[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: PKR vice-president Tian Chua says he is not defending the post he has been holding since the formation of the party in 1999 to “cool the temperatures” in the party brought by the feverish race for positions in the elections due in May.

However, he insisted that he was not quitting politics and would be defending the post of Batu division chief.

“I was among the four vice-presidents but, as we know, three of them have left.

“I am the only incumbent left, but I am making way to avoid the party from facing a tough election in May.

“As you can see, temperatures are rising in the party as the elections are nearing. This is not good with the next general election down the corner,” he told FMT when contacted.
