The incumbent Batu Gajah MP bad relationship with DAP Perk state leders had finally erupted in the open when she preferred to throw in the towel to contest any seats in the coming 12 GE rather than to show her "fighting spirit" in another seat. It is hard for her as a two-term PM to listen to suggestions from Party leaders as she seems to have the "smarter-than-thou" attitude. With her experience, popularity and the winds of change blowing in DAP's direction, she could have happily took on any seat in Johore and fight for another win. The same can be said for the Bagan team where Phee Boon Poh also threathend to do the same (see Below Report ) But no, she prefers to quit rather than be a sacrificial lamb in a defeat. And probably her new wedded husband has advised her that it could be political suicide to go for a Johor seat with Chua Soi Lek in control. Her decision is decided in anger and with a condition for further support for her recommended candidate to replace her.
This is not the first time we have seen the DAP encountering such problems. People who are too egoistic, larger than life and without realizing it is the Party that have given them a life to be an MP. Others on the same boat were Kua Kia Soong, Lee Ban Chen, Gooi Hock Seng, Teoh Teik Huat, Goh Kheng Huat, Kerk Kim Hock, Sim Kwang Yang, Hu Sepang and not forgetting that Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye

Watch her annoucment in the Video Clip and the reaction from the MB of Perak, Tajoj Rosli laughing and could not believe her decision.

Comment by Lim Guan Eng on Sunday, 17th February 2008 in Petaling Jaya:
I am shocked by the decision made by our candidate for Batu Gajah Fong Po Kuan that she will not defend her parliamentary seat that she has held for two terms. I have received her letter by email expressing her intention which she informed me she sent this morning.

Fong is still needed by the party and the people to serve and continue as MP for Batu Gajah. Fong knows that the party has never asked her to contest any other seat and wants her to continue to stand in Batu Gajah. We will try to contact her to reverse her decision the soonest possible and hopes that she will reconsider.

行动党就是这样，时常闹内讧。在行动党里只是以华人党员为主,却­时常都有闹内斗，还说什么要招收马来党员！反而公正党有各族党员­，可是却没有内部纷争。如果行动党时常都有这类的纷争，华人很容­易会对行动党感到厌倦而选择加入公正党。

无能的汉奸马华黄家全向火箭党求饶，哀求选民别让他们的汉奸份子­输的太惨太难看。真是丢尽祖宗的脸咯!

选民们，三月八号就敢敢出来投反对党，投火箭，打倒汉奸，推翻马­华，让汉奸马华从此消失，免得残害我们的下一代，由火箭党为华裔 在国会里争取福利和利益，保障我们的下一代。
