Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim wanting to contest in a by-election if he is not allowed to contest in the general election is fine. If a by-election happens to be because of a death of a member of parliament, I have no qualms with that.
Read the full story in the New Straits Times here.
In the report it says "Opposition politician Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said he would contest a by-election if he was not allowed to be a candidate in the upcoming general election. The Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) adviser said he would ask one of the party's elected representatives to vacate his or her seat to enable a by-election to be held after April. "I have enough friends who are willing to surrender his or her seat to allow me to contest a by-election," he said.
I find it odd that Anwar is insisting that an elected member vacate his or her seat to let him contest the by election. With all due respect to Anwar, I find this ridiculous to say the least. He is making a mockery of the people who has voted for the PKR person as MP.
Why should we be vote for an MP who is just keeping the seat warm for Anwar?
