the judicial process.
