As expected, MCA deputy president Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy, 53, citing his poor health condition, today announced that he was not contesting in the 12th general election.“This is due to purely health reason,” said Chan, who is also the transport minister. He denied that he was forced to step down due to the Port Klang Free Zone scandal last year where the mega-project was eventually bailed out to the tune of RM4.6 billion by the government. Last September, in the midst of the scandal, he was reported to have sought medical treatment in Australia.
He told a press conference held at the MCA headquarters this evening that he would not be contesting to retain his Selayang parliamentary seat in Selangor. The seat is now to be contested by a new face Lee Lee Yew, who is Selayang's MCA Youth chief.
